How to Apply for Video Editor

at veritree

🏢 About veritree

Veritree is a Vancouver-based tech company using blockchain and satellite verification to track tree planting projects, aiming to plant 1 billion trees by 2030. Unlike typical video production companies, you'd be creating content that directly supports environmental restoration and climate action. Working here means your video editing skills contribute to measurable ecological impact rather than just commercial goals.

About This Role

As Video Editor at Veritree, you'll transform raw footage from tree planting projects worldwide into compelling visual stories that demonstrate environmental impact to donors and stakeholders. This role requires balancing creative polish with technical precision in Davinci Resolve while collaborating closely with the Marketing team to ensure videos align with their mission-driven messaging. Your work will directly showcase how technology verifies and amplifies reforestation efforts.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing raw footage from field teams across different time zones, color grading outdoor scenes in Davinci Resolve to maintain natural authenticity while meeting brand standards, and collaborating with the Marketing team on storyboards for upcoming campaigns. You might create motion graphics in After Effects to visualize tree growth data, then sync audio interviews with planting volunteers before exporting final assets for social media and stakeholder reports.
