Overview
Digital Content Creator Jobs in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at Sparrow
The Role
We're looking for a Digital Content Creator to join us for the summer and take ownership of our short-form video content. This isn't a "sit at a desk and schedule posts" kind of role. You'll be out in the city, visiting real Sparrow homes, meeting real people, and turning those moments into scroll-stopping content.
Here's what a typical week looks like:
· Produce 3-4 short-form videos per week for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook
· Plan and execute on-location shoots across Toronto neighbourhoods (the Annex, Danforth, Leslieville, Mount Pleasant, Midtown, and more)
· Capture host tours, housemate interviews, neighbourhood walks, and day-in-the-life style content
· Edit all footage yourself using tools like CapCut, Premiere Pro, or whatever you're fastest in
· Collaborate with the CEO on the weekly content calendar and creative direction
· Stay on top of trending formats and audio so our content feels native to each platform
· Write captions and suggest hashtags that actually fit (no generic spam)
You're a Fit If
· You can shoot and edit a Reel that holds attention past 3 seconds
· You have a portfolio that shows your work. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, a personal project, anything where we can see how you tell stories
· You're based in Toronto and comfortable getting around the city by transit
· You're currently enrolled in a Canadian post-secondary program (this is required for the wage subsidy that funds this role)
· You're comfortable working independently and managing your own shoot schedule
· You care about the craft, not just the metrics
Extra points if: you've lived in shared housing and get the vibe firsthand; you're bilingual; you're confident on camera and willing to be in front of it sometimes.
Logistics
