Junior Editor

Stocksy United • Victoria, BC

6d • CA$50,000 - CA$60,000 • Remote

About The Position

Stocksy is an artist-led stock co-operative with over 1,800 co-owner artists around the world, including photographers, videographers, and illustrators, who make work that premium brands trust. Our artists do not just contribute content; they own the company. Our collection is growing, and so is the community of artists contributing to it. As AI makes generic imagery limitless, the advantage no longer goes to whoever has the most content. It goes to whoever delivers premium, human-made visuals that are commercially useful, emotionally real, and relevant to what buyers are actually trying to communicate. We are looking for a Junior Editor who can judge what belongs in this collection and why. Someone with a sharp eye, a genuine instinct for quality, and the communication skills to help contributors understand the thinking behind editorial decisions.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience in photo editing, curation, or a related visual content role, whether through employment, freelance, or practice as a working artist
• A strong eye for both aesthetic and technical image quality
• Experience giving constructive feedback to photographers or other creatives
• Familiarity with the stock photography or visual media landscape
• Strong attention to detail — particularly around metadata, releases, and content standards
• Ability to work independently and manage your own queue in a remote environment, with experience using project management software preferred
• Experience exploring how AI tools can make your curation work more efficient, whether that's research, analysis, or workflow
• You understand that editorial judgment, taste, and an eye for what belongs in this collection can't be outsourced. You approach new tools with curiosity, not fear

Nice To Haves

• Ideally video technical knowledge

Responsibilities

• Review and curate incoming submissions against Stocksy's editorial, technical, and commercial standards
• Accept, decline, or return submissions with clear, well-reasoned feedback that helps contributors understand what belongs in this collection and why
• Review submissions for legal compliance: releases, copyright, and anything that could create risk for the brands that use our work
• Bring your editorial decisions to the team openly, discuss edge cases, and be willing to have your thinking challenged
• Flag collection gaps, emerging trends, and editorial opportunities you are noticing across the queue
• Support contributors in building portfolios that are stronger, more consistent, and more commercially relevant over time
• Maintain metadata quality across reviewed assets
• Contribute to team conversations about collection standards, review processes, and how we keep our editorial approach clear and shared

Benefits

• Base Salary: $50,000 to $60,000 per year (pro-rated to part-time), reflective of experience
• Variable Salary: this role is eligible for a performance-based bonus each fiscal year
• Paid Time Off: six weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, and one paid volunteer day
• Health & Wellness: health and dental benefits, or a health spending account for team members outside Canada, a $1,000 annual education & wellness allowance, and a flexible, fully-remote workplace
