Restaurant Leslieville jobs in Toronto, ON

Creative Content Lead — Bilingual (Mandarin/English) | Full-Time, Remote

About the role

Dolkun Media runs short-form social media content for restaurants and local businesses. We manage over 28 client accounts and are growing. Every account gets a full content shoot roughly every two months, and someone has to own the creative from idea to finished video. That's this role. We're hiring two.

As Creative Content Lead, you own the full creative pipeline for your accounts: strategy, ideation, shot list, the editor's game plan, and final review. You are the quality-control layer between raw footage and published content. If it goes out, it's because you said it was ready.

What you'll do

• Client discovery: run pre-shoot calls with our CEO and, where needed, with clients to understand the location, available talent and their availability.
• Content ideation: research content outliers and trending topics, and build concepts that fit each client's brand, audience and growth goals.
• Shot lists: prepare detailed shot lists for every shoot, submitted at least 5 business days in advance.
• Videographer briefings: walk our videographers through concepts, creative direction and shot priorities before each shoot.
• Post-production game plans: write the editor's brief after each shoot, covering editing guidelines, style references, pacing and reference videos.
• Editorial feedback: review first drafts, give Loom video feedback, and manage revisions until the final cut meets the standard.
• Graphic design support: help with social graphics and promotional assets as needed.

Who we're looking for

This role comes down to taste. Skills can be trained; taste can't be replicated. To excel here, you need:

• A distinct sense of taste and a sharp eye for detail in short-form video: hooks, pacing, visuals and what makes content perform.
• Strong pattern recognition: you can see why a piece of content works and apply it elsewhere.
• Fast self-learning ability.
• Fluent Mandarin AND fluent English (required). Game plans are written in Chinese, and you'll communicate with clients and editors in Mandarin. On-screen text and everything else are in English. Both languages are tested in the interview. If you are not fluent in both, please do not apply.
• Organized and deadline-driven across many accounts at once.
• Nice to have: restaurant/F&B content experience, graphic design skills, and comfort with Loom, WeChat, Dropbox and project trackers.

Training provided

You'll receive daily one-on-one training on short-form content directly from our CEO, plus a step-by-step training manual covering our entire content process.

Compensation & growth

• Base salary: $40,000 per year, paid twice monthly.
• Performance bonus: earned on the organic results of the content you direct, under our written Compensation Plan. With a full book of 15 client accounts, projected first-year on-target earnings are about $46,000 to $50,000. This is a projection, not a guarantee.
• Vacation pay: 4%, on top of salary.
• Career path: a written path with defined levels, measurable promotion criteria and a base salary increase at each step. Full details are shared once you join.
• No group health or dental benefits in the first year; reviewed after 12 months.
• 3-month probationary period.

Schedule

Full-time, fully remote. Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM Eastern Time (6:30 AM to 2:30 PM Pacific), 40 hours per week, for all locations.

How to apply

Apply here. You'll then receive a short question: send us 3 Instagram accounts in the restaurant industry that you personally follow and like, and tell us why for each one. Your answers are what we'll base the interview on, so put some thought into them. Our process has two stages, including a short creative assignment.

This posting is for two existing vacancies. We do not use AI tools to screen, select or assess applicants; every application is reviewed manually. Accommodation is available on request for applicants with disabilities.
