Valor Real Estate Development is a boutique luxury developer creating community-transforming real estate icons in emerging cities. Our portfolio is anchored by prestigious brand partnerships — currently Aston Martin and Roche Bobois — with further partnerships anticipated as the company scales. 

We are looking for a Junior Marketing & Creative Associate who brings genuine production skills to the table: someone who can pick up a camera, step behind a gimbal, sit at an edit bay, and produce material that looks and feels like the luxury brand we are. The ideal candidate is a marketing generalist with a creative production core — what the industry sometimes calls a "preditor" (producer, videographer, photographer, editor) — who is equally at home building a brand deck in InDesign, color-grading a walkthrough film, or scheduling a week of social content.

• Build and maintain a well-organized photo archive by project, event, and date 
• Collaborate with the Deputy Manager on drone shoot days (ground crew and second camera) 
• Note: Licensed drone operation (Mavic Pro 4) remains the exclusive legal domain of the Deputy Manager. A candidate with their own Transport Canada or FAA drone certification is a significant tiebreaker.

• Assist with, and eventually own, day-to-day posting and scheduling across platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok) 
• Draft captions, copy, and hashtag strategies in the established Valor brand voice 
• Produce social-first content: reels, carousels, stories, short-form video 
• Repurpose long-form film and photography assets into platform-optimized social content
