Who we are
Recognized as one of Canada's fastest-growing companies, Lumen5 is an online video creation platform powered by machine learning and designed for businesses, brands, and creatives.
Launched in 2017, our mission is to make video marketing accessible to everyone. We believe that video is the most powerful tool for storytelling, but not everyone has the skills or resources required to produce thumb-stopping videos. We created Lumen5 to solve this problem.
We currently have over a million users and work with notable brands including Salesforce, SAP, Siemens, and The World Health Organization. Our company has won growth awards from Canadian Business and the Globe and Mail, and we were crowned the winner of the New Ventures BC Competition 2019 which recognizes innovation in BC's tech sector. In 2021, we've also been twice recognized as a top 4 finalist for the BC Tech Associations Technology Impact Awards 'Tech Culture of the Year'.
We now have our sights set on revolutionizing how businesses create video and we're looking for like-minded folks to join us in elevating Lumen5 to the next level.
Don't see the role you're looking for? Our team is always growing, and that means new opportunities pop up fairly often.
- Note: This posting is not actively monitored.** You'll receive an automated confirmation that we've received your submission, but our team will only reach out if and when we have a role available that we think would be a good fit for you.
We ask for a lot of info up front about what you want to be doing next and why you'd be a great fit at Lumen5 — If we don't know what you want to do, how will we know we need you?
Here are some clues that you might be the kind of person we're looking for:
- You have a low ego. You would rather elevate others than shine the spotlight on yourself. You look out for others and strive for success as a collective rather than as individuals.
- You love learning, and consistently pursue personal growth and professional development. You read books, listen to podcasts, take courses, and do whatever it takes to keep learning and growing.
- You pride yourself on working both hard and smart. You love getting your hands dirty to get things done and have no problem asking for help when you need it.
- You are opinionated and love challenging the status quo. You love discussions around the way we do things, and are always open to others ideas for how to do it better.
- You thrive in ambiguity. You're excited by problems without straightforward answers, and you value having the autonomy to figure them out.
- You light up when you talk about what you do, and you're energized by the problems you're solving.
Note: If you see an open position that matches your skillset, we encourage you to apply for the best chance of success!
