Job Description
If you’re reading this, you are probably a creative who continuously looks for innovative ways to tell stories whether it be through a 30-second reel or a few minute long video.

Let’s break down the FAQs of this job ad to help you decide if this is the right opportunity for you.
What does Stallion Express do?
Stallion Express (www.stallionexpress.ca) is a Toronto-based company specializing in B2B shipping solutions for online sellers. With multiple locations in Ontario, BC, and Quebec - our clients range from part-time eBay sellers to bigger eCommerce web stores, shipping hundreds of packages per day!
