Senior Video Editor (Sports & Digital Content)

The role

We're looking for a Senior Video Editor who goes beyond editing and thinks like a content creator. This role is about shaping stories, not just assembling footage. You'll work across short-form and long-form content, own quality across outputs, and help define how content is packaged, adapted, and consumed across platforms. You should be comfortable making decisions fast, improving ideas in real time, and operating in a live sports environment where timing and judgment matter.

What You'll Own
• Take raw footage, briefs, or match moments and turn them into clear, engaging narratives
• Lead editing across short-form (Reels/Shorts) and long-form (shows, features, highlights)
• Create high-impact edits including hype videos, promos, teasers, and key moment storytelling
• Think beyond a single video and build content ecosystems:
• Long-form ? multiple short-form cuts
• Variations for hooks, retention, and distribution
• Define how content is packaged: hooks, openings, captions, thumbnails (where relevant)
• Ensure every output is platform-native and optimized, not just resized
• Maintain high storytelling and quality standards across volume and tight timelines
• Work closely with content, design, and strategy teams to improve ideas, not just execute them
• Take final ownership of edits during high-pressure/live scenarios
• Ensure consistency in tone, style, and brand language across outputs

Team & Workflow Ownership
• Review, guide, and improve output from a team of editors
• Set benchmarks for quality, speed, and storytelling
• Bring structure to fast, high-volume workflows
• Maintain clean project systems, file management, and versioning

What You Bring
• 10-12 years of experience editing both short-form and long-form content
• Strong understanding of sports, live content, and audience behavior
• Expert in Adobe Suit /DaVinci / Final Cut Pro
• Working knowledge of After Effects (for basic motion support)
• Proven ability to create high-energy edits (hype, promos, teasers)
• Strong instinct for what works vs what just looks good
• Ability to think on your feet and make quick editorial decisions
• Experience managing or mentoring editors
• A self-starter mindset with ownership and accountability
• Familiarity with AI tools to improve speed and workflow
• Multilingual proficiency will be an added advantage

Operating Reality
• Work in shift-based schedules aligned with live sports calendars
• High-volume, fast-turnaround environment
• Requires consistency under pressure, not just peak creativity

What Success Looks Like
• You consistently turn content into engaging, story-driven outputs
• You improve not just videos, but how the team approaches editing
• Your edits are platform-aware, not format-adjusted
• You create repeatable formats and scalable content systems
• You are trusted to own critical moments and high-visibility content
• Ability to match references precisely and consistently deliver on time.
