This is a hands-on opportunity to create high-quality sports content across a varied portfolio, including social-first content, YouTube, branded campaigns, commercial partnerships, event coverage and longer-form films.
You'll work across a range of sports and sporting stories, creating content designed to engage fans and audiences across digital, social and broadcast platforms. From fast-turnaround match and event content to athlete stories, behind-the-scenes films and campaign work, you'll be responsible for turning footage and creative briefs into compelling content.
Key Responsibilities
- Take ownership of projects from brief through to final delivery, working closely with the Creative Director, designers, communications specialists and production partners to develop ideas and deliver work at pace.
- Edit engaging sports content for social, digital, YouTube and other platforms.
- Edit short-form social content, reels and vertical video alongside longer-form features and films.
- Create fast-turnaround event, match and competition highlights, subject to rights.
- Produce athlete and talent stories, interviews and behind-the-scenes content.
- Work with archive and evergreen sports footage to create engaging new content.
- Create recaps, promos and branded sports content for campaigns and commercial partners.
- Edit content for websites, corporate communications and digital screens.
- Develop strong narratives through structure, pacing, sound design and editorial judgement.
- Create motion graphics, captions and other finishing elements using existing brand templates.
- Adapt sports content for different platforms, formats and audiences.
- Manage footage, feedback and delivery across multiple projects.
- Work with internal teams and external production partners throughout the post-production process.
- Use audience insights and performance data to inform and improve future edits.
- Collaborate with creative and communications teams to develop concepts and bring sports stories to life.
