Responsibilities

• Shortform video editing: Edit fast-paced, scroll-stopping shortform videos (Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts) from raw youth sports footage, including highlights, day-in-the-life clips, and athlete features, turning around 60-90 second cuts within 24-48 hours of receiving footage.
• Platform-optimized editing: Work in CapCut and/or Premiere Pro to add dynamic captions, trending audio, motion graphics, and pacing techniques optimized for Instagram and TikTok algorithms and youth sports audiences.
• Team collaboration: Collaborate with the social media team via Iconik and Slack to pull footage, follow content calendars, and hit weekly posting quotas across multiple sports programs (basketball, baseball, volleyball, flag football).
• Brand consistency: Maintain brand consistency, including our visual style, music licensing compliance, and on-brand graphics and lower thirds, while adapting tone for different platforms and audience segments.
• Trend awareness: Stay current on shortform trends, sounds, and editing styles to proactively suggest formats that drive engagement and follower growth.

Requirements

• Shortform editing experience: 3+ years of experience editing shortform video for social platforms, including hands-on work in CapCut and/or Premiere Pro with captions, audio, and motion graphics.
• Comfort with quick turnarounds: This role requires a steady output of finished videos, including 60-90 second cuts delivered within 24-48 hours of receiving footage. Candidates should be comfortable with the deadline and quota side of the role.
• Strong collaboration orientation: Ability to communicate clearly and responsively with the social media team, particularly when deadlines are tight or footage arrives close to a posting date.
• Attention to detail: Consistent, accurate execution across captions, graphics, and music licensing compliance. The role requires someone who can be trusted to keep every cut on brand without exception.
• Remote-ready: This is a remote role. Candidates should have a dependable setup for editing and delivering video from wherever they work.
• AI forward: We use AI tools daily to streamline communications, automate repetitive tasks, and speed up our workflows. Familiarity with tools such as Perplexity Computer is a plus.
