Job Summary

Own the end-to-end production of long-form and serialized YouTube content for Tennis Channel, shaping strategy, overseeing shoots and edits, and ensuring brand and on-site execution.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Partner with the Head of Social and the social video leads to shape and execute video strategy toward the team's shared goals, with a particular focus on long-form content and YouTube channel strategy.
  • Concept and pitch long-form and serialized video ideas and formats for YouTube, and help build out the plans to ship them.
  • Produce content start to finish — concept, shoot/direct shoots, and edit hands-on when needed.
  • Direct and collaborate with post producers/editors on longer or higher-lift projects — set creative direction, give cut feedback, and see projects through to finish.
  • Build and manage timelines — post-production schedules and on-site content/shoot plans — to keep projects and deliverables on track.
  • Cover live tournament action, reactive/trend-driven content, and other short-form needs as they come up alongside long-form priorities.
  • Bring recommendations on YouTube performance and long-form content opportunities to the Head of Social and video leads.
  • Maintain Tennis Channel's brand voice and visual quality bar across every deliverable.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in video production, including experience concepting and producing long-form or serialized content.
  • A track record contributing to YouTube channel strategy and growth, not just producing video for it.
  • Experience directing and collaborating with post producers/editors — comfortable giving creative direction and cut feedback, not only cutting everything yourself.
  • Project management experience — able to build and own timelines, post-production schedules, and on-site content plans, and keep multiple projects moving at once.
  • Strong hands-on shooting and editing skills (Adobe Premiere Pro) to jump into edits when needed.
  • Comfortable working on-site at live tennis events, capturing courtside and behind-the-scenes footage.
  • Sports or live-event production experience a plus.
