Based within the Short-Form Pod, the role receives ongoing long-form project assignments through the Weekly Production Schedule established by the Director of Video Content.

Core Responsibilities
Editing (primary lane)
- Cut short-form vertical videos for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts daily - hit tournament turnaround targets (typically under 60-90 minutes from raw footage to social-ready cut).
- Add captions, sound, and platform-native styling to every short-form cut.
- Apply a higher polish bar where the piece warrants it - branded short-form, tentpole moments, serialized short-form formats.
- Support long-form editing when assigned - original series episodes, IG and FB longer features (3-10 minute range), branded series at the editor level - in partnership with the Long-Form Pod under the Director of Video Content's editorial direction.
- Apply color, audio mixing, and motion-graphics polish on long-form pieces where the format calls for it.
- Maintain a library of reusable short-form assets (player intros, brand bumpers, sound packs, transition templates) in partnership with the Short-Form Pod.
- Bring some producer experience to the Short-Form Pod - take on light concept and production opportunities as a secondary lane to the primary editing scope.
- Pitch new short-form formats to the Short-Form Video Producer Lead - trend-aligned executions, serialized format ideas, recurring template concepts the team could run.
- Help concept and ideate trend-driven and serialized pieces alongside the Short-Form Video Producer Lead and the Social Media Specialist - bring an editor's eye to what will cut well to the format and platform.
- Produce select short-form shoots when capacity allows - own the production side of a piece end-to-end on the smaller, fastest-turn projects, in coordination with the Short-Form Video Producer Lead.
- Contribute on-the-ground capture during select tournament weeks when traveling - phone-first short-form moments, BTS, court-side captures - under the Short-Form Video Producer Lead's direction.
- Operate at the bar the Short-Form Video Producer Lead sets; production work is secondary and should not crowd out editing turnaround.
- Cover tournament short-form editing volume as a primary editor in the Short-Form Pod.
- Step into long-form editing during shoot weeks, original series production windows, and branded series finishing - as directed by the Director of Video Content's Weekly Production Schedule.
- Contribute to the short-form video share of the tournament content package that the Senior Social Media Manager and Director of Video Content jointly develop (with Head of Social final approval).
- Surface short-form performance insights (which cuts performed, which formats are tired, what to test next) to the Short-Form Video Producer Lead and the Director of Video Content.
- Track personal turnaround times and publish-cadence contribution against the Short-Form Pod's weekly targets.
- Stay current on short-form platform mechanics - TikTok edit timing, Reels native feature releases, Shorts retention norms - and apply learnings to the cut.
- Contribute short-form edit ideas to the Weekly Trending Content Meeting (chaired by the Senior Social Media Manager) when the team is shaping a trend response.
- Maintain comfort with long-form pacing and narrative-edit conventions to keep long-form support a real capability, not a stretch.
- Partner daily with the Short-Form Video Producer Lead on the Short-Form Pod cut-and-publish cycle.
- Partner with the Long-Form Pod on long-form support weeks - pre-pro briefings, dailies feedback, finish review - rather than receiving a cold hand-off.
- Partner with the on-shift coordinator on publish-window timing for short-form cuts going up under coordinator guardrails.
- Partner with the Social Graphics Content Specialist on graphics packages (titles, lower-thirds, end cards) that pair with short-form and long-form cuts.
- Partner with the Social Media Specialist on UGC and trend-aligned executions when the Short-Form Pod is shaping a trend response.
- Handle community management on cuts published under your name when the format calls for it - first-hour comments and meaningful replies; escalate brand-tone or rights questions to the Senior Social Media Manager.
- Short-form cut turnaround time during tournaments (target: under 60-90 minutes from raw footage to social-ready cut).
- Short-form output volume per tournament week and per non-tournament week.
- Engagement rate on short-form cuts produced.
- Long-form support contribution: weeks per quarter providing long-form capacity, and quality of those finished pieces (qualitative review).
- Concept and production contribution: short-form format pitches brought to the Short-Form Video Producer Lead per quarter and pitches that get greenlit and shipped.
- Quality bar across short-form output (qualitative review by Director of Video Content and Short-Form Video Producer Lead).
- Reusable short-form asset library maintained and refreshed quarterly.
- Trend response time partnership metric with the Short-Form Video Producer Lead and the Social Media Specialist (target: trend to published under 24 hours, often under 6 hours during active tournaments).
- 3-5 years editing short-form vertical video, with documented long-form or branded video experience as well.
- Some producer or production experience preferred - ideation, shoot coordination, on-the-ground capture for short-form.
- Hands-on fluency with Premiere Pro and CapCut Pro at minimum; After Effects or DaVinci Resolve a plus for long-form support.
- Strong sense of timing for short-form, captions, and trend-aligned edits.
- Narrative and pacing capability for longer-form cuts when the work calls for it.
- Color and audio-mixing competence for finished long-form pieces.
- Comfort being on-the-ground at tournaments for select weeks if traveling.
- Comfort moving between high-volume short-form turnaround weeks and slower, higher-polish long-form weeks.
- Sports, live event, or news editing experience preferred.
The base salary compensation for this role is $70,300 to $80,600.00. Final compensation for this role will be determined by various factors such as a candidates' relevant work experience, skills, certifications, and geographic location. Full time positions are eligible for benefits that include participation in a retirement plan, life and disability insurance, health, dental and vision plans, flexible spending accounts, sick leave, vacation time, personal time, parental leave and employee stock purchase plan.
