We're hiring a Freelance Social & Digital Video Editor, Podcast to own the creation of all social and digital video clips for a tennis-specific podcast franchise. This role sits at the intersection of podcast production, social storytelling, and platform-native editing-transforming long-form conversations into compelling short-form moments that resonate across platforms.

Collaborate Across Podcast & Social Teams

Partner closely with podcast producers, hosts, and social strategists to understand episode goals and promotional priorities.

Work with the Director of Social to align clip output with broader social strategies, content calendars, and growth goals.

Coordinate with the VP, Executive Producer to ensure editorial quality and creative consistency across episodes.

Support Editorial Planning & Workflow

Manage editing timelines tied to episode drops, tentpoles, and key tennis moments.

Maintain an organized workflow for sourcing footage, versioning clips, and delivering assets on schedule.

Proactively suggest new clip ideas, recurring formats, or visual approaches to evolve the podcast's social presence.

Elevate the Podcast Brand
