1 day ago

Job description
Elite Sports Video Editor Needed – Documentary + Cinematic Match Montage (Youth Football Event)We're looking for a high-level sports editor to turn a professionally filmed football event into 4 powerful portrait videos.
If you specialize in cinematic sports storytelling and understand emotion, storytelling and audio design — and hate generic, low-energy, boring montages — you'll LOVE working on this
EVENT CONTEXT
This was a London vs Midlands (UK) youth football event (U8–U11)
*for sports fans - the biggest youth tournament of 2026*3 camera angles per match
Full sideline / BTS / interview footage
Everything was filmed with structure and intention.
DELIVERABLES
4 Videos Total (Portrait / 9:16)
Content Type A – Documentary Series (2 Videos)
Video 1 = Round 1 Matches
Video 2 = Round 2 Matches
These are NOT highlight montages.
These ARE mini sports documentaries.
(i.e 75–80% Sideline / BTS / Interview footage, 20–25% Match footage)
Full Style Direction & Brief Provided upon hiring.
Estimated length: 90–120 seconds (flexible once footage organized)
Important note:
Footage must be organized chronologically (A–Z sort) before editing begins - this is included as a deliverable.
Pre-production structure must be respected.
Nothing important can be missed.
Content Type B – Cinematic Montage (2 Videos)
These should feel like a professional youth football event trailer — not a social media highlight reel.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Proven and experienced sports editor (non-negotiable)
- Exceptional emotional storytelling skills through visuals + audio
- Advanced in audio layering & sound design
- Comfortable organising large amounts of footage
This Is NOT For You If you Have never edited sports content before, or are a beginner editor.

- You are comfortable organising large amounts of raw footage before proceeding with editing
- You meet our budget and scope
Summary
