Midweight Social Video Editor & Designer

Your tasks

You'll create engaging video, graphics and motion content for a range of sports brands, campaigns, athletes and major sporting events. This is a hands-on creative role for someone who enjoys taking projects from brief to delivery, has a strong eye for detail and understands what makes content work on social media.

Around 70% of your time will be spent editing video, with the remaining 30% focused on graphic design. You'll work closely with a creative team to produce polished, engaging content that connects with audiences and brings sporting stories to life.

• Edit short-form social media videos using footage, imagery, sound and text.
• Design social graphics, carousels and other digital content.
• Create simple animations and motion graphics.
• Adapt campaign assets for different platforms and formats.
• Interpret creative briefs and produce high-quality content in line with brand guidelines.
• Manage your workload and deliver projects to agreed deadlines.
• Collaborate with the wider creative team, incorporating feedback and refining your work.
• Keep up to date with social media trends, formats and creative techniques.

If you love sport, care about creative quality and want to produce engaging social content, we'd love to see your work.
