From the employer

DAZN is looking for a mid-weight Video Editor to join our newly created US arm of Balboa Global, our in-house creative agency. The role’s primary remit is to cut high-impact campaign content across NBA, MLB, and NHL. You'll work across social-first hype edits, campaign hero assets, broadcast promos, sponsorship and brand-partner deliverables, and highlight-driven storytelling — shaping raw game footage, league feeds, and shoot footage into fast-paced, emotionally-charged content built for how fans watch sports today.

This role calls for someone fluent in each league's storytelling rhythm — the pace and physicality of NHL, the style and swagger of NBA, the drama and tradition of MLB — and able to translate that into sharp, on-brand edits under tight, game-driven deadlines.

Edit campaign and social promo content of NBA, MLB, and NHL teams that feature across DAZN US, including paid marketing video assets, hype reels, social cutdowns, digital ads, and broadcast-adjacent promos
Cut from raw game footage, league-supplied feeds, B-roll, and original shoot footage to build compelling sports narratives
Build assets to platform-specific specs (DAZN wholly-owned inventory, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, CTV, stadium/jumbotron) with attention to pacing, hooks, and sound design
Collaborate closely with the local creative team, comprised of Motion Designers, Designers, and Copywriters to bring concepts from brief to finished cut.
Align with global DAZN brand direction and TOV and collaborate with global Balboa leadership.
Sync and integrate motion graphics, titles, lower thirds, and stat overlays delivered by the design team
Manage multiple concurrent edits across leagues/teams with fast turnarounds tied to game schedules, playoffs, trade news, and other real-time sports moments
Organize and manage footage libraries, project files, and version control across concurrent live projects
Ensure all edits comply with league, team, and player-likeness usage guidelines and DAZN brand standards
Support pitch and pre-sale decks with polished sizzle edits when needed

3–5 years — of professional video editing experience, ideally with sports, entertainment, or live-event content
Strong reel demonstrating sports or high-energy campaign editing (NBA, MLB, NHL, or similar leagues/sports brands strongly preferred)
Expert proficiency in Premiere Pro — (required); working knowledge of After Effects for basic titling/comp work a plus
Strong sense of pacing, rhythm, and story structure, with an ear for music and sound design
Experience working with sports footage, broadcast feeds, stat graphics, and archival/league content
Ability to juggle multiple fast-turnaround edits tied to live sports calendars (game days, playoffs, trade deadlines, etc.)
Comfort taking direction from Art Directors/Creative Directors while bringing your own editorial point of view
Strong organizational skills and file management habits (version control, naming conventions, media management)
Comfortable at incorporating new AI and automation tools into your workflow to enhance creativity and efficiencies.
