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
Bonus if you understand football, but not essential

This Is NOT For You If you Have never edited sports content before, or are a beginner editor.


HOW TO APPLY:

Send portfolio examples of:

  • Sports storytelling content
  • Cinematic sports montages with strong audio design

Confirm:

  • You are comfortable organising large amounts of raw footage before proceeding with editing
  • You meet our budget and scope
Applications without relevant sports work will not be considered.

Summary


  • 4 videos total - $28.75 / video
  • $115 total
  • 2 videos / 90-120s duration
  • 2 videos / 25- 45s duration


Long-term work possible if you're keen - we currently have 4 full-time editors earning $1500 / month inside of our Content Agency, Simplescale.

Thank you, we look forward to hearing from you

Contract duration of 1 to 3 months.
