Job requirements 📋
What you’re excellent at:
- Creating short-form content specifically for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
- Editing vertical video, ideally with CapCut and/or Adobe Premiere Pro
- Spotting trends, formats, sounds and creators – and turning them into relevant ideas for our clients
- Translating briefs into concrete content plans and clear deliverables
- Working within brand guidelines while still pushing creative boundaries
- Managing multiple projects and deadlines in parallel
- Collaborating with others and giving/receiving feedback constructively
- Communicating clearly in English, both spoken and written
The role is for you, if:

- You have experience in the sports industry, with strong knowledge of the football world
- You’re comfortable working with international colleagues and clients across time zones
- You’re organised, detail‑oriented and able to structure your work around briefs and timelines
- You bring a collective mindset – you care about the team result, not just your own edits
- You’re curious about performance, reporting and optimisation, not just the “cool” cut
Job Responsibilities ✅
You will be part of our social teams, owning the production of short-form video content for multiple sports clients, with a strong focus on football. From concept to final export, you’ll help transform raw footage into scroll‑stopping clips that spark conversation, build communities and drive performance.

- Build and maintain content plans in collaboration with account and social teams, aligning with client expectations and campaign goals
- Ensure all productions are validated internally (creative, account, client guidelines) before delivery
- Monitor trends and best practices on each platform and share inspiration and opportunities with the wider team
- Support publishing and moderation on client channels where needed
- Participate in filling out content calendars and basic performance reports
- Assist in preparing reports and optimisation recommendations, using insights to refine creative and formats over time
What we offer 🔎
- Hybrid working environment (remote-friendly within Europe/UK, with opportunities to meet the team in person)
- Work on top‑tier sports properties and brands across multiple markets
- Join an international, decentralised team of sports‑obsessed creatives and social experts
- Learning and development opportunities around editing, creative strategy and platform innovation
- A culture that values autonomy, collaboration and continuous improvement
