Video Editor

DAZN is seeking a mid-weight Video Editor to join the newly created US arm of Balboa Global, its in-house creative agency. The role's primary remit is to cut high-impact campaign content across NBA, MLB, and NHL. The editor will work across social-first hype edits, campaign hero assets, broadcast promos, sponsorship and brand-partner deliverables, and highlight-driven storytelling.

• Edit campaign and social promo content for NBA, MLB, and NHL teams that features 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, comprising Motion Designers, Designers, and Copywriters, to bring concepts from brief to finished cut.
• Align with global DAZN brand direction and tone of voice 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 and teams with fast turnarounds tied to game schedules, playoffs, trade news, and other real-time sports moments.
• Organise 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.
• Strong reel demonstrating sports or high-energy campaign editing.
• Expert proficiency in Premiere Pro.
• 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 own editorial point of view.
• Strong organisational skills and file management habits (version control, naming conventions, media management).
• Comfortable incorporating new AI and automation tools into workflow to enhance creativity and efficiencies.
• Fluency in each league's storytelling rhythm (NHL pace and physicality, NBA style and swagger, MLB drama and tradition) and ability to translate that into sharp, on-brand edits under tight, game-driven deadlines.

• Experience with sports, entertainment, or live-event content.
• Experience editing for NBA, MLB, NHL, or similar leagues/sports brands.
• Working knowledge of After Effects for basic titling/comp work.

• Access to DAZN
• Up to 15 days of paid time off
• Health benefits (including dental & eye care)
• Sick time package
• Parental leave offering
• Voluntary benefits (such as basic life term, personal accident and short and long-term disability covering)
• 401(k) retirement plan
