Your mission

We're looking for a YouTube Specialist / Video Editor who understands that editing is more than assembling clips, it's about crafting stories that keep our existing and target audiences engaged. If you're passionate about storytelling in sports, obsessed with YouTube, and know what makes fans click and keep watching, we'd love to hear from you.

This is not a traditional editing role. We're looking for someone who understands the platform, follows industry trends, and can help elevate EuroLeague's content strategy.

Note: This is not a videographer/shooter role for games. It’s a bonus but not what defines this role.

• Edit short, mid and long‑form YouTube content, including documentaries, features, player stories, behind‑the‑scenes content, interviews, mic‑dup content, and original series.

• Collaborate with producers, social media managers, videographers, and creative leads from concept to delivery.
• Optimize videos for YouTube audiences through strong intros, pacing, retention‑focused editing, and effective visual storytelling.
• Contribute ideas for new YouTube formats and recurring series.
• Edit content around major competitions, including the EuroLeague season, Playoffs, and Final Four.
• Incorporate graphics, music, sound design, subtitles, and motion elements to enhance storytelling.
• Manage multiple editing projects while maintaining high production standards and meeting deadlines.
