• Analyse usage and performance metrics that can lead to content enhancements and improvements
• Effectively manage production timelines to ensure projects are executed on time
• Maintain proficiency and knowledge in the latest trends, technology and best practices for digital video content on YouTube & ESPN owned and operated digital platforms.
• Ensuring edits meet ESPN’s editorial, visual, and brand standards; delivering accurate, well-researched video content.
• Hitting deadlines for daily content and bigger productions effectively and independently.
• Ensuring content is technically optimised for YouTube/web & app best practice (Correct metadata, titles, descriptions, and thumbnails.)
• Being dependable on shoots and during fast-turnaround moments.
• Representing the team professionally in cross-functional meetings.
• Making sound calls when reacting to breaking news or fast-moving sports stories.
• Spotting potential issues (rights, accuracy, tone) and escalating appropriately.

The Experience We Require From You:

• Experience in digital video production & distribution, ideally within sport or entertainment.
• Identifiable experience working on a branded YouTube channel.
• Strong editing skills (Premiere Pro essential; After Effects a bonus).
• Good understanding of YouTube.
• Shooting experience, with confidence to go on solo shoots.
• Strong editorial judgement and attention to detail.
• Ability to work under pressure, manage multiple tasks, and deliver against tight deadlines.
• Passion for sport and awareness of key news cycles, events, and personalities.
