• 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.

• Strong editing skills (Premiere Pro essential; After Effects a bonus).
