Descrizione del lavoro

Eight Sleep, the sleep fitness company, is seeking a Video Editor to own athlete storytelling from rushes to final cut. You’ll work across reactive social content and cinematic athlete films, leveraging access to world-class athletes and events.

You excel at turning raw footage into emotionally compelling stories, with a reel showing range across social-native to long-form formats. Based in Milan, you should be comfortable traveling across Europe for shoots, with strong editing craft in DaVinci

Competenze

• Three to five years of experience in sports, brand, or editorial video content, with a portfolio that demonstrates both conceptual thinking and editing craft in equal measure
• A reel that shows range: social-native content and longer-form storytelling, reactive shooting and planned production, fast turnarounds and considered finishes
• Genuinely sports-literate : you follow the races, the athletes, the moments. You understand what makes a sports story resonate because you care about the sport itself, not just the aesthetic
• Video-first in how you think : you instinctively frame ideas as moving image, not stills or copy
• Socially fluent without being socially limited : you know what performs on platform, but you don't let that become a ceiling on your creative ambition
• Fast without being careless. You can turn a same-day edit when the moment calls for it, and slow down for craft when the project deserves it
• Autonomous and self-directed : able to take a brief, disappear into the footage, and come back with something nobody asked for but everyone needed
• Based in Milan or genuinely open to it; comfortable travelling to races, shoots, and events across Europe

Mansioni

• Edit video content across the full spectrum of Eight Sleep's global output: social content, athlete films, partnership activations, event coverage
• Work across DaVinci or Premiere Pro and After Effects with genuine proficiency
• Handle colour, sound, and motion with enough craft knowledge to make independent decisions at the edit stage
• Deliver to platform-specific requirements without losing creative intent in the process

Join the Sleep Fitness Movement

At Eight Sleep, we're on a mission to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. As the world's first sleep fitness company, we're redefining what it means to be well-rested and building the most advanced hardware, software, and AI technology to make it possible. Our products power peak mental, physical, and emotional performance by transforming every night of sleep into a personalized, data-driven recovery experience.

Every role at Eight Sleep is a chance to create cutting-edge technology, collaborate with world-class talent, and help shape a future where sleep isn't passive, it's a powerful tool for living better. If you're tired of the ordinary and driven to build at the edge of what's possible, this is your moment.

High Standards. No Apologies.

We operate with intensity because our mission demands it. At Eight Sleep, we bring the same mindset as the world's top performers: focused, relentless, and always pushing to be in the top 1% of our craft. This isn't a 9-to-5. Our team is deeply committed, often putting in the extra effort, not because we're told to, but because we're invested in building something category-defining.

The Role

We're looking for a Video Editor to own Eight Sleep's athlete storytelling end to end, from finding the story inside the footage to delivering the final cut. You'll work across everything from reactive same-day social to cinematic athlete films.

Some of the world's best athletes sleep on Eight Sleep: Formula 1 pilots, Tour de France cyclists, Ironman champions, Ballerinas, Roland Garros finalists. We have access to these people, their environments, and their stories in ways most brands never will.

The challenge, and the opportunity, is knowing what to do with that access.

This role exists for someone who watches hours of athlete rushes and sees a story nobody else noticed. Who walks into a training session and immediately knows the three shots that will make the edit. Who can turn raw, unplanned footage into something people stop scrolling for, and then turn around and make something considered and cinematic for the same subject matter.

Role Requirements

Concept & Art Direction

• Develop content concepts for sports and athlete storytelling across formats : from short-form social to longer editorial pieces
• Identify the story within existing footage : rushes, BTS material, event coverage, athlete access, and shape it into something worth watching
• Contribute to pre-production planning when shoots are happening: propose shots, sequences, formats, and creative approaches before the camera rolls
• Think natively across formats and lengths : a 15-second Instagram cut and a 3-minute cinematic piece are different disciplines; you're fluent in both
• Understands how to work within the world of YouTube

Editing & Post-Production

• Edit video content across the full spectrum of Eight Sleep's global output : social content, athlete films, partnership activations, event coverage
• Work across DaVinci or Premiere Pro and After Effects with genuine proficiency
• Handle colour, sound, and motion with enough craft knowledge to make independent decisions at the edit stage
• Deliver to platform-specific requirements without losing creative intent in the process

Production Versatility

• Comfortable working with any type of footage : iPhone on a race day, RED or ARRI on a Dreams shoot, GoPro on a Tour de France stage
• Able to operate across the full production spectrum: fast, reactive, run-and-gun shooting alongside high-end planned productions
• Understand the relationship between what gets captured on the day and what becomes possible in the edit, and make smart decisions accordingly

Qualities & Characteristics

• Three to five years of experience in sports, brand, or editorial video content, with a portfolio that demonstrates both conceptual thinking and editing craft in equal measure
• A reel that shows range: social-native content and longer-form storytelling, reactive shooting and planned production, fast turnarounds and considered finishes
• Genuinely sports-literate : you follow the races, the athletes, the moments. You understand what makes a sports story resonate because you care about the sport itself, not just the aesthetic
• Video-first in how you think : you instinctively frame ideas as moving image, not stills or copy
• Socially fluent without being socially limited : you know what performs on platform, but you don't let that become a ceiling on your creative ambition
• Fast without being careless. You can turn a same-day edit when the moment calls for it, and slow down for craft when the project deserves it
• Autonomous and self-directed : able to take a brief, disappear into the footage, and come back with something nobody asked for but everyone needed
• Based in Milan or genuinely open to it; comfortable travelling to races, shoots, and events across Europe

Compensation & Benefits

Every role at Eight Sleep includes competitive compensation and benefits. Final compensation will depend on experience, location, and level.

Benefits may include:

• Competitive salary and equity
• Flexible PTO
• Paid parental leave
• Team off-sites and company events
• Employee discount on Eight Sleep products
• Opportunity to work with a world-class team building category-defining technology
