Are you a huge fan of women's football, a talented camera operator and an accomplished editor? Then this could be for you!
About the role: Chelsea FC's video department is growing fast. We are producing more original, partner and matchday content than ever before, and CFCW (Chelsea FC Women) are at the heart of it. We are building a pool of talented freelance videographers, with a love for the women's game, to support CFCW across matchdays and beyond. As part of the pool, you will be called on to shoot and edit content for our social channels and longer-form productions, working closely with our producers and editors. Bookings will be offered on a day rate basis for match days and other shoots, on an ad hoc basis.
What you'll do:
- Capture live football, including goals, celebrations, player reactions, warm-ups, arrivals and behind-the-scenes content.
- Edit reactive matchday content to tight deadlines, including goals, celebrations, interviews and social-first edits.
- Deliver edits in multiple formats: 9x16, 4x5 and 16x9.
- Find and capture moments beyond the obvious match action, such as player personalities, interactions and emotional beats that feed into our longer-form content.
- Record clean, broadcast-ready audio alongside your footage.
- Manage footage professionally, including file naming, ingest and clear handovers to other editors.
- Follow production briefs and stay in close contact with producers, adjusting priorities as the match and result unfold.
What we're looking for:
- Strong filming skills - You are confident capturing live football and fast-moving, unscripted action.
- Fast-turnaround editing - You are comfortable cutting reactive content under pressure, with a good eye for social-first storytelling across multiple aspect ratios.
- Creative storytelling - You have an instinct for the human side of the game and can spot the small moments that make fans feel closer to the team.
- Technical and organisational strength - You are confident with professional camera equipment (Sony FX6, FX5, FX3), audio recording and Adobe Premiere Pro, and you keep your media organized and easy for others to pick up.
- Reliable and adaptable on matchdays - You work well independently in a fast-paced football environment, communicate clearly, and stay calm when plans change.
Nice to have:
- Experience shooting sport, ideally football, possibly in the WSL.
- Experience producing behind-the-scenes or documentary-style content.
- You have your own kit - please include a list if you do.
- Full UK Driving License.
