Video Editor — YouTube (Volleyverse)
Location: Manchester / London
Line Manager: Senior Content Manager
As a YouTube-focused Video Editor at Volleyverse, you’ll take ownership of how our sports stories perform. You’ll craft high-momentum edits with strong hooks in the first few seconds, re-hook at drop-off points, and ensure clean audio and consistent colour grading throughout.
Working in a fast, high-volume workflow, you’ll repurpose long-form content into platform-native short-form, and proactively drive new stories and formats. Using both your technical and story-telling expertise, you’ll help deliver reliable, audience-first content that turns viewership into lasting community. This is a great opportunity for an aspiring editor with sharp instincts to own real work from day one and grow a long-term career in sports and digital media.
