Midweight Content Editor

Specification

Role – Midweight Content Editor

Location – London, Hybrid

Department – Post-Production

Employment Type – Full Time

The Role

We're looking for a culturally connected Midweight Editor to join a fast-moving creative team producing premium social-first sports content. The role is edit-led, with shooting capability considered an advantage but not essential.

You'll help craft high-performing content across social platforms — working across athlete storytelling, brand campaigns, reactive content and platform-native formats. You should have a sharp understanding of modern sports media, strong editorial instincts, and a genuine obsession with digital culture, pacing and storytelling.

This is an opportunity for someone looking to grow within a high-performance creative environment while working alongside senior editors and creatives on ambitious sports-focused projects. Alongside editing, you'll support the wider post-production process — helping senior editors prepare projects, organise footage, manage selects and keep workflows running efficiently. You may also have opportunities to shoot content where required, from live sport and athlete features to behind-the-scenes and branded productions.

Responsibilities

  • Edit premium social-first sports content across multiple platforms

  • Create dynamic short-form edits with strong pacing, rhythm and storytelling

  • Design and integrate motion graphics, typography, captions and animations

  • Support Senior Editors with project preparation, media management and selects

  • Organise footage, prep timelines and maintain clean post-production workflows

  • Export and deliver assets in platform-specific formats

  • Collaborate with creatives, producers and social teams from concept through delivery

  • Stay ahead of platform trends, editing styles and evolving audience behaviours

Required Experience & Skills

  • Strong understanding and experience of elevated social content and platform-native storytelling

  • Excellent knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and AI platforms

  • Ability to create polished graphics and motion elements

  • Passion for bringing in new techniques and styles, including AI in the workflow where possible

  • Strong organisational skills and file management discipline — agency experience a bonus

  • Comfortable working across multiple fast-turnaround projects

  • Collaborative mindset with the ability to both lead and support where needed

  • Strong awareness of sport, athletes and contemporary sports culture

Desirable (Not Essential)

  • Videography / shooting experience

  • Experience shooting on Sony FX-series or similar cinema/mirrorless systems

  • Knowledge of lighting, audio and production workflows

  • Experience working within sports, entertainment or creative agencies

  • Familiarity with DaVinci Resolve and colour workflows

Who You Are

  • Creatively ambitious with strong attention to detail

  • Editorially sharp with excellent visual taste

  • Calm under pressure and comfortable in fast-paced environments

  • Proactive, reliable and highly organised

  • Passionate about sport, culture and digital storytelling

  • Eager to learn from and collaborate with senior creatives

Working with Fresh Base

Benefits

  • Hybrid working model (typically 4 days remote, 1 day on set / London office)

  • Opportunities for UK and international travel and on-site edit work at shoots

  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, closed over Christmas

  • Access to major sporting events and activations

  • Collaborative, fun and passionate team culture
