About The Position

Backyard Breaks is looking for a Videographer & Content Editor to join their Fort Lauderdale studio. This role involves working closely with an on-air personality to capture spontaneous moments throughout the day and transform them into engaging, short-form content for social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. The position requires being actively involved where the content is happening, including around the studio, behind the scenes, during live shows, and in conversations, rather than solely editing pre-submitted footage. The goal is to identify and capture unique moments, turning them into content that reflects the Backyard brand.

Requirements

• See content everywhere; notice the funny reaction, unexpected conversation, ridiculous moment, or perfect one-liner before somebody has to tell you it’s worth filming.
• Know how to tell a story; turn footage into something with a beginning, build, and payoff.
• Understand short-form content, including hooks, pacing, captions, cuts, sound, timing, and retention.
• Proficiency in shooting and editing; comfortable behind the camera and editing footage into a finished piece.
• Ability to move fast and understand the time-sensitive nature of relevant content.
• Possess creative instincts and not require a daily shot list.
• Ability to follow talent without making moments feel staged or overproduced.
• Have personality, chemistry, communication skills, adaptability, and a sense of humor for close collaboration with talent.
• Love sports and understand the players, storylines, debates, moments, and cultural conversations fans care about.
• Highly comfortable with professional editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut or similar short-form editing tools.
• Genuinely follow sports and understand the conversations happening around them.
• Ability to create structure without needing structure handed to them.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with After Effects, motion graphics, color work, audio editing, photography, or additional production tools.
• Knowledge of sports cards, breaking, collecting, hobby culture, Whatnot, Fanatics, or the larger collectibles world.

Responsibilities

• Work alongside one of Backyard’s primary hosts to capture content throughout the day
• Film behind-the-scenes moments, conversations, reactions, challenges, sports takes, studio life, and whatever else the day gives you
• Turn raw footage into polished short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms
• Find the story inside everyday moments, not just point a camera at them
• Build strong hooks, pacing, tension, humor, and payoff into your edits
• Capture clean, creative footage without slowing down what’s happening around you
• Identify spontaneous content opportunities and be ready to shoot when they happen
• Pitch ideas, formats, recurring bits, and concepts that fit the personality you’re filming
• Stay plugged into sports, internet culture, trending formats, memes, sounds, and conversations
• Edit quickly enough to take advantage of moments while they’re still relevant
• Collaborate with the broader content team while taking real ownership of the content you create

Benefits

• Health, Dental & Vision Insurance: Employer-sponsored coverage available.
• Paid Time Off: PTO and additional company benefits.
