Video Editor
About The Position
DAZN is looking for a mid-weight Video Editor to join our newly created US arm of Balboa Global, our in-house creative agency. The role’s primary remit is to cut high-impact campaign content across NBA, MLB, and NHL. You'll work across social-first hype edits, campaign hero assets, broadcast promos, sponsorship and brand-partner deliverables, and highlight-driven storytelling — shaping raw game footage, league feeds, and shoot footage into fast-paced, emotionally-charged content built for how fans watch sports today. This role calls for someone fluent in each league's storytelling rhythm — the pace and physicality of NHL, the style and swagger of NBA, the drama and tradition of MLB — and able to translate that into sharp, on-brand edits under tight, game-driven deadlines.

- Experience working with sports footage, broadcast feeds, stat graphics, and archival/league content

- Comfortable at incorporating new AI and automation tools into your workflow to enhance creativity and efficiencies.

- Collaborate closely with the local creative team, comprised of Motion Designers, Designers, and Copywriters to bring concepts from brief to finished cut.
- Align with global DAZN brand direction and TOV and collaborate with global Balboa leadership.
- Sync and integrate motion graphics, titles, lower thirds, and stat overlays delivered by the design team
- Manage multiple concurrent edits across leagues/teams with fast turnarounds tied to game schedules, playoffs, trade news, and other real-time sports moments
