Football Video Editor for Global Audiences

Job Position(s): Football Video Editor for Global Audiences

Manchester United is hiring a Football Video Editor to join their Content and Production team in Manchester, England. This is a post-production role sitting within a broadcast and digital media department, with output spanning a dedicated television channel, streaming platforms, and social-first formats. Editors with a background in sports content production, particularly those comfortable cutting across both long-form broadcast edits and short-form social delivery, will find this role a natural fit.

About the Role

The Football Video Editor works inside a structured production unit that services MUTV, YouTube, the Official Manchester United App, and the club’s social channels, reporting directly to the Production Manager. The content slate covers matchday features, player interviews, behind-the-scenes packages, and podcast video production, meaning the post-production workflow shifts frequently between formats and turnaround times. A typical day might move from finishing a social-first edit on a training session to cutting a longer editorial piece for broadcast delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit matchday feature packages for broadcast delivery on MUTV, maintaining pacing and tone appropriate for a global football audience.
• Cut social-first video edits optimised for platform-specific formats including vertical video, short-form clips, and thumbnail-driven YouTube content.
• Work directly with producers and camera operators throughout the post-production workflow to ensure edits meet both editorial and technical delivery requirements.
• Collaborate with motion graphics designers to integrate visual assets and on-screen text into finished edits across broadcast and digital outputs.
• Support podcast video production, handling multi-camera sync, audio alignment, and export for digital distribution.
• Contribute to audience growth initiatives by adapting existing content into platform-native formats across Manchester United’s owned and operated channels.

What You Bring

• Demonstrable experience editing sports or broadcast television content, with a reel showing both long-form and short-form editorial work.
• Proficiency in industry-standard non-linear editing software, with Adobe Premiere Pro or Avid Media Composer expected at this level.
• Familiarity with social media content production workflows, including format delivery specs for YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously within a broadcast post-production environment under tight turnaround schedules.
• Strong understanding of audio mixing at an editorial level, sufficient for delivering broadcast-ready and digital-ready cuts without a dedicated sound post stage.

Why This Role

Manchester United operates one of the most-watched sports media operations in the world, with MUTV reaching subscribers across dozens of territories and digital channels drawing hundreds of millions of annual views. For an editor working in sports content production, the scale of the audience and the volume of content output here is genuinely uncommon at a single club. The variety of formats and platforms means this Football Video Editor role builds a broad post-production credit across broadcast, streaming, and social simultaneously.
