It suits an experienced post-production editor with a genuine sports portfolio who is comfortable owning a full editorial pipeline under seasonal deadlines.

About the Role

The Lead Video Editor works inside the Avalanche Agency’s content team, reporting to the Sr. Director of Video Content and Production, and directly manages a Sr. Video Editor.

• Handle full audio post-production workflow, including dialogue cleanup, ambient sound, music placement, and licensing compliance.
• Maintain an organized media library with consistent metadata, ensuring project files and backups are retrievable across a large seasonal archive.
• Manage the Sr. Video Editor, providing creative direction and production support across concurrent projects throughout the hockey season.

What You Bring

• A strong sports video editing portfolio covering highlights, promos, features, or documentary-style work at a professional level.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, with solid motion graphics capabilities.
• Hands-on experience with color correction and grading for both web and broadcast delivery.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously across a live-event sports content calendar, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
• Previous experience supervising or mentoring editorial staff in a sports media or broadcast production environment.
