Video Editor

SBS Technology is hiring a Video Editor based in Artarmon, Sydney, New South Wales. This role sits within the Technology, Operations, and Services unit, where you will cut daily news and current affairs content for broadcast television, digital, and social platforms. It suits a mid-weight editor with solid broadcast news credits who can own a story from brief through to delivery.

About the Role

The Video Editing Operations team supports production across World News, Current Affairs, NITV, Sport, and General Entertainment, giving this editor a varied slate rather than a single-format grind. Day to day, you will work directly alongside journalists and producers, shaping packages and multi-cam productions to air-ready standard under broadcast deadlines. The role is on-site on a rotating roster that includes weekends and late shifts, which is standard for a live news post-production workflow.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit news and current affairs packages independently, structuring stories, refining interview grabs, and selecting supporting footage to broadcast deadline.
• Cut multi-cam productions including synchronising and grouping footage, selecting camera angles, and maintaining continuity and pacing across the edit.
• Manage organised project workflows in Adobe Premiere Pro, covering media management and technical delivery to broadcast specifications.
• Handle audio balancing, dialogue levels, music, and atmos mix within the edit to meet on-air technical requirements.
• Apply colour correction and prepare final deliverables across television, digital, and social formats.
• Create or adapt basic motion graphics in After Effects, including lower thirds, titles, and simple animations using established SBS branding.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated professional editing experience in television broadcast news and current affairs, with the credits to show it.
• Strong working proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, including project organisation and media management at a production scale.
• Practical experience cutting multi-cam productions with an understanding of pacing, angle selection, and continuity.
• Working knowledge of After Effects for motion graphics, and Photoshop for content adapted to digital and social formats.
• A clear understanding of typography, visual hierarchy, and consistent branding as applied to broadcast graphics.
