Video Editor - Sports & Hobby Content
Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL | Full-Time | In-Person | Monday-Friday

Backyard Breaks is hiring a Video Editor to shape the short-form content that brings the energy, personality, and excitement of the sports card and collectibles world to life. In this role, you'll be the person turning raw footage into the scroll-stopping content our audience loves, cutting big pulls, athlete moments, behind-the-scenes stories, and brand campaigns into the kind of content that travels. Your edits fuel our social channels, brand storytelling, and the deeper connection our audience has with the hobby.

This is a hands-on craft role for someone who lives in the timeline, understands what makes sports and hobby content go viral, and can turn raw footage into a fifteen-second hook that lands.

What You'll Do
Edit short-form video content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, including promotional pieces, event recaps, and branded campaigns
Cut footage with a sharp eye for pacing, hook-first composition, and platform-specific performance
Optimize content for vertical framing, captions, sound design, and platform specs
Apply motion graphics, text animation, transitions, and visual effects to elevate every cut
Color correct and audio mix to a high standard before delivery
Organize, label, and manage media files and project assets using clean, consistent workflows
Collaborate with our marketing team, streamers, and on-air talent to align edits with brand voice and content goals
Monitor content performance and apply insights to sharpen future edits
Step in to support shooting and on-camera capture when the team needs an extra set of hands
Contribute ideas in brainstorms, including hooks, angles, series concepts, and visual treatments
Stay ahead of trends in sports culture, the hobby, and short-form content to keep Backyard Breaks at the front of the conversation
What We're Looking For

2+ years of professional video editing experience
Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (Photoshop and Illustrator a plus)
Proven ability to edit short-form, scroll-stopping content tailored to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
Sharp instincts for pacing, hook construction, and what makes content perform on each platform
Strong eye for color, sound design, and visual polish
Comfortable working with both structured/planned footage and fast-moving, unscripted material
Strong storytelling instincts that capture the emotional connection between fans and the hobby
Reliable, organized, and able to manage your own edit queue and deliverables
Working knowledge of camera fundamentals and comfortable supporting shoots when needed
Bonus Points If You

Follow the sports card hobby, breaking scene, or sports culture in general
Have edited content for live events, sports, or high-energy environments
Have edited content that's gone viral or worked with creators/brands that have
Have motion graphics or animation experience beyond the basics
Bring shooting experience and can comfortably operate cameras (Sony mirrorless a plus), gimbals, or lighting/audio gear
What You'll Get

Compensation: $55,000 per year based on experience, with room to grow
Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance: Employer-sponsored coverage at a subsidized rate
Physical Requirements

Ability to sit and work at an editing station for extended periods
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs (camera bags, lighting kits, grip gear) when supporting shoots
Ability to stand, walk, and operate handheld equipment for extended periods on shoot days
Comfortable working in an active warehouse/studio environment
Ability to travel occasionally for shoots, events, and on-location work
