About Sportsman’s Guide

Sportsman’s Guide is building a modern content engine focused on seasonal storytelling, contributor-driven content, social formats, and creator partnerships across hunting, military surplus, camping, fishing, and outdoor lifestyle categories.

We are currently seeking a freelance Video Editor / Production Lead to partner with us on an initial military surplus content initiative, with potential for an ongoing or expanded role.

Initial Project: “Repurpose This Surplus”

Military surplus bags are endlessly functional, but difficult to sell through traditional product marketing alone.

Our “Repurpose This Surplus” initiative partners with creators to demonstrate how surplus bags and gear can be adapted for real-world use—from everyday carry and travel kits to camping, tools, photography, range gear, and beyond.

The goal is not to sell a specific SKU.

The goal is to sell:

utility
durability
creativity
the category itself

We are looking for someone who can help shape this initiative into a recognizable and repeatable content format.

What We’re Looking For

Someone who understands:

social-first storytelling
pacing and hooks
YouTube + short-form packaging
creator footage workflows
repeatable formats and episodic structure
turning raw footage into compelling brand content

This role is not just about editing clips.

We’re looking for someone who can help:

establish repeatable content formats
shape visual identity and pacing
define capture approaches and shot requirements
collaborate on creator briefs and footage planning
build reusable editing systems and templates
package contributor footage into polished brand and social assets

Responsibilities

Initial project responsibilities include:

Editing creator-supplied footage
Helping shape pacing and structure
Developing intro/outro approaches
Creating social cutdowns and variations
Helping define creator shot lists and capture guidance
Collaborating on creator briefs before creators film
Advising on shot needs or missing coverage
Building repeatable templates for future episodes
Collaborating with content strategy and creative teams
Ideal Experience

Video editing for YouTube and social
Motion graphics and packaging
Creator/influencer content workflows
Outdoor, lifestyle, EDC, military surplus, or adventure content experience preferred
Experience developing repeatable content formats strongly preferred
What Success Looks Like

The series feels recognizable and repeatable
Creator footage is elevated through strong editing and packaging
Videos feel authentic, useful, and engaging
Assets work across YouTube, social, and paid formats
The project establishes a foundation for future contributor-driven content initiatives

Engagement Structure

This will begin as a freelance/contract project with the potential to evolve into a longer-term or full-time role as Sportsman’s Guide continues building its content and creator ecosystem.
