Senior Video Editor

About Code Eleven

Code Eleven builds and operates the properties where the best young athletes in America are discovered - Elite 11 (the definitive quarterback showcase for two decades), Area Code Baseball (amateur baseball's premier summer showcase since 1987), and The Opening (top football recruits at Nike's world headquarters). Code Eleven Studio is the content engine on top of those events: film, series, live programming, and the social channels that reach millions of fans, recruits, coaches, and college programs each year.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Editor who can find the story in a hard drive full of event footage and cut it into something people actually stop for.

You'll be one of the primary creative voices on our live sports properties, turning event coverage into content that performs across broadcast, social, and partner channels. Beyond event work, you'll cut the reels that sell the studio itself and help build the systems that keep our library organized and usable.

This is a senior seat. You'll own projects end-to-end, set the quality bar for other editors, and have real input on how our content looks and sounds.

What You'll Do

Video and post-production
Cut long-form features, highlight reels, athlete profiles, sizzles, and social-native edits from live event and/or archival footage
Own the post workflow on assigned properties: ingest, organization, selects, rough cut, finish, delivery
Manage processes for color, audio mix, graphics integration, and versioning across aspect ratios and platform specs
Maintain media management and archive standards so footage stays findable after the event ends
Produce business development assets - concept reels, company reels, and sizzles that pitch our capabilities to prospective partners and sponsors
Support the Head of Studio, or designated lead, on the build-out of our content management system (cms): taxonomy, tagging, metadata standards, and migration of existing library assets.
Integrate, enable and utilize AI within editing processes and cms product development with a "human-in-the-loop" mindset and goal of increasing output and resource efficiency.
Support studio social media personnel including delivery of post-ready assets, graphics templates, and other collateral required to increase the volume of content output across Code 11's owned and operated social channels in varying formats e.g. long-form and short-form.
Leadership and process

Set and hold the creative quality bar across assigned projects
Give clear, useful feedback to junior editors and freelancers; review cuts before they ship
Partner with producers, marketing, and client-facing leads to translate briefs into finished work
Help build and improve templates, style guides, and post workflows
Manage multiple deliverables and deadlines across concurrent properties without dropping quality
Who You Are

Required
8+ years editing professionally, ideally in sports, entertainment, or agency environments
A reel that shows strong storytelling - not just technical competence
Expert command of Adobe Premiere Pro and the Creative Cloud suite (After Effects, Photoshop, Audition)
Fluency in platform-specific specs and what actually performs on each
Experience working under live-event deadlines with imperfect footage and shifting priorities
Comfort giving and receiving direct creative feedback
Availability to work occasional nights, weekends, and travel during event season
Preferred

Working knowledge of the youth, high school, or amateur sports landscape
Motion graphics and design chops (After Effects, Illustrator, Figma, Canva)
Experience with DaVinci Resolve for color, or Pro Tools for audio
Familiarity with live production environments and broadcast handoff
Shooting experience - camera, audio, or interview setup
Experience mentoring or managing editors
Exposure to DAM or content management systems (Iconik, Frame.io, Axle.ai, or similar)
