Strong understanding of pacing, timing, visual storytelling and current social media editing trends. Strong attention to detail and ability to work efficiently on deadlines. Ability to recognize what makes a moment entertaining, informative, controversial or shareable.

Proficiency in video color grading to ensure consistent, high-quality visuals across platforms. Ability to create and integrate motion graphics and social media graphics aligned with brand guidelines. Experience using industry-standard editing tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve) and basic audio cleanup. Understanding of social media best practices, trends, and formats for sports or entertainment content.
