Video Editor (Milan)

Concept & Art Direction

• Develop content concepts for sports and athlete storytelling across formats : from short-form social to longer editorial pieces

• Identify the story within existing footage : rushes, BTS material, event coverage, athlete access, and shape it into something worth watching

• Contribute to pre-production planning when shoots are happening: propose shots, sequences, formats, and creative approaches before the camera rolls

• Think natively across formats and lengths : a 15-second Instagram cut and a 3-minute cinematic piece are different disciplines; you're fluent in both

• Understands how to work within the world of YouTube

Editing & Post-Production

• Edit video content across the full spectrum of Eight Sleep's global output : social content, athlete films, partnership activations, event coverage

• Work across DaVinci or Premiere Pro and After Effects with genuine proficiency

• Handle colour, sound, and motion with enough craft knowledge to make independent decisions at the edit stage

• Deliver to platform-specific requirements without losing creative intent in the process

Production Versatility

• Comfortable working with any type of footage : iPhone on a race day, RED or ARRI on a Dreams shoot, GoPro on a Tour de France stage

• Able to operate across the full production spectrum: fast, reactive, run-and-gun shooting alongside high-end planned productions

• Understand the relationship between what gets captured on the day and what becomes possible in the edit, and make smart decisions accordingly

• Three to five years of experience in sports, brand, or editorial video content, with a portfolio that demonstrates both conceptual thinking and editing craft in equal measure

• A reel that shows range: social-native content and longer-form storytelling, reactive shooting and planned production, fast turnarounds and considered finishes

• Genuinely sports-literate : you follow the races, the athletes, the moments. You understand what makes a sports story resonate because you care about the sport itself, not just the aesthetic

• Video-first in how you think : you instinctively frame ideas as moving image, not stills or copy

• Socially fluent without being socially limited : you know what performs on platform, but you don't let that become a ceiling on your creative ambition

• Fast without being careless. You can turn a same-day edit when the moment calls for it, and slow down for craft when the project deserves it

• Autonomous and self-directed : able to take a brief, disappear into the footage, and come back with something nobody asked for but everyone needed

• Based in Milan or genuinely open to it; comfortable travelling to races, shoots, and events across Europe
