JOB OVERVIEW

Do not apply if your primary editing experience is Reels, TikTok, CapCut, or short-form social content.

We are looking for a high-level, fast-moving video editor who understands the storytelling and production quality behind Nike films, NFL Films, Netflix sports documentaries, athlete profiles, and premium YouTube documentaries.
Rare Blue Moon Marketing is a fast-growing U.S.-based digital marketing agency, and we are hiring a full-time Cinematic Sports Documentary Editor to work primarily on a high-profile sports and athlete content account.

This is an opportunity for an editor who wants to produce serious, portfolio-level work on a consistent basis.
We are looking for someone who combines:
Cinematic quality + storytelling ability + SPEED.

You should be able to take interviews, B-roll, training footage, behind-the-scenes footage, archival content, and other raw assets and turn them into a compelling story — without needing someone to tell you where every cut should go.
Our ideal editor understands how to make a viewer feel something, while also working efficiently enough to perform in a fast-paced production environment.

WHAT YOU'LL EDIT
You will primarily work on:
    •    Athlete profile documentaries
    •    Behind-the-scenes sports content
    •    Training and competition stories
    •    Brand documentary pieces
    •    Interview-driven documentaries
    •    Premium YouTube episodes
    •    10–40+ minute long-form content
    •    Supporting trailers, teasers, and promotional edits when needed

The standard we are working toward is closer to:
    •    NFL Films
    •    Netflix Sports
    •    Nike / Jordan Brand
    •    Premium athlete documentaries
    •    High-end YouTube documentary storytelling
    •    Not generic social media editing.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
    •    Turn raw interviews and footage into compelling long-form stories
    •    Identify the strongest moments without relying on a producer to select every clip
    •    Build narrative arcs, emotional beats, tension, payoff, and pacing
    •    Edit polished 10–40+ minute documentary-style videos
    •    Create strong openings that immediately pull viewers into the story
    •    Incorporate cinematic B-roll, music, sound design, graphics, and archival footage
    •    Perform color correction and grading to create a polished, consistent look
    •    Clean and mix dialogue, music, ambient audio, and sound effects
    •    Collaborate with producers, directors, and videographers
    •    Organize large amounts of footage efficiently
    •    Manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously
    •    Turn around revisions quickly
    •    Maintain the same quality standard even when production moves fast

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for a top performer.
Someone who is:
    •    Fast without becoming sloppy
    •    Highly organized
    •    Extremely responsive
    •    Strong at storytelling
    •    Detail-oriented
    •    Comfortable receiving feedback
    •    Able to make creative decisions independently
    •    Reliable with deadlines
    •    Comfortable working in a fast-paced agency environment
    •    Interested in improving constantly
    •    Able to work with minimal supervision

You should not need several days to make minor revisions.
You should not need constant follow-up to complete assignments.
You should be someone who takes ownership of the final product.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE
    •    Proven long-form documentary or cinematic editing experience
    •    Portfolio containing real long-form work
    •    Strong understanding of narrative structure and storytelling
    •    Strong pacing instincts for 10+ minute videos
    •    Advanced Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve skills
    •    Strong sound design ability
    •    Strong music selection and music supervision instincts
    •    Color correction and grading experience
    •    Ability to work efficiently with large amounts of raw footage
    •    Excellent written and spoken English communication
    •    High responsiveness during working hours
    •    Ability to handle multiple deadlines
    •    Ability to work full-time and long-term

IMPORTANT:
Your portfolio must contain actual documentary-style or long-form storytelling work.
A portfolio consisting primarily of:
    •    Instagram Reels
    •    TikToks
    •    CapCut edits
    •    Highlight montages
    •    Trending transitions
    •    Short-form talking-head clips
will not qualify you for this position.

We care much more about your ability to tell a story than your ability to add flashy transitions.

BONUS POINTS
You will stand out if you have experience with:
    •    Athlete profile documentaries
    •    Professional or collegiate sports content
    •    Sports brands or athletic apparel companies
    •    YouTube documentary channels
    •    After Effects
    •    Motion graphics
    •    Cinematic title sequences
    •    Lower thirds and broadcast-style graphics
    •    Archival footage integration
    •    Large multi-shoot footage libraries
    •    ---------- or similar cloud-based review workflows

PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS
This is a fast-paced production environment.
We expect editors to:
    •    Meet agreed-upon deadlines consistently
    •    Communicate immediately if there is an issue
    •    Respond quickly during working hours
    •    Implement feedback accurately
    •    Work efficiently without sacrificing quality
    •    Stay organized across multiple projects
    •    Take ownership instead of waiting for constant direction
    •    Maintain a premium editing standard from project to project
Speed matters here — but quality matters just as much.
We are looking for editors who can deliver both.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
This is not a position where you will spend all day creating disposable social clips.
You will have the opportunity to work on real athlete stories, documentary-style productions, and premium sports content with footage designed for cinematic storytelling.
For the right editor, this is a long-term position with consistent work, creative responsibility, and the opportunity to build an impressive body of sports documentary work.

HOW TO APPLY
Applications must be submitted directly through OnlineJobs.ph.
Subject Line:
Cinematic Sports Documentary Editor – [Your Full Name]
Please include:
    •    Your OnlineJobs.ph profile link
    •    Your Gmail address

    •    At least one complete documentary-style project whenever possible
    •    A brief explanation of the longest-form project you have edited
    •    Your specific role in shaping the story and narrative
    •    The editing software you primarily use
    •    Your typical turnaround time for a polished 10–20 minute video
    •    Your current availability and whether you are available full-time

Optional — But Strongly Encouraged:
Send a short Loom/video walking us through one of your best edits.

    •    How you structured the story
    •    Why you made certain pacing decisions
    •    How you approached music and sound design
    •    How you built emotional moments
    •    What you personally contributed to the finished piece

BEFORE YOU APPLY
Ask yourself:
Can I take hours of raw footage and turn it into a story people actually want to finish?
Can I deliver premium work quickly without sacrificing quality?
Can I operate independently without someone managing every step of my editing process?
If the answer is yes, we want to see your work.
We are not looking for someone who simply knows editing software.
We are looking for a storyteller, an editor, and a high performer.
