ABOUT UNRIVALED
Unrivaled is a premier professional women’s 3v3 basketball league showcasing the top players in the sport. Our mission is to elevate the profile of women’s basketball through exceptional talent, groundbreaking partnerships, and unparalleled fan experiences.
JOB OVERVIEW
Unrivaled is seeking an experienced Video Editor with a strong VFX and AfterEffects skillset to elevate our social content during the 2026–2027 Unrivaled season. The engagement is expected to begin on December 26, 2026 and continue through approximately mid-March 2027, subject to completion of the agreed scope of services. The services are expected to be performed remotely, except as otherwise agreed by the parties.
You'll be our go-to for building out motion graphics, adding visual effects, and creating animation templates to turn our highlights, campaigns, and partner content into more dynamic and visually driven pieces — while staying tightly aligned with our internal brand system and partner/sponsor guidelines.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Design and execute visual effects, motion graphics, and animated elements for short-form and long-form social content (game highlights, hype content, partner & campaign assets, sponsor integrations)
Build and maintain reusable AE templates, title cards, lower thirds, and effect packages that allow the broader content team to edit quickly without sacrificing quality
Partner with the social, brand, and partnerships teams to ensure every asset reflects current brand guidelines and any partner/sponsor-specific requirements (logo placement, color, messaging restrictions, usage rights)
Elevate raw footage with color correction, compositing, and effects work that matches Unrivaled's visual identity across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms
Collaborate with Content Producers and the Social team to conceptualize effects-driven content from pre-production to post-production
Manage multiple projects and quick-turn requests in a fast-paced, real-time sports content environment
Maintain organization of all created assets, project files and version control within our asset and archive systems
QUALIFICATIONS
3+ years of video editing experience with a portfolio that demonstrates strong VFX/motion graphics work, beyond storytelling & narrative editing
Advanced proficiency in Adobe After Effects (required); proficiency across multiple video editing software is highly valued ie. (Premiere Pro, Davinci, Final Cut Pro)
Experience building a reusable motion graphic templates & effects system that scale across a content calendar, not just one-off pieces
An eye for brand consistency — you can take guidelines and translate them into visually engaging work rather than treating them as a constraint
Strong communication is a must given the remote nature of this role, must be able to respond in a timely matter consistently
Must be knowledgeable of different file types with the ability to convert files types as needed
Bonus: experience in sports, live events, or fast-moving social-first content environments
Unrivaled is an equal opportunity organization. All qualified individuals will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, ancestry, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other basis protected under applicable federal, state or local law.
