Our purpose is to empower better lives through football. We are proud of the role City Football Group clubs play in their localities, delivering positive economic, social and environmental impact through our operations and through programmes and activities that bring about meaningful, lasting change.
We’re looking for a creative and driven Junior Editor to join our dynamic team. In this role, you’ll take ownership of editing and post-production for recurring content strands, including archival footage for commercial partners and fulfilling internal footage requests. While this is a junior position, we’re seeking candidates with proven editing experience and a strong showreel that demonstrates creativity and expertise in short-form content. You’ll have the opportunity to tell engaging stories for millions of passionate fans worldwide.
This is Your City
As part of our team, you will be entitled to 26 days annual leave plus an additional day off for your birthday, private healthcare and a simply health cash plan, an annual discretionary bonus, plus a range of partnership and lifestyle discounts.
Your Impact
1. Edit recurring strand content for commercial partners, focusing on archive-footage-based projects and ensuring all contractual obligations are met.
2. Handle partner or internal team footage requests efficiently, coordinating across departments to clarify project timelines and creative requirements. Deliver edits to a high professional standard, reflecting brand guidelines and partner expectations.
3. Demonstrate versatile editing skills across short-form (e.g., social media clips, TikTok content) and mid-to-long-form (branded vignettes, docu-style pieces) whilst incorporating current editing techniques and storytelling approaches to keep content engaging and on-trend.
4. Provide on-site support during shoot days or player appearance events, gaining direct production experience.
5. Uphold best-in-class standards for branded content, ensuring alignment with partner brand guidelines, City’s style, and overall commercial objectives.

- Proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro and familiarity with short-form/social media editing styles.
- Strong storytelling skills, demonstrated through a showreel that showcases creative edits.
- Excellent organization for managing multiple strand edits and archival content.
- Clear communication and a team-first mindset when collaborating with producers and other stakeholders.
- Willingness to work flexible hours, including some weekends, based on production needs.
Desirable
- Basic camera operation skills and comfort assisting on set or on shoot days.
- Experience in sports media or branded content, especially football-related projects.
