About the position

Big Ten Network is seeking an experienced, highly motivated, and team-oriented freelance long-form storytelling editor to join our freelance editing team. The ideal candidate has an extensive background in Adobe Premiere Pro, with at least 3 years of experience working in sports television, and a working knowledge of Big Ten sports. This role is designed for individuals who can work remotely, provided they have an at-home editing setup and a stable internet connection, or those who can commute to the office located at 2501 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL. The position is expected to span from roughly August through March, with the largest area of need from late October through February. As a freelance editor, you will be responsible for editing features, docuseries, and other storytelling pieces as needed. You will serve as a post-producer, taking scripts and making storytelling decisions with or without consistent input from a producer. Throughout the editing process, you will address producer notes, mix audio, and perform color correction within Adobe Premiere. Additionally, you will be tasked with reformatting and delivering storytelling pieces for both linear and social media platforms. This role requires a flexible schedule, as you may need to work nights and weekends to adapt to the ever-evolving production schedule. You will be expected to work closely with a team while also being capable of working with minimal supervision when needed, particularly in editing long-form content without a producer.
