The posting

About Goalhanger

Goalhanger is one of the UK’s most exciting independent media companies, the team behind some of the world’s most successful shows, including The Rest Is Politics, The Rest Is History, The Rest Is Football, The Rest Is Entertainment, and a fast-growing slate. We’re a creative, fast-moving organisation with big ambitions and a brilliant team that makes them happen.

This role is based full time (5 days a week) in our office in Oval.

£35,000 - £42,000 OTE

The Role

We’re looking for creative, experienced video editors to join our growing commercial team. Goalhanger editors need a keen instinct for story, pacing, structure and tone, using those skills to turn commercial briefs into content that audiences genuinely want to engage with.

You’ll work across every podcast on our slate, producing everything from custom segments and baked-in activations to social-first content and more. You’ll be confident interpreting creative briefs, collaborating with multiple stakeholders and balancing commercial objectives with what works for each show and its audience. Above all, you’ll understand how to edit for retention, knowing how to hook an audience, hold their attention and keep the content feeling native to the podcast.

What you’ll do:

  • Edit baked-in activations, custom segments, and social-first commercial content.
  • Collaborate with the wider creative production team and commercial delivery teams.
  • Edit long form commercial content to become engaging and shorter, social-first clips
  • Apply feedback quickly and clearly, whilst simultaneously managing projects and deadlines across multiple clients.
  • Apply learnings and techniques from the creation & activation of our editorial content to ensure our commercial content is as engaging as possible for our audience.

What you’ll bring:

  • Excellent Premiere Pro and Audition skills (multicam editing, understanding of codecs, export settings and proxies etc.). Experience with using After Effects would be beneficial but not required.
  • A love for the craft of editing engaging visual content.
  • Sharp eye for pacing, storytelling and detail.
  • A keen interest in the Podcast landscape including the Goalhanger slate.
  • A good understanding of commercial and branded content
  • Experience editing for YouTube & other social platforms
  • An understanding of audience retention best practices and how to keep viewers watching.
  • Confidence in cleaning up audio and visuals
  • Organised, fast and reliable.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Ability to juggle multiple projects at once in a fast paced environment.
  • Minimum 3 years experience of video editing.

Why join Goalhanger?

  • A rare opportunity to help shape the content operations of one of the UK’s most influential media companies.
  • A creative, collaborative, close-knit team that genuinely cares about its work and each other.
  • Play a hands-on role in creating commercial work across some of Goalhanger’s biggest shows, with the opportunity to develop your craft, work with leading talent and see your work go out to millions of audience members.
  • Competitive salary and benefits, plus opportunities for growth within the role as our team and content portfolio expand.
  • A working environment that values curiosity, autonomy, humour, delivery and purpose.

How to apply:

Send us your CV and a 250 word or less statement on the following: Tell us about a piece of branded content on a Goalhanger podcast that stood out to you. Why did it work, and what could have been done to improve it?

Please also share some examples of your previous work.

Closing date: Sunday 27th September

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
