About KTVK:
Home to CBS 5, 3TV, and Arizona’s Family Sports, Arizona's Family produces more than 100+ hours of local news and programming every week. CBS 5 is Arizona’s Most-Watched Television Station, driven by the power of CBS programming and sports, while 3TV is one of the strongest Independent television stations in the country with its highly-rated morning show, Good Morning Arizona. And the reach of Arizona's Family doesn't stop with linear television. Azfamily.com is the market's top performer in local multi-platform unique users. It is also home to Arizona's Family Originals. Our in-house original content production team works on several long-form programs, documentaries, docuseries, and original podcasts, including True Crime Arizona, which is nearing 2 million downloads.
Arizona’s Family Sports is home to the state’s premier sports franchises, including the Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury, Phoenix Rising, and the Arizona Interscholastic Association high school state championships.
Job Summary/Description:
Can you tell a story that stops a scroll and commands a screen? Are you the kind of editor who lives for the adrenaline of a breaking news cycle but also knows exactly how to cut a sports highlight reel that feels like a cinematic masterpiece? Arizona’s Family is looking for a versatile, high-energy News & Sports Video Editor to join our powerhouse team in Phoenix. We don’t just "cut tape" here—we craft visual experiences across broadcast, social, and digital platforms that empower Arizonans to live their best lives. If you’re a technical wizard with a creative soul and a "get it done" attitude, we want to see your reel.
Duties/Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
What You'll Do:
• Craft compelling narratives: Edit high-impact video for news, sports, and special projects across all platforms (TV, web, and social).
• Own the sports beat: Cut fast-paced highlights and features for the Arizona Family Sports network that capture the heart of the game.
• Produce and edit sports podcasts: Collaborate directly with the sports department to bring our sports podcasts to life with high-quality audio and video production.
• Drive social engagement: Create platform-specific content that feels native to Instagram, TikTok, and X—because digital isn't an afterthought here.
• Capture the action: Step behind the lens to shoot high-quality video in the field when the story calls for it.
• Manage the feed: Acquire and route video feeds from satellite, microwave, and backpacks, ensuring our field crews are always ready for air.
• Master the workflow: Work closely with the Chief News Editor to keep our content management and archive systems running like a well-oiled machine.
• Collaborate in real-time: Communicate with control rooms and field crews with urgency and precision to execute flawless live broadcasts.
What You Bring:
• Non-linear expertise: You’re a pro with modern editing software and understand the technical nuances of digital workflows.
• A dual-threat mindset: You’re just as comfortable editing a hard news package as you are a hype video for a Friday night kickoff.
• Visual storytelling chops: You have an "eye" for great shots and an "ear" for perfect pacing.
• Field readiness: Experience (or a strong desire to learn) shooting video in the field—you aren't afraid to leave the edit suite.
• Digital fluency: You understand what makes a video go viral and how to optimize content for different social platforms.
• Grace under pressure: You thrive in a fast-paced, high-stress environment and never miss a deadline (even when the clock is ticking down).
• Technical savvy: Familiarity with receiving feeds and managing assets in a content management system.
• Team-first attitude: You’re a communicator who lifts up the team and is always looking for ways to improve the final product.
