About RAW Sports

For ten years, RAW Sports has been growing football in Canada. Every year, thousands of young athletes come through our camps in over 15 cities, our Jr. Cardinals flag football leagues in Calgary and Edmonton, and our year-round strength and conditioning programs, coached by former university, CFL and NFL players. We also run our own apparel line and work alongside partners across pro and amateur football, including the NFL and CFL.

There's a story at every one of those programs. We're looking for the person who can find it, film it and cut it into content that looks like it belongs to a premium sports brand.

The role

You'll be RAW's videographer and editor, and the person every department comes to for content. Most weeks you're in Calgary: on the sidelines at our camps, leagues and training sessions, then back at the office turning that footage into Reels, TikToks, YouTube pieces and ads.

You'll work closely with our Content Lead, who sets the ideas and creative direction for our channels. Your job is to bring those ideas to life, from the first shot to the final cut.

You'll also help plan it. You'll sit down with our department leads, learn what they need and when, and build the shoot and edit calendar that gets it done. You'll capture as much as you can yourself, and when one camera isn't enough, you'll bring in a freelance photographer or videographer.

For our camps and programs outside Calgary, you'll help us find and hire local photographers and videographers, then turn what they send in into finished pieces. You won't be travelling to every camp across the country. You'll be there for the moments that matter most, like opening day of the Edmonton Jr. Cardinals league.

A month in this role could include

- Filming a Calgary camp and cutting a recap families can't wait to share

- Building a highlight from footage our Vancouver camp videographer sent in

- Sitting down with our flag football team to plan content for league season

- Bringing a campaign idea from our Content Lead to life

- Booking a freelance photographer for a busy weekend

- Keeping our footage library in order so the best moments are easy to find months later

What you bring

- A reel with sports or action footage you shot and edited yourself

- 2+ years of shooting and editing experience

- Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or similar, and a real feel for pacing, music and graphics

- The organization to run your own calendar when several people want your time, and the confidence to work with department leads

- Comfort filming fast-moving sports with kids and teens

- You live in Calgary or close by, and have a driver's licence

- Availability for evenings and weekends during camp and league season

- Able to pass a police information check with a vulnerable sector check, since you'll be working around youth (we cover the cost)

Bonus points

- An eye for striking social media and marketing campaigns

- Photography experience

- You've played football, or you've filmed youth or amateur sports

- You've hired or directed freelance shooters before

- Motion graphics or photo editing skills

What you get

- $55,000 to $65,000 a year, with health, dental and vision benefits and paid time off

- Camera gear provided

- A Content Lead to work alongside on our campaigns

- Real stories to tell: elite athletes, pro-level coaches, big events, and partners like the NFL and CFL

- Room to grow as our content team grows, plus a RAW store discount
