SUMMARY
NHL Productions Digital team is seeking a senior‑level multimedia editor/producer who can craft compelling stories that resonate across every screen. This role blends creative vision, hands‑on editing, and platform‑specific storytelling to reach fans wherever they are — from long‑form YouTube series to fast‑moving social content.
The ideal candidate is a modern multimedia creator with a strong editorial voice, deep understanding of digital culture, and the ability to shape narratives that travel. You should be equally comfortable cutting long‑form features and short‑form social pieces, and able to turn raw ideas into polished, fan‑first experiences.
A passion for hockey is essential. You should understand the players, storylines, history, and culture — and be excited to translate that knowledge into content that feels fresh, relevant, and unmistakably NHL.
