Job description

Hey there, Future Show Social Manager! 👋

Our mission is to be the world’s leading digital sports media company, making sports entertainment more engaging and transparent for fans worldwide. As part of Better Collective, Playmaker is home to some of the most influential sports and entertainment brands, reaching millions of passionate fans every day across digital, social, video, and audio platforms.

We are looking for a highly organized, basketball-obsessed Show Social Manager (Independent Contractor) to manage a premium NBA Podcast’s social media channels (including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, X, and more). This contract will start in September (in preparation for the upcoming season and key events) and run through July. 

This role is for you if…

  • You live and breathe NBA basketball. You don’t just watch the games; you understand the memes, the storylines, the stats, and the culture surrounding the league.

  • You are a social-first creator. You know exactly what makes a video go viral on TikTok, what grabs attention on Instagram, and how to command a community on X.

  • You are highly organized and self-motivated. You can manage a content calendar, keep track of assets, and deliver high-quality posts consistently in a fast-paced environment.

How You’ll Make an Impact

Here are some of the key ways you’ll contribute to the show's success:

  • Channel Management: Take full ownership of day-to-day programming and optimization across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, X, and other key social platforms.

  • Real-time Live Coverage: Monitor live NBA games and major events to post real-time updates, game recaps, scores, and cultural moments.

  • Content Execution: Program and schedule highly engaging, social-first content tied closely to the show's weekly episodes and seasonal storylines.

  • Branded Content Ideation: Contribute ideas and ways for sponsors to integrate within social content, and help stay organized during approval processes. 

Job requirements

The Ideal Profile: Is This You?

Here’s what we are looking for in our ideal contractor:

  • Proven experience managing active, high-growth social media accounts (specifically IG, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and X).

  • Deep, authentic knowledge of NBA basketball and a genuine fandom of the sport.

  • Complete willingness and availability to work non-traditional hours, including nights and weekends, especially during the NBA season to cover live games.

  • This position is fully remote, but candidates residing in the New York/New Jersey (NY/NJ) area are strongly preferred.

  • Previous experience working with branded content or executing branded social media campaigns is a huge plus!

  • The ideal candidate lives and breathes basketball socially, is organized, and has some experience producing content on their own.
