Experience with live sports, live events, or creator-driven content is a strong advantage.

• Coordinate workflows with freelancers, video editors, and content creators
• Oversee distribution of content across streaming platforms and social media
• Brief and quality-check video packaging for short‑form and long‑form formats
• Maintain brand consistency across Sportway's consumer‑facing properties
• Plan and produce studio productions, interviews, and editorial formats
• Develop editorial playbooks for international expansion
• Monitor content performance and audience engagement and report to Sportway HQ
• Experience managing social media channels and developing platform‑specific content strategies
• Proven ability to brief, direct, and quality‑check video editors and creative contributors
• Strong understanding of video production standards for both short‑form and long‑form formats
• Highly organized, with experience managing multiple deadlines and stakeholders simultaneously
• Clear communicator, comfortable working across freelance networks and internal teams
