Job description

Do you eat, sleep, and breathe sports? If so, now, you can build your career on it! We have an opportunity for a community manager with a passion for sports to work as part of a social media team for a global brand. Our team is deeply integrated in social media conversations relevant to the brand, including sponsorships of sporting events and major athletes. You will actively engage in sports campaigns, in addition to daily conversations related to high-value service issues, products, events, and pop culture. You’re the ideal candidate if you’re motivated, organized, and skilled at moving multiple tasks to completion; are passionate about sports (football, basketball, soccer, golf, etc.), enthusiastic about community interaction, proficient in social media, and comfortable in digital environments.

Generate meaningful results for a growing social media team by supporting the creation and completion of client projects and materials, in a timely manner, without errors. Responsibilities include social listening, proactive engagement, protecting brand reputation, and managing brand content across a variety of social networks, including Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram. You’re fit for this role if you can appreciate working an alternative schedule to meet the demands of social media conversations that take place outside of traditional work hours.

If the idea of engaging in major sports events on behalf of global brands excites you then suit up and get your resume to us before the clock runs out. If you want to score the game goal, make sure your resume and email communications are error-free and showcase your industry experience.

You’ll join an award-winning team. We're a proud seven-time Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company and four-time Top 100 PR agency in the U.S.

We’ve had both remote and hybrid office environments before it was popular. Some of our favorite perks are competitive health benefits with concierge service, our profit-sharing bonus plan, 401K with competitive matching, consistent professional development, our annual agency development summit Camp TruePoint, and every five years sabbatical.

CandidatesMUST RESIDE in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Florida or Texas.

IMPORTANT: Given the 24/7 nature of social media, this position requires flexibility with non-traditional work hours.
