Overview

About Black Gold Sports Cards

Black Gold Sports Cards is the premier hobby destination in the Greater Milwaukee area. We aren't just a retail shop; we are a high-energy community hub for sports enthusiasts and collectors. From vintage grails to the latest modern releases and autographed memorabilia, we provide expert grading, appraisals, and events that define the local card culture. Whether in-store or online, we are committed to elevating the collecting experience.

The Role

We are looking for a creative powerhouse to serve as the Social Media & Content Production Associate. This isn't just a "posting" job—you will be the right hand to our Marketing Manager, acting as a secondary creative engine for the brand.

Your mission is to handle the high-level tasks that keep our brand moving: capturing raw footage, executing high-speed edits for short-form video, and assisting in the production of long-form content. You should be someone who "sees" the content before it’s even filmed and can operate with enough autonomy to tackle complex tasks from start to finish.

Key Responsibilities

• Short-Form Specialist: Plan, shoot, and edit high-engagement content for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. You must understand the "hook, body, CTA" framework and how to pace videos for maximum retention.
• Video Editing & Production: Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (or a comparable professional suite like Final Cut/DaVinci Resolve or CapCut) is a requirement. You will be responsible for taking raw footage and turning it into polished, brand-aligned content.
• Long-Form Content: Assist in the production, filming, and post-production of long-form videos and podcasts, ensuring high-quality audio and visual standards.
• Community Engagement: Actively manage and grow our online presence by interacting with the hobby community, staying ahead of sports trends, and maintaining our brand voice.
• Graphic Design (Big Plus): Create eye-catching thumbnails, promotional flyers, and social assets that stand out in a crowded feed.
• Task Mastery: Act as a force multiplier for the marketing department, managing daily content calendars and technical workflows to ensure the brand stays consistent and prolific.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience Over Pedigree: A degree in Marketing or Communications is great, but we value proven results and a portfolio above all else. Show us what you’ve built, edited, and grown.
• Technical Proficiency: You must be comfortable with professional editing software and have a "good eye" for framing, lighting, and sound.
• Hobby Knowledge: A genuine passion for sports and/or the trading card industry is highly encouraged. You need to know the players, the products, and the culture.
• Adaptability: You thrive in a fast-paced retail environment and can pivot quickly when a big "hit" happens in the shop or a major sports story breaks.
• Collaborative Mindset: You are ready to be a "secondary version" of our lead marketing efforts—reliable, creative, and capable of owning projects with minimal hand-holding.
