About the Role

We're looking for a Social Media Coordinator to run the X (Twitter) presence for our Protection United football clients. You'll live in the timeline: covering games in real time, jumping on breaking news, and turning sports moments into posts people share. If you know the difference between a post that gets likes and one that gets quote-tweeted by 10,000 people, we want to talk.

What You'll Do

• Post, reply, and engage on X daily, including live game and event coverage
• Write creative copy in a voice that fits the brand and the culture of the sport
• Monitor breaking news, trends, and conversations, and know when to jump in and when to stay out
• Manage a content calendar around the sports schedule for individual clients
• Track performance (impressions, engagement rate, follower growth, link clicks) and report on what's working
• Flag and elevate anything risky before it goes live: rumors, injury news, athlete or league sensitivities
• Coordinate with athletes, talent, or their reps on approvals and content needs when applicable

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 1+ years of experience managing social accounts, ideally in sports or entertainment (internships and personal projects with real results qualify)
• Deep knowledge of X: formats, algorithm behavior, quote-post and reply culture, Spaces, and video
• Strong writing. Tight, funny when it's called for, and always accurate
• Comfort working nights, weekends, and holidays when games are on
• Solid judgment under pressure. You can post fast without posting sloppy

Nice to have

• Basic video editing (CapCut, Premiere, or similar) and graphic design (Canva, Photoshop)
• Familiarity with football / NIL / college athletics
• Understanding of NIL rules, FTC disclosure requirements, and league/team social media policies
• Existing following or track record of engaging sports content

What We Offer

• Flexible/remote schedule, with game-day availability expected
• Access to events, athletes, or press credentials, if applicable
• Room to grow into a larger role
