Role Purpose:

The purpose of this contractor role is to capture, produce, and deliver high-impact visual media across designated NXTPRO & PRO16 circuit events during the 2027 season.

Summary:

The Media Contractor provides essential on-site content production for NXTPRO Sports during the 2027 tournament cycle, collaborating directly with the Media Director and on-site media leads.

Core Responsibility 3: Brand Compliance, Sponsor Visibility & Storytelling

• Ensure all captured and delivered media strictly adheres to NXTPRO brand guidelines, graphic identity rules, and event theme standards.
• Actively incorporate brand partner and sponsor elements (including PUMA footwear/apparel visibility) into content framing and finished creative assets.

These three areas are the foundation of the role and will be the primary focus when evaluating assignment fulfillment, compensation delivery, and future rebooking eligibility.

All Other Roles & Duties:

Additional Responsibility 1: Production Coordination & Pre-Event Briefings

• Participate in scheduled pre-event production calls, on-site morning media syncs, and post-day asset hand-offs with media leadership.
• Maintain proactive, open communication regarding equipment needs, upload statuses, priority deliverables, and unexpected schedule adjustments.

Additional Responsibility 2: Media Best Practices & Platform Innovation

• Stay current with emerging digital media trends, viral sports video formats, and platform algorithm best practices to elevate overall content performance.
• Other contractor deliverables as mutually agreed upon for specific event scopes.

Qualifications & Equipment Requirements:

• Experience: Proven track record in sports photography, videography, digital media production, and video editing (basketball or high-speed athletic events preferred).
• Gear & Technical Proficiency: Ownership of/proficiency with professional DSLR/mirrorless camera gear, sports lenses, audio accessories, and creative editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Lightroom, After Effects, or DaVinci Resolve).
• Speed & Independence: Ability to manage high-volume file transfers, organize folder structures efficiently, and work autonomously under fast turnaround constraints.
• Communication & Composure: Strong professional communication skills with players, coaches, staff, and leadership in high-energy event settings.
