Job description

Social media isn’t just noise. It’s war for attention.

And in this role, you’re not here to post pretty pictures, you’re here to command conversations, spark communities, and turn fandom into fuel.

• Collaborate with teams and influencers to expand reach, boost sentiment, and amplify brand presence.
• Experiment with emerging platforms and alternative channels, if the audience is there, you’ll find them.
• Analyse performance and extract insights that sharpen strategies and elevate impact.

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of social media community management and growth experience.
• Non-negotiable: deep sports knowledge, especially football, global and local.
• Proven track record in building, scaling, and sustaining social communities.
• Mastery of major platforms, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and curiosity for what’s next.
• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, After Effects, Firefly) and a working command of AI tools for content creation and prompt engineering.
• Commercially sharp with a creative streak, blending strategy and hustle seamlessly.
• Strong project management, interpersonal skills, and an instinct for timing that turns engagement into momentum.
