Hybrid / Remote
Houston, Texas
15 Hours / Week -> $15-20 / hr. Based on Experience
About the Role:
We're looking for a Social Media Coordinator to run the X (Twitter) presence for our 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 escalate 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
Salary/Benefits
$15.00
- 20.00
per hour
