About The Role
We’re looking for someone who is genuinely enthusiastic about basketball and excited to help build and grow a basketball-focused social media page from the ground up.
The ideal candidate loves following the NBA, keeps up with news and trending storylines, and enjoys creating content that gets basketball fans talking. You should have a good sense of what makes content entertaining, shareable, and engaging on platforms like Instagram and Twitter (X).
This is an opportunity to turn your passion for basketball into a paid role, contribute creative ideas, and help develop a growing social media presence. The position is part-time and fully remote, with a relatively small daily time commitment.
We’re looking to hire as soon as possible.
Responsibilities
- Create and publish consistent basketball-related content across Instagram and Twitter (X).
- Develop engaging posts, short-form videos, commentary, memes, debates, and other content that resonates with basketball fans.
- Stay up to date on NBA news, games, players, trades, and trending basketball conversations.
- Identify timely topics and trends that could attract new followers and encourage engagement.
- Help develop the page’s voice, style, and overall content strategy.
- Engage authentically with the audience through comments, replies, and other relevant interactions.
- Monitor content performance and use engagement trends to improve future posts.
- Bring fresh ideas to the table and take initiative in helping grow the page.
Qualifications
- Genuine enthusiasm for basketball and a strong understanding of the NBA.
- Familiarity with Instagram, Twitter (X), and social media trends.
- Understanding of what makes basketball content entertaining, shareable, and engaging.
- Creativity and the ability to generate fresh content ideas.
- Reliability, consistency, and the ability to work independently.
- Willingness to learn, experiment, and adapt based on audience response.
- Experience using ChatGPT or Claude is a plus.
- Previous experience managing a social media page, creating sports content, or editing short-form videos is a plus, but not required.
Most importantly, we want someone who genuinely loves basketball, enjoys being part of the conversation, and is excited about building something. You don’t need to be an industry veteran, but you should be proactive, dependable, and willing to contribute ideas.
Schedule and Compensation
- Paid initial 30-day trial at an agreed hourly rate, at least the applicable New York minimum wage.
- Flexible scheduling, with work completed as needed to maintain consistent posting, timely basketball coverage, and audience engagement.
- Fully remote, with clear expectations around content quality, consistency, and communication.
At the end of the initial 30 days, we’ll review performance, discuss the experience, and determine whether it makes sense to continue working together.
For a successful long-term fit, there may be opportunities to discuss an ongoing hourly rate, performance-based bonuses, and additional compensation associated with future paid subscription offerings. Any future incentives would be discussed and agreed upon separately.
Who Would Be a Great Fit?
Someone who already spends time following basketball, enjoys discussing the game, notices trends, and naturally comes up with ideas for posts, videos, or debates. You might be a college student, an aspiring sports media creator, a social media enthusiast, or simply someone who loves basketball and wants to turn that interest into a paid opportunity.
If you’re passionate about basketball, creative, consistent, and excited about helping grow a basketball community, we’d love to hear from you.
To apply: Tell us a little about yourself, why you enjoy basketball, and any relevant social media or content creation experience. If you have examples of content you’ve created or pages you’ve managed, feel free to include them.
