    CONTENT PRODUCER/ SOCIAL MEDIA

    Do you want to be a part of the fastest growing sport in the world? Busy media reporter seeks help.

    MUST BE A GOOD WRITER, SELF STARTER WHO KNOWS COMBAT SPORTS. THIS IS NOT AN ENTRY LEVEL JOB. MUST UNDERSTAND THE TARGET DEMO AND BE WILLING TO WORK WEEKENDS.

    The primary role comprises publishing daily content on social media (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook).
    Also review edited video stories, check for errors, write copy and upload to YT

    Job description

    Location: Remote
    Position type: Part-time. Potential for full-time employment for the right candidate.

    About the company
    Must Love MMA is the flagship company of Emmy Award-winning reporter Susan Cingari. Focusing exclusively on combat sports, particularly bare knuckle boxing and MMA, the company covers combat sports events and fighters with videos for online distribution.

    Required skills and duties:

    The role comprises social media management and managing as well as production experience.

    SOCIAL MEDIA
    — Instagram is the primary account so familiarity with the platform is strongly preferred
    — Daily posting on Instagram (scheduled via Later) including sourcing appropriate images and news items to share
    — General management and upkeep of all social media profiles (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook), including commenting and interacting with other users

    Knowledge of copyright law (particularly fair use) is required for this role. Understanding of on-page SEO best practices strongly preferred. The candidate will be expected to source relevant information to post, as well as posts provided by the client. Although posts can be scheduled in advance, the candidate will be expected to monitor the account and ensure all information is still correct at the time of posting.

    This is a great opportunity for a highly organized self-starter to work with a dynamic, independent media team in a new and growing sporting niche. Limited training will be provided for software, posting strategy and standards etc., however applicants are expected to be able to conduct their own research and work independently.
