Job description

The role
As the leading esports betting brand, a love for esports is a must. Our ideal candidate is a certified internet "culture vulture" who’s fluent in online trends and has a sixth sense of what might come next. We’re looking for someone with a broad range of skills who will be responsible for managing a content calendar and maintaining strategically-built communities, to ideating around larger social activations and pitching innovative content.

  • Pitch daily, weekly, & monthly content tailored to drive engagement on each of Rivalry’s social media channels.
  • Ensure the company’s Country Leads feel involved and able to collaborate on efforts where their localized expertise and partners can elevate an effort, or be an integral part of one. As a manager your role is to enhance and help leads develop ideas that can be fit for purpose on SoMe and achieve brand and business objectives.
  • Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok community management (knowledge of Youtube and SEO copy is a plus)
  • Monitor wider social conversations and competitor landscape
  • Write/revise social copy and scripting for social assets (i.e. crafting Instagram Stories, short video assets, pulling GIFs, etc.)
  • Qualitative and quantitative social performance analysis for weekly CM reports and campaign wrap reports
