About The Position

FloSports is looking for a Content Manager to help lead the day-to-day content strategy and execution for FloLacrosse. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who deeply understands lacrosse and knows how to turn FloSports’ live event portfolio into content that grows our audience, creates excitement and drives fans to sign up and watch. You should be a true subject matter expert who understands the players, teams, programs, recruiting landscape, rivalries and storylines that matter to lacrosse fans. You should also be an excellent social content creator who thrives around live sports and is comfortable identifying, clipping and publishing the biggest moments from games in real time. The work does not stop when the game ends. A major part of this role will be finding ways to continuously maximize FloSports’ live event assets by repackaging games into highlights, short-form videos, athlete features, compilations and other content that extends the value and reach of our rights. While this role will primarily focus on FloLacrosse, you will also regularly contribute to priority events and initiatives across the broader FloSports portfolio.

• Strong understanding of how to build anticipation, narratives and stakes around live sports
• Experience managing social channels and making day-to-day editorial and programming decisions
• Strong video instincts, including an understanding of what makes a clip, highlight or moment perform
• Experience using analytics to understand content performance and inform future decisions
• Strong understanding of how social and digital content can contribute to audience growth, live-event viewership and subscription acquisition
• Familiarity with social and video monetization strategies
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, live-events-driven environment, including nights and weekends when major events require coverage
• Comfortable traveling for selected events and producing content in an on-site environment
• Highly organized, proactive and comfortable owning projects from idea through execution
• Strong collaborator who can work across multiple teams without needing a large team or direct reports to get things done

• Manage FloLacrosse social channels, including publishing, programming and day-to-day editorial decisions

• Look for opportunities to increase social and video monetization while keeping audience growth and subscription acquisition as the primary focus
• Assign and coordinate work with freelancers, contributors, photographers and other external resources as needed
