About The Position

We're looking for content creators based in the US who live and breathe social media, understand internet culture, and know how to make content people actually want to watch. This is a freelance, 6-month contract to help to bring TxScores to life across our social media channels, creating fast-paced, personality-led videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook and YouTube Shorts. We're not looking for polished presenters or studio-quality production, we're looking for creators with natural charisma and a style that suits social media.

Together, you'll cover US sport, with a particular focus on college basketball and other major sporting moments throughout the year.

• Excellent communication skills and comfortable working remotely with a distributed team

Responsibilities
