Unrivaled Sports is building the nation’s most exciting, community-driven youth sports brand—and
we’re looking for a Social & Content Manager who lives and breathes sports culture to join our team.
This is an editorial role with creative muscle: you’ll shape the voice of Unrivaled Sports and our portfolio of brands across platforms, coordinate creator output, and craft an always-on strategy that helps millions of families feel connected to the magic and impact of youth sports.
What You’ll Do Editorial Leadership & Channel Management: Lead day-to-day management of Unrivaled Sports social channels. Build platform-specific editorial calendars rooted in storytelling, community, and culture, and produce content that brings our brands to life.
Develop A Portfolio Approach: Create toolkits, prompts, content challenges, and recurring formats that drive consistent content from creators, tournaments, teams, and local communities.

Community Engagement: Actively nurture our communities. Reply to comments, amplify standout moments, and surface insights around what’s resonating.
Who You Are Deeply tapped into sports culture. You track emerging voices, formats, memes, and conversations across pro, college, and youth sports—and understand how to translate them into a youth sports-centered brand.
Editorially minded. You think in story arcs, formats, and repeatable content structures—not one-off posts.
Collaborative. You can navigate a matrixed organization with ease—partnering across sports, venues, operations, and leadership teams.
Player-Coach: You can both create the content and scale the team around you. You’re able to build and conduct a distributed content organization, pulling in great creators, contractors, and freelancers.
