Who You Are
You are obsessed with storytelling, culture, and community. You understand pickleball beyond the surface level — the people, the energy, the moments, and why the sport continues to grow. You know how to capture those moments and turn them into content that feels authentic, engaging, and true to the brand.
You are creative, organized, and constantly paying attention to what works in the digital world. You understand that great content is not just about views — it’s about building connection, trust, and community around a brand.
Most importantly, you are someone who wants to help build something.
Your Mission
As Social Media & Content Manager, you will help shape the voice and personality of HEAD Pickleball. You will lead the ideation, creation, and execution of content and storytelling across the brand.
Your role is to build and strengthen our organic presence by creating content that connects with players, clubs, coaches, athletes, and fans of the sport. From product launches and tournaments to grassroots moments and athlete partnerships, you will help tell the stories that define what HEAD Pickleball stands for.

Pickleball is community. Pickleball is performance. Your role is to bring both to life — the HEAD way.
