We're a well-known sports memorabilia company creating premium, officially licensed collegiate collectibles for college football fans, backed by big-name partnerships. We're looking to engage two independent social media designers and strategists to take the brand to the next level.
Engagement details: 1099 independent contractor (not W-2). Remote, US only. You set your own schedule and use your own tools and equipment.
Design deliverables
- Scroll-stopping, brand-consistent creative across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X: static graphics, carousels, short-form video and motion
- Content around game days, rivalries, team traditions and collector culture
- Creative for key moments like kickoff, rivalry week, bowl season and holidays
Strategy deliverables
- Content strategy and channel/growth plans for each platform
- Campaign plans that grow our audience with fan communities, athletes, creators and alumni groups, and turn followers into buyers
- Regular performance reports with analytics-driven recommendations, and iteration on what's working
Must-haves
- Based in the United States
- Strong visual design skills: graphics, short-form video/motion and brand-consistent creative
- Proven strategy skills: content strategy, channel/growth planning, campaign planning and analytics-driven iteration
- Real experience in sports, through teams, leagues, athletes, sports media or sports brands (please share examples)
- A proven track record of growing a brand on social, with numbers to back it up
- Operating as an independent business or freelancer (1099)
- You live and breathe college football (a big plus)
Nice to have: Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, Canva or CapCut; collectibles or e-commerce experience; creator and athlete partnerships
Our approach to AI: AI tools are welcome as a force multiplier for ideation, research, drafts and workflow speed. Final published creative must be original, human-designed work (real photography, video and design), because authenticity is how we build audience trust. We expect familiarity with platform AI-labeling policies (e.g., Meta's "AI info" label and TikTok's AI-generated content labels), and we always follow platforms' disclosure rules.
Selection process: Finalists will complete a paid work example as part of the interview process.
To be considered, please include:
1. A portfolio (required) showing both your design work (graphics, video/motion) and your strategy and results: sports or brand accounts you've grown, with numbers.
2. A cover letter explaining what you would bring to the table, and how you'd help elevate our brand and get it noticed by millions of potential customers and sports enthusiasts.
3. A short note on how you use AI in your workflow, and how you keep final published creative original and human-designed.
Applications without a portfolio won't be considered.
