Content Creator - Freelance

Responsibilities

• Lead Content & Creative Direction (primary lane — concept, produce, capture, edit)
• Concept content end-to-end across the five social platforms — trend-driven pieces, branded content, recurring serialized formats, tentpole moments, original creator concepts, and one-off campaign creative.
• Produce shoots from concept to set — define the shot list, coordinate talent, locations, props, and timing; manage logistics on the day.
• Capture content using both production modes:
• - Phone-first capture — vertical video, BTS moments, court-side reactions, trend executions, fast-turn pieces.
• - DSLR / mirrorless + audio capture — interviews, branded content, original series segments, higher-polish tentpole pieces. Comfortable running camera, lenses, lavalier and shotgun microphones, basic lighting.
• Edit captured content end-to-end — phone or CapCut for fastest-turn pieces, Premiere Pro for polished and longer-form work.
• Bring on-camera presence and voice-over capability where the piece calls for it.
• Operate under the Tennis Channel brand voice and visual standard set by the Senior Social Media Manager and the Director of Video Content; flag content-quality concerns up before publish.
• Phone-first production: fluent shooting vertical content directly on phone, with on-the-go lighting and audio when needed.

Requirements

• 3-5 years as a creator in social media, brand, or creator-economy environment — ideally in sports, live events, news, or entertainment.
• Demonstrable portfolio across multiple platforms (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Instagram, YouTube).
• Hands-on capture experience with BOTH phone-first production AND DSLR / mirrorless + audio production — required, not preferred.
• Owned or willing-to-own production kit: camera body and lenses, lavalier and shotgun microphones, basic lighting.
• Self-editing fluency in CapCut Pro and Premiere Pro.
• On-camera and voice-over comfort.
• Strong concept instincts and brand-voice sensibility — able to translate a brand into native-feeling content for each platform.
• Comfort traveling for tournaments and shoots (8-15 weeks per year on the road).
• Strong organizational skills under live-event pressure and creator-cycle pace.
• Tennis or live sports knowledge a strong plus.

Preferred

• Tennis or live sports knowledge a strong plus.
