Social Media and Marketing Manager

Social Media & Marketing Manager

ACE PADEL · Miami · Contractor (1099)

This is a contractor role. It requires in-person presence at the club and events, as well as participation in scheduled team meetings both online and on-site.

ABOUT ACE PADEL

ACE PADEL is a new kind of sports club, built as much around community as it is around the game. Our first club opens in Coconut Grove, Miami in summer 2026, followed by Denver in fall 2026. Los Angeles and Dallas are set to open in 2027, marking the first four confirmed ACE PADEL locations as we expand nationally.

We are shaped by three cultures: Swedish trust, Spanish warmth, and American momentum. Service is our sport. Everything we put out into the world — on the courts, in the lounge, and online — should feel like that.

THE ROLE

This is a founding social media and marketing role. You are not stepping into something already built. You are helping create it. In the months before the first club opens, the focus is on building the marketing strategy, growing our audience in Miami, and creating real anticipation. Once the doors open, you shift to being on the ground, capturing live content, covering events, and turning everyday ACE moments into content people actually want to share.

With a second club opening just a few months after Miami, you also need to think about how the strategy scales. What carries over, what needs to adapt, and how both clubs stay true to the brand while feeling local.

This role owns social and marketing fully. It is strategic, creative, and hands-on in equal measure.

SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY

Overall marketing strategy and campaign direction across both club openings and beyond
Social media planning and execution across all active platforms

Daily publishing, engagement, and community interaction
Visual consistency and brand integrity across all digital channels
Monthly performance tracking and reporting

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Organized, self-directed, and accountable without needing to be chased
