Social Media Manager - LOVB Miami

****About LOVB (League One Volleyball):****
League One Volleyball (LOVB) is reimagining women's sports. Launched in 2019, our company is a mission-led sports performance, training and media enterprise that will change the game of volleyball in the USA and empower new generations of female athletes.
 
It is a groundbreaking time for volleyball in the US with our historic triple Olympic Gold medals in Women's Indoor, Beach and Sitting Volleyball. Volleyball is already the #1 most played girls'  youth sport. There are 38M current and former players today. Of major sports, it's the only one that is women-first (~90% of players are female). But the volleyball market has been almost entirely missed by traditional sports investors, brands, and media.
 
LOVB is capturing this opportunity by creating a strong club business, and from that built-in audience and fandom, is creating the best Pro League in the world and a digital ecosystem that will  connect all aspects of LOVB. This community-up approach will drive participation and fandom, while enabling greater empowerment for girls and young women living this amazing sport. In  this role, you will join a mission-driven, roll-up-your-sleeves team of innovators and builders who have come together to change the paradigm of professional volleyball and women’s sports.

****About LOVB and LOVB Miami****
---------------------------------

LOVB Miami Volleyball is League One Volleyball’s professional team in Miami, playing its inaugural LOVB Pro season in 2027. Built from the grassroots up through a network of junior volleyball clubs, LOVB Miami is part of the only professional league in the United States with a fully integrated youth-to-pro ecosystem. The club is shaping a new vision for professional sports in one of the world’s most dynamic markets, built on elite competition, community, and the advancement of women’s volleyball.

LOVB Miami is backed by a best-in-class ownership group of experienced operators and passionate volleyball supporters. We are building the first and greatest women’s sports franchise in Miami, with deep resources, a network second to none, and unmatched ambition to be the best. Our ownership group is committed to a franchise that reflects the culture, energy and diversity of Miami: a cultural anchor of the community and an international beacon for women’s sport with deep connectivity to Latin America.

This is a founding role. You will help build a professional sports club from a blank page in one of the most competitive and most international sports markets in the country.

****The Role****
----------------

The Social Media Manager owns the club’s voice and its daily presence across social platforms. You set the channel strategy, run the calendar, publish, capture, edit, and manage the community — and you do it for a roster drawn from eight countries in a city that consumes content in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

This is a strategy role and a hands-on production role at the same time. You will be shooting on your phone at practice on a Tuesday and presenting a quarterly channel plan on a Wednesday.

The best candidate is a creator themselves, and has a point of view about what makes a professional sports club worth following, including a body of work (personal or work) that proves it.

****What You’ll Own****
-----------------------

### ****Channel strategy and planning****

* Own platform strategy across IG, TikTok, YouTube, X, Whatsapp,Facebook and emerging channels — what each is for, what success looks like on each.
* Build and maintain the content calendar against the season, promotional and partnership calendars.
* Define the club voice and hold it consistently, including in Spanish and Portuguese as appropriate.
* Set the roadmap for repeatable and impactful content franchises rather than relying on one‑off posts.

### ****Content capture and production****

* Shoot and edit vertical video and stills at training, matches, community events and team activities.
* Deliver fast‑turn matchday content: pre‑match, live coverage, highlights, post‑match reaction.
* Manage freelance photographers and videographers, and maintain the asset archive.
* Work within league content rights, broadcast restrictions and highlight guidelines.

### ****Athlete and team storytelling****

* Build genuine working relationships with athletes and coaching staff, and earn the access that makes content distinctive.
* Run the athlete content program — cadence, formats, and personal brand support.
* Support athletes’ own channels where it serves both the athlete and the club.
* Handle multilingual storytelling with cultural fluency, not machine translation.

### ****Community management****

* Manage daily community engagement, replies, DMs and fan relationships across channels.
* Escalate issues appropriately and follow club and league guidelines on sensitive topics.
* Identify and cultivate creators, superfans and local voices who can extend the club’s reach.

### ****Partnerships and commercial integration****

* Deliver contracted partner social assets on time and to spec without eroding the feed’s credibility.
* Work with the league on cross‑promotion, platform programs and shared content moments.

* Run structured tests on formats and posting strategy, and report what you learn.
