Apply for this role →About Us:
Essentially Sports is the home for the underserved sports fan, delivering stories that go deeper than the headlines. Ranked among the top 10 sports media platforms in the U.S., we reach over 30 million monthly active users and generate 1 billion+ page views each year. We combine audience insights with cultural trends to connect with sports fans where they are and where they're headed. We're in an exciting new growth chapter, expanding our content, strengthening our brand, and finding fresh ways to engage and serve our community of sports fans. Who We're Looking For You're a creator with a voice - someone who knows how to make fans care, laugh, debate, and double-tap. Unlike our external creator partners: you'll be part of the core content team, building original IP for ES's own platforms. We're looking for someone with real on-camera presence who lives and breathes sports content - someone who understands what makes a highlight, a hot take, or a meme actually travel on Instagram and Tik Tok.
What You'll Do:
Be the face/voice of one or more original short-form for ES's owned channels. Write, shoot, and edit (or work closely with editors on) short-form video — reactions, breakdowns, debates, memes, and trend-jacked content. Collaborate daily with the social and video teams to turn game moments and trending storylines into fast, fan-first content. Cover or capture live events and breaking sports moments when needed. Track content performance and use the data to sharpen format, tone, and cadence over time.
What We're Looking For:
Demonstrated ability to create engaging short-form video - a portfolio or reel of past work is a must. Deep knowledge of and passion for at least one of: NFL, NBA, Golf, Athletics, or NASCAR (multi-sport range is a plus).Comfort on camera or on mic, with a distinct style. Fluency in Instagram Reels and Tik Tok trends, formats, and pacing. A collaborative, fast-moving mindset - comfortable working inside a team and taking creative direction alongside bringing your own ideas. Prior experience building or contributing to an online audience (personal or brand) is a strong plus, though this role is about building ES's platforms, not your own.
Bonus Points:
If You Have experience across multiple platforms - X, You Tube, or podcasting. Have covered live sporting events before (sideline, arena, press row, etc.).Bring editing skills (Premiere, Cap Cut, etc.) alongside on-camera talent. What You'll Get Competitive compensation, plus access to ES's production resources, gear, and editing support. A launchpad to become a recognizable face/voice within a media brand reaching 30M+ monthly fans. Room to grow the role - from single-series host to a broader on-camera position as the content slate expands.
How to Apply:
Things to be added in your resume: A reel or links showcasing your best short-form sports content (on-camera or edited work).A quick note on the sports you know best and the kind of content you'd want to build for ES.Links to any existing social profiles or channels (personal or professional).
