Digital Content Producer - Golf, NBA, Sports Performance

Foreground Digital is a boutique consultancy specializing in helping brands and athletes with social media. By boutique, I mean one person. I've run the agency for four years with independent contractors, no website and a personal Gmail address. Through word of mouth and good fortune, I’ve stumbled into new opportunities and am looking to build a team.

I work with a number of niche brands in golf, fitness and sports performance. The average consumer might not be aware of Titleist Performance Institute, Functional Movement Systems or BodiTrak Sports, but they are important companies in their industries.  

Assist in the creation of digital content for various clients. This will range from managing design/video projects, writing copy, or helping edit 1,000 word editorial pieces.  The Digital Content Producer will continue to build a team of creatives, liaising with contractors to expand agency capabilities.  The Producer will also be charged with helping to calendar and ideate smart content that earns eyeballs by complementing what is happening in sports (mainly the NBA and PGA TOUR).  

• You have experience in digital media, creative services, sports performance or journalism.
• You love sports. All of my clients are athletes or brands who specialize in athletic performance related to golf, fitness, pro basketball or rehab.  The majority of my revenue comes from the golf industry so it would be difficult to do the job if golf wasn't a legitimate interest.  If you don’t know Rory from Rickie or a flop shot from a trap draw, this might not be the opportunity for you.
• You're knowledgable about social media, especially basic trends and best practices.
• You’re able to identify and create great content (from long-form journalism to GIFs). It’s a bonus if you have design or video production experience, but, at minimum, you'll be expected to project manage basic projects.
• You're resourceful.  For better or worse, the job is about making things happen for clients, regardless of budget or schedule.
• You’re a wordsmith. The buzzword in the industry is storytelling, but it boils down to being able to crank out copy that is sticky and on-brand.
• You're a self-starter and capable of managing projects autonomously.

I'd like someone to be available for up to 40 hours per week, but would be flexible with the right person. The position will start as a 3 - 6 month contract role, but transition to FTE. 

I have an office in Portland, but would consider candidates who are willing to work remotely.
