Social Media Manager

Chat Sports has rapidly grown into one of the leading sports media brands on You Tube. What started with just 3 shows in 2019 has exploded into 51 shows and 50 million+ monthly viewers. Our mission is simple: inform and entertain by delivering unfiltered, high-energy content for the most passionate fans in sports. Please familiarize yourself with our shows on You Tube.

We’re looking for a driven, creative, and strategic Social Media Manager to own and elevate our brand presence across X, Instagram, Tik Tok, and Facebook. This is a high-impact leadership role where you will lead company-wide social strategy while rolling up your sleeves as an individual contributor. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our CEO, Chief Product Officer, and the hosts of our 50+ You Tube shows to turn every episode, highlight, and breaking story into viral moments that grow our audience and strengthen fan loyalty.

If you’ve successfully run social media for a major sports media brand, competitor network, or high-growth digital entertainment company, this is your chance to join one of the fastest-moving teams in sports media.

Location: This is an in-office role at our 11,000 sq. ft, 16-studio Dallas, TX HQ.
