Social Media & Content Creator

K1 Speed is where speed, competition, and entertainment come together. Our two Kansas City area locations deliver high performance electric indoor kart racing, arcade games, food and drinks, and unforgettable experiences for racers of every skill level, families, parties, and corporate groups.

Overview

We're seeking a creative, outgoing Social Media & Content Creator who can turn the energy of K1 Speed into content that makes people want to visit. From close races and customer reactions to staff personalities and behind the scenes moments, you'll help show Kansas City what makes our locations a great place to race, celebrate, and spend time together.

This full time, hourly position combines content creation with everyday social media management.
