SEASONAL - TikTok Manager

ABOUT UNRIVALED

Unrivaled is a premier professional women’s 3v3 basketball league showcasing the top players in the sport. Our mission is to elevate the profile of women’s basketball through exceptional talent, groundbreaking partnerships, and unparalleled fan experiences.

JOB OVERVIEW

Unrivaled is seeking a Seasonal TikTok Manager to to serve as the dedicated owner of our TikTok channel during the 2026–2027 Unrivaled season. The engagement is expected to begin virtually on December 14, 2026, with production activities in Miami, Florida beginning on or around December 26, 2026, and continuing through approximately mid-March 2027, subject to completion of the agreed scope of services.

This role is a hands-on, high-output role for someone who lives and breathes the platform: you'll shoot and edit content courtside, in the locker room, and around the league, executing the strategy for how Unrivaled shows up on TikTok every single day.

Beyond core content, you'll lead our expansion into TikTok Shop and TikTok LIVE.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to build something from the ground up, moves quickly, and has a real feel for what makes content pop on TikTok specifically (not just repurposed IG or YouTube content).

Coordinate scheduling, talent, and technical logistics for live broadcasts

Qualifications

2–4+ years of experience managing a brand, team, athlete, or creator TikTok channel, with a strong portfolio of content you've personally shot and edited

Demonstrated understanding of what makes content succeed specifically on TikTok — trends, pacing, sound design, hooks, native editing style

Hands-on proficiency with mobile and/or DSLR shooting, plus editing tools (CapCut, Premiere Pro, or similar)

Experience with or strong interest in TikTok Shop and TikTok LIVE; e-commerce or livestream production experience a plus

Comfort working in a fast-paced, live-sports environment with tight turnarounds and shifting priorities

Strong organizational skills — able to manage a content calendar, shop storefront, and live schedule simultaneously

Passion for women's sports and basketball culture strongly preferred

Willingness to travel to games and events, including nights and weekends during the season
