Available Roles

Live Event Content Creator

This role captures and edits professional photo and video content on-site for use while an event is still happening. Suitable for someone who can work quickly and produce polished content in a fast-paced sports environment.

• Capturing professional photo and video content throughout the event
• Editing and delivering selected photos and video clips in real time

• Using techniques such as speed ramps and time ramps when appropriate
• Following an event content plan while identifying spontaneous moments worth capturing
• Coordinating with the on-site event and marketing teams

Applicants should be comfortable shooting with a professional camera, editing quickly on-site, and delivering content throughout the event.

• Editing and color-grading selected photos and video clips
• Following a creative brief and required shot list
• Organizing and delivering all content by the assigned deadline
• Providing original-frame or uncropped versions when requested

Applicants should have experience capturing both photography and video using a professional camera.

Photo Content Creator

This role focuses specifically on professional event photography and delivering a complete edited gallery following the event.

• Photographing game action, athletes, teams, coaches, spectators, awards, sponsors, and venue details
• Capturing a mix of close-up, wide-angle, candid, and environmental images
• Editing and color-correcting selected photographs
• Delivering social-media-ready and uncropped versions when requested
• Organizing and uploading the final gallery by the assigned deadline
• Sports photography experience is strongly preferred.

General Requirements
