Freelance Sports Content Producer

Wavelength is hiring independent sports content producers for project-by-project work, from social-first video to longer-form sports content.

The Role

A project-by-project role for an independent producer who manages sports content from inception to delivery. You work autonomously and take a hands-on approach.

What You Will Do

Sports-focused projects, including platform-native social video and longer-form content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook.

You lead the creative and operational execution, oversee timelines, budgeting and resources and manage production logistics for shoots and live events, including locations, travel, permits and health and safety.

What You Will Bring

You need a reliable network of crew, editors and suppliers that you can bring to a project. You also source and manage crew, editors, athletes, creators and suppliers.

A proven track record as a sports producer with a strong portfolio and the ability to manage complex production workflows from development through to post-production.

You need experience producing social-first video and a good understanding of how content performs on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook.

We look for experience delivering branded or commissioned content to a client brief for brands, sports organisations or broadcasters.

How It Works

It is a freelance, project-by-project engagement and you must be an independent operator.

You work directly with our team. You develop and pitch concepts with our commercial and creative team and package content with our social media team for the Wavelength network and for client and partner channels.

Per project, in advance. We agree the scope, rate and timelines before work starts, and your application should include your day rate.

The post does not set a location. Shoots and live events involve locations, travel and permits, so say in your application where you work and what you can cover.
