Job Description
Role Overview
We are seeking a dynamic, multi-talented Digital Video Producer & Sports Content Creator to bridge the gap between high-quality commercial production and authentic social media storytelling. This hybrid role requires a candidate who is equally comfortable behind the camera lens, in the editing bay, and in front of the camera engaging an audience.
You will be responsible for producing professional-grade video content for our commercial clients while simultaneously spearheading the development of a sports-centered influencer brand across TikTok and Instagram targeting diverse communities in Louisiana. The ideal candidate has a deep passion for Louisiana sports, a sharp eye for cinematic composition, and the charismatic personality necessary to build and maintain a loyal social media following.

Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to distill complex information into clear, engaging, and high-energy video content.
