The role is casual and runs through the NBL 2026/27 season, with likely Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday shifts from 3pm to 11pm. You’ll need flexibility for fixtures, finals, and major news, and you’ll work in a hybrid setup based in Docklands.

From the employer

🏀 The NBL has never been bigger, and we want someone who can make its social feel that way.

Kayo Sports is looking for a Melbourne-based Social Media Producer to own the feed across the NBL 2026/27 season. You'll be cutting the storylines everyone's talking about, finding the moments between the moments, and turning game nights into content people actually stop scrolling for.

You know the difference between a good play and a clip that'll travel. You know the players, you know the storylines, and you know which moments fans will be talking about tomorrow.

This is a casual role based in Melbourne, paid at an hourly rate and running across the NBL 2026/27 regular season and finals. Shifts will most likely be:

Wednesday, 3pm to 11pm
Friday, 3pm to 11pm
Saturday, 3pm to 11pm

Some flexibility will be needed around the fixture, finals, and big news moments.

Filming content with players at games and training, and knowing how to get the best out of them on camera
Building editorial-led content around the players, rivalries, imports, and storylines driving the league
Coming up with concepts fast and turning them into polished edits even faster
Creating repeatable formats and series that fans come back for week after week
Cutting the biggest and best moments
Jumping on breaking news and moving quickly when the league makes headlines
Working with the NBL, clubs, journalists, producers, and talent to create content no one else can get

Genuine NBL knowledge. You follow the league closely, not just the highlights (essential)
Strong relationships across the NBL, clubs, players, and media, or the ability to build them quickly
Experience producing and filming content with athletes, on-ground and on the fly
Fast, sharp video editing and design skills in Adobe Suite
A knack for ideas, from one-off reactive content to formats with legs
An instinct for pacing, hooks, and keeping people watching
Strong editorial judgement and a clear sense of when to be first and when to be right
A solid grasp of TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and YouTube and what works on each
Comfort reading performance data and using it to get better
Clean, confident writing
A cool head on a big night and the drive to back yourself
