Social Media and Marketing Coordinator

We are seeking a Social Media & Marketing Coordinator to help launch and define Ox Ridge Padel Club’s presence across its inaugural summer season. This is a freelance role with genuine creative ownership: from building anticipation before we open, to capturing the energy of a first season in full swing, to setting the stage for what comes next.

The right person understands that the most compelling brands don’t shout - they invite. You are equally at home writing copy that carries quiet confidence and capturing candid moments that make a community feel alive. You understand that a beautifully composed Reel and a warm reply to a member’s comment are both acts of brand-building — and that a pop-up launch is one of the most exciting canvases a marketer can work with.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Brand Storytelling & Content

• Develop and steward a content calendar across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn
• Craft copy and visual content that reflects a tone of warmth, elegance, and authenticity
• Produce short-form video — Reels, TikToks, Stories - that capture the culture and energy of the club
• Ensure every piece of content upholds the visual and editorial standards of the Ox Ridge brand

Community & Member Engagement

• Engage meaningfully with our online community - responding, celebrating, and connecting
• Spotlight members and moments that reflect the spirit of the club
• Promote events, open play, leagues, and clinics with content that makes people want to be there
• Identify local partnerships and collaborations that align with our membership’s lifestyle

Strategy & Growth

• Help define and refine the club’s digital voice as the brand evolves through its first season
• Track and interpret performance data to inform content decisions
• Monitor trends in padel, wellness, and premium lifestyle content
• Support broader marketing efforts including email communications and event collateral

WHAT WE SEEK

• A portfolio of social media work demonstrating both visual sophistication and genuine community engagement
• A natural writer with range - capable of warmth and wit, as well as polish and precision
• Confident with short-form video creation and editing; an eye for moments worth capturing
• Self-directed and trustworthy with brand voice - you know what to say and what to leave unsaid
• An appreciation for sport, lifestyle, or hospitality - familiarity with padel is a welcome bonus
• Experience with scheduling and analytics tools (Later, Hootsuite, or similar)
