About the Role

We are looking for a creative, driven social media and Platform Content Manager to build Playridot’s voice, grow our community, and keep our platform full of fresh, high-quality content. You will own our social presence end to end and shape the content experience inside the app. This is a hands-on, build-from-the-ground-up role for someone who loves storytelling.

What you’ll do

• Social media and brand
• Own our social strategy and content calendar across Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), Facebook, and LinkedIn
• Create scroll-stopping content — short-form video, player highlights, behind-the-scenes, tutorials, interviews and success stories
• Drive pre-launch momentum and lead our launch campaigns
• Grow followers, engagement, waitlist sign-ups and app installs
• Engage our community every day — comments, DMs, WhatsApp football groups and academy networks
• Run ambassador and influencer partnerships with ex-players, coaches and creators
• Track performance and report on what’s working — then iterate fast
• Platform content and community
• Curate and manage content inside the Playridot app — spotlight players, academies and standout showcases
• Keep the platform feed fresh, engaging and high-quality
• Set and uphold simple content standards so every showcase looks its best
• Work with the Operations team to onboard players and academies and gather great content
• Surface success stories that build trust with scouts and clubs

Requirements

• 2+ years in social media and/or content creation (brand, sports, media or startup)

• A strong portfolio of content you have made and grown — especially short-form video

• Great storytelling and a sharp eye for what makes people stop and watch

• Hands-on skills with tools like CapCut, Canva or Adobe (or similar)

• A solid grasp of social analytics, and the instinct to turn numbers into decisions

• Excellent written communication and community management

• Nice-to-have

• Experience launching a product or brand from scratch

• Familiarity with the Nigerian sports ecosystem — academies, clubs and creators

• Basic design, motion graphics or photography skills

• Who you are (how we work)

• Users-first: you start every decision with “is this good for our players and scouts?”

• Grassroots mindset: you show up, listen, and build real relationships

• Bias to action: you experiment, learn and ship — done beats perfect

• Resourceful: limited budget, unlimited creativity

• Move fast, build trust: quick, but always credible

Benefits

• 250,000 - 300,000
