Job Description

We're offering an exciting opportunity for video focused content creators, who are looking to get hands on experience in a sports brand. Candidates must be able to demonstrate that they are already producing video content on Instagram / TikTok and are confident in front of camera.

You will be making content on a daily basis across all areas of the business. We are a fast paced business disrupting hockey, padel and teamwear. Y1 is passionately a sustainable business and we're proud to be carbon neutral, part of your role will be to document our sustainable journey.

We are more interesting in seeing a strong portfolio than a CV. If you can provide us with links to the social media video content you have created / a portfolio that would be great!

We're Y1 Sport, and we pride ourselves on bridging the gap between fashion and sport. We currently make custom teamwear and casualwear for over 1,000 clubs each season, including a large number of university teams.

Currently we are market leaders in hockey content and have the highest engagement rate on Instagram. We now need to replicate this across other areas of our business such as Y1 Padel and Y1 Custom.

We're building a really strong community and you're role will be helping to further develop this community feel and engagement around the Y1 brand.

Y1 Sport is split into four departments;

-

Y1 Hockey

- Our hockey brand, used by Olympic athletes

-

Y1 Padel

- High performance rackets for the fastest growing sport in the world

-

Y1 Custom

- highly bespoke custom clothing

-

Y1 Teamwear

- Our multi-sport teamwear brand, worn by sports clubs nationwide

Job Specification:

To work closely with the CEO and Marketing Manager. You will be responsible for developing our full range of content creative and scheduling for social media. We want you to put your face to the brand, giving viewers a feel and behind the scenes look into the business. If you're not comfortable being in front of camera, then this role is not for you.

You'll be responsible for managing content from idea to output on different social media channels. The main responsibility is organic social media content.

As a brand we like to work fast and produce frequent content. In the hockey department our output is 5 organic Reels / TikToks per week and we need to get to this level on both Y1 Custom and Y1 Padel to help grow the sub-brands in the group.

You will also work closely with our paid marketing agency to devise a clear plan of content to be used as sponsored ads. You will assess which content is most successful via paid ads and which is more suited as organic content.

This is an opportunity to join a highly ambitious fashion & sports startup. Your influence and skill will play a key role in shaping the future of the company.

Who would this role be great for?

This role would be great for someone that has built their own personal brand. Are you an influencer or a content creator that would like to gain further experience working on brand accounts and taking your experience and bringing it into Y1?

Have you got the bug for padel and keen to document the journey?
Have you been producing content whilst at University?

You should be organised in managing a busy shooting calendar and can work in a fast paced environment with quick deadlines.

You will need to be proactive in coming up with new ideas and having the confidence to execute them yourself. This will require you to shoot content in the office and also get out on the road a lot to attend events, universities, hockey clubs, padel centres etc. No one day should look the same in this position, and you need to be happy to put yourself out there and work independently.

Sound like you?

We're a rapidly growing team with 26 employees, 13 based in our London Office. It's a young and exciting environment to be part of.

A protfolio and links to your Instagram / TikTok account accompanied by a cover letter as to why you want to join Y1 is much more valuable to us than a well polished CV.

In return you can expect from us:

Hands-on experience of working for an up and coming sports brand An amazing sports portfolio Work with Olympic athletes Autonomy to manage your own work schedule and achieve targets Access to a large social media platform of 30K+ followers and fans of the brand To be part of a fun and productive team Work in a buzzing work environment in London office, with social events Free Y1 sports equipment and clothing allowance Support from our experienced CEO
