Social Media Producer, NBL (Kayo Sports) | Melbourne | Casual

🏀 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.

- 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
