Wests are looking for a young member to take on a role to support our Club’s Social Media presence.
In today’s digital age, a strong social media presence is crucial for community sports clubs. It’s an excellent way to engage with members, attract new players, and keep everyone informed. But we know that as a volunteer, finding time to manage social media can be challenging.
The Social Media Team partners with the Club Secretary and other key Members to develop and execute digital engagement strategies across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and the club website. They create content calendars, design graphics, and write posts highlighting Club sponsors and supporters, match reports, player profiles, and community events.
They monitor social media channels for member feedback and enquiries, respond promptly to comments and messages, and analyse engagement metrics to refine promotional tactics. Their work amplifies club stories, drives membership growth, and strengthens sponsor visibility.
Key Responsibilities:
Content Creation:
- Develop and curate high-quality, engaging content for the club’s social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
- Create visually appealing graphics using tools like Photoshop to enhance the club’s social media presence.
Social Media Management:
- Schedule and post regular updates, match previews, match highlights, and other relevant content across various social media platforms.
- Monitor and engage with the club’s online community, responding to comments, questions, and feedback in a timely and professional manner.
- Stay up-to-date with industry trends and emerging social media platforms to ensure the club’s presence remains relevant.
Community Building:
- Develop and implement strategies to grow the club’s social media following and fan engagement.
- Work closely with the club’s marketing and communication team to promote events, news, and match-days.
Qualifications and Skills:
- Passion for baseball and/or sport in general – a deep understanding of the sport would be helpful but not vital
- Proficiency in social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
- Experience with basic graphic design and image editing software, especially Photoshop.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Creativity and the ability to think outside the box to engage the club’s audience.
- A commitment to the club’s mission and values.
Time Commitment: This is a volunteer position, and the Volunteer Social Media Manager is expected to dedicate a flexible number of hours per week.
To apply for this role, please send a CV, along with a short description of why you would suit this role, to our Club Secretary – Secretary@WestsBaseball.com.au
