Job Summary

We are looking to add a creative, witty writer and Tweeter to join our Social Media team on a part-time basis.  Candidates must have a deep and detailed knowledge of baseball and the Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers or Oakland Athletics, and a keen editorial sense. Experience with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat is preferred. A strong handle of grammar, punctuation, syntax and Twitter voice is required. Attention to detail is a must. If you can’t name the members of your team’s bullpen, don't apply. If you are an independent thinker with a love of the game, this could be a great job for you. Photoshop experience is a plus.

This is a part-time, seasonal position offering 32 to 40 hours per week. Specifically, you would be required to provide in-game Twitter content during games to supplement and enhance the Rockies, Royals, Dodgers or A's daily efforts. Candidates are required to be flexible; we work when the games are being played, meaning days, nights and weekends. The plan is for you to work as many games as you possibly can, whether the team is at home or on the road. Shifts last from an hour or so before first pitch until 45-90 minutes after the final out.

Please send along your resume, Twitter handle, blog(s) and any writing samples (short or long-form) you think best reflect your style.

Below are some sample tweet topics. Compose each as if you’re tweeting from the Rockies, Royals, Dodgers or A's team account. Assume each topic occurs in real time; could also include link to highlight video, Club.com article, Gameday, Shop page, or nothing at all. Feel free to include any ideas you have for images/GIFs/graphics. Please include this in your cover letter.

  1. Your team’s star hitter wins the batting title
  2. First day of Spring Training games
  3. Team wins ninth straight game
  4. Last hour of #FinalVote. Your team’s star hitter is neck and neck with a division rival.
  5. 20% off all Club.com shop items
  6. Ace starter goes down with elbow injury in 8th inning
  7. Your team’s best outfielder does it again, making an incredible diving play.
  8. Your manager gets ejected after arguing the result of a replay review.
