Job Description
High-Performance Content & Marketing Specialist
Full-Time | On-Site | RISE Calgary Central Sportsplex
Create daily content. Build community. Drive growth. Own the voice of a movement.
The Opportunity
RISE is more than just a basketball facility — it’s a lifestyle, a brand, and a community movement. From youth training (JR.RISE), full-time memberships, elite athletic development, and tournaments — to our EA Sports Lounge, Boom Coffee, and Courtside Cuts — we are building a culture that’s meant to be captured, lived, and shared.
We need a high-performance marketing specialist to create nonstop, high-quality content and transform RISE into a 24/7 content engine — where every story, every training session, and every moment is documented and shared.
You’ll help RISE become a digital portal for community-building, storytelling, sales, and engagement across all platforms.
What You’ll Do
- Create & post content 365 days a year — think of this role like you're running a 24/7 documentary of what RISE is all about
- Build and manage daily content calendars , covering everything from promotions and tournaments to lifestyle moments and behind-the-scenes stories
- Capture high-quality content from our basketball courts, gym, coffee shop, gaming lounge, barbershop, and classrooms — in the building every day
- Maintain a balance of authentic, raw content with polished, high-converting promotional content
- Manage and grow all RISE digital platforms:
- LinkedIn (RISE business + CEO personal)
- Instagram
- TikTok
- YouTube (shorts & long-form series)
- Facebook
- Website (blogs, news, and updates)
- Grow our online community by joining relevant Facebook and LinkedIn groups, actively engaging with local and national sports/fitness discussions, and representing RISE as a thought leader and brand
- Spark and lead comment sections, DMs, story replies, and group chats
- Launch a YouTube Series that captures the heart of the RISE experience
- Edit all content using Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator) with quick turnaround and high visual impact
- Layer videos and images with logos, subtitles, links, hooks, and calls-to-action
- Organize and manage a structured content library and drive folders
- Use Basecamp to communicate with the leadership team, submit reports, and ensure transparency in planning and execution
- Stay on top of trends, algorithms, hashtags, and virality triggers — you must live and breathe social media
Your Mindset
We want someone who:
- Wakes up thinking about content
- Treats our brand like it’s their own
- Thrives in fast-paced, high-output environments
- Thinks 3 months ahead while executing today
- Builds content for community first , not just likes
- Sees social media as a two-way dialogue , not just a billboard
Required Experience & Skills

- Proven track record of growing and engaging audiences

- Deep understanding of Instagram Reels, TikTok trends, YouTube algorithms, and LinkedIn culture
