Job Description
The Digital Media Associate is part of the Marketing & Communications department for Minnesota United FC (MNUFC), a sports business located in the Twins Cities area of Minnesota and a member of Major League Soccer (MLS), the top tier soccer league in North America.
This is a paid, part-time, seasonal role based in Golden Valley, MN that will allow you to gain valuable experience in copywriting, social media, and digital content creation, while building up a robust portfolio of highly-visible work your mom will be proud to tell her friend Peggy about.
:
If your personality type could best be described as the middle part on the Venn diagram where Ted Lasso quotes intersect with Pedro Pascal memes intersect with hard-hitting soccer analysis, boy, have we got a role for you.
We’re looking for a creative, passionate writer / content creator / soccer know-it-all to serve as our next Digital Media Associate — a Swiss-Army-knife role within the Digital Team that will do everything from write website articles to capture behind-the-scenes content to come up with ridiculous memes a respectable digital media team would never put on the internet.
Here’s what you’ll do:
60% writing
  • Craft marketing copy people actually want to read, to be used in things like websites, emails, skywriting, maybe even those giant signs people spin on street corners
  • Do all sorts of journalistic legwork, like researching opponents, attending training sessions, and asking the hard-hitting questions like, “Would you rather be a giant hamster or a tiny elephant?”
  • Come up with headlines that are better than the ones ChatGPT wrote when we asked it for Loon puns
  • Write all sorts of interesting articles for MNUFC.com — everything from game recaps to opponent breakdowns to in-depth novellas about PK’s origin story
30% Social Media
  • Cover team events, training sessions, and games, where you’ll take pictures, record videos, ask players weird questions for TikTok
  • Use the skills you acquired during that one J-Term graphic design course you took to Photoshop a biscuit onto our jersey because it’s National Biscuity Day or something ridiculous like that
  • Come up with cool things we can do on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, Discord or whatever new thing the youths are using these days
  • Explain to your Millennial boss why it’s actually kinda cringe when they try to use Gen Z slang in their social captions
10% Other
  • Run out to the store to pick up a Micro SD card because your boss forgot the other one in their backpack and the podcast is starting in ten minutes
  • Other things like that
You Might Be Right for this Role if you:
  • Are good at putting words in an order that makes people laugh and cry and feel all tingly inside
  • Find yourself scrolling through TikTok and thinking, “How can I use the trending audio in this video of a pygmy marmoset riding a raccoon apply to Minnesota United?”
  • Use the Oxford comma in your writing because you believe in clarity and also because you are a civilized adult living in the year 2023
  • Are a famous social media influencer (unlikely, but worth a shot)
  • Have recently graduated with, or are currently pursuing, a Bachelor’s degree in communications, marketing, or related field
  • Want to carve out a career that consists of writing words and making memes and doing other silly things for the coolest soccer team in the whole wide world
  • Can artfully break down how the false nine's movement created a numerical superiority in the half-space, disrupting the opposition's defensive shape and allowing the regista to distribute the ball with ease. But in English this time.
Here’s what we’ll do for you:
  • Give you a chance to develop your skills in a real-world setting where the stakes are high, the fans are passionate, and all your friends will actually see what you do
  • Just kidding. HR said we can’t actually do that.
  • Help you break into the one of the coolest industries there is
  • Help you build up a portfolio of highly-visible work
  • Pay you in real cash money. Or Doge Coin if you prefer.
  • Give you access to mentors and senior professionals who will coach you, challenge you, and help you develop your skill set
