Sport Division Career Openings

Black Diamond Sports & Entertainment Group is seeking a creative, organized, and social-media-savvy Social Media Manager Intern to assist with the day-to-day management and growth of our digital presence.

This is not an internship where you will spend your time observing from the sidelines.

Our Social Media Manager Intern will have the opportunity to work with real brands, athletes, entertainment professionals, events, programs, and campaigns while learning how social media functions inside an established sports, entertainment, and public relations organization.

Black Diamond has nearly two decades of experience in sports management, athlete representation, entertainment management, public relations, branding, media, and professional development. Because our organization operates across multiple divisions and serves a diverse client base, interns have the opportunity to create content covering much more than one sport or industry.

​

What You'll Do

The Social Media Manager Intern will assist our team with:

• Planning and maintaining social media content calendars

• Creating engaging posts, captions, stories, reels, and other short-form content

• Developing graphics and digital content using Canva and similar platforms

• Scheduling and publishing approved content

• Identifying content opportunities involving Black Diamond clients, programs, services, and events

• Monitoring athlete and client accomplishments for potential social coverage

• Assisting with social media campaigns and service promotions

• Repurposing podcasts, interviews, press releases, articles, and other media into social content

• Helping maintain consistent branding across Black Diamond's social platforms

• Researching relevant trends, hashtags, conversations, and content opportunities

• Monitoring engagement and basic social media analytics

• Brainstorming creative strategies to increase reach and engagement

• Supporting special campaigns, events, announcements, and client promotions

• Assisting with community engagement and audience development

• Working with Black Diamond leadership and other divisions to identify stories worth telling

​

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who genuinely understands social media—not simply someone who uses it.

The ideal candidate is:

• Creative and comfortable generating new content ideas

• A strong writer with excellent grammar and communication skills

• Familiar with Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, and emerging social platforms

• Comfortable creating graphics in Canva or comparable software

• Familiar with short-form video and Reels/TikTok-style content

• Able to recognize what makes content interesting, timely, and shareable

• Organized enough to manage multiple brands, campaigns, and deadlines

• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment

• Responsive and able to communicate professionally with our team

• Interested in sports, entertainment, public relations, marketing, branding, or digital media

• Willing to learn and accept feedback

• Able to maintain confidentiality and professional boundaries when working around clients and sensitive information

​

Experience with social media analytics, video editing, Adobe products, content scheduling platforms, photography, or sports/entertainment content is a plus, but not required.

​

This Internship Is a Great Fit for Students Studying

Marketing, Social Media, Digital Media, Public Relations, Communications, Sport Management, Entertainment Management, Journalism, Advertising, Graphic Design, or related fields.

Students from other majors with a strong portfolio or demonstrated interest in social media are also encouraged to apply.

​

What You'll Gain

Our goal is for interns to leave Black Diamond with more than a line on their résumé.

You will have opportunities to develop:

• Real-world social media management experience

• Portfolio-ready content and campaign experience

• Experience working within sports and entertainment

• Content strategy and planning skills

• Professional branding experience

• Social media analytics experience

• Public relations and promotional experience

• Experience communicating within a professional organization

• An understanding of how social media supports athlete, entertainer, and corporate brands

Strong interns may also have opportunities to take on expanded responsibilities, contribute to major Black Diamond campaigns and events, and be considered for future paid or contract opportunities as the organization grows.

​

Academic Credit

Black Diamond welcomes students seeking internship or practicum credit through their college or university. We are happy to work with approved academic internship requirements when appropriate.

Students are responsible for confirming eligibility and internship-credit requirements with their institution.

​

What We Expect

We take internships seriously and expect our interns to do the same.

This position requires consistent communication, reliability, professionalism, creativity, and follow-through. Because much of our work involves professional athletes, entertainers, business partners, and confidential client information, interns are expected to maintain appropriate professional standards at all times.

We understand that interns are here to learn. We do not expect you to know everything on day one.

We do expect you to communicate, meet agreed-upon deadlines, ask questions when necessary, accept feedback, and take ownership of your responsibilities.
