Social Media Manager (Internship for School Credit)

Collegiate Backgammon League
NYC Backgammon Club

About Us

NYC Backgammon Club is leading the modern backgammon movement — transforming a classic game into a social, competitive, and culturally relevant experience for the next generation. With thousands of members, 250+ events, and national expansion underway, we are now building the Collegiate Backgammon League to bring structured competition, community, and culture to campuses across the country.

This is not your typical club sport. This is the future of backgammon.

The Role

We are hiring a Social Media Manager (Intern) to oversee the digital presence of the Collegiate Backgammon League. This role is ideal for a student who wants real ownership, creative freedom, and hands-on experience building a national brand from the ground up.

This internship offers school credit and direct mentorship from the Founder of NYC Backgammon Club.

You will not just “assist.” You will build.

Responsibilities

• Own and manage Instagram and TikTok for the Collegiate Backgammon League
• Develop and execute a consistent content strategy
• Create short-form video content (Reels, TikToks, campus highlights)
• Coordinate with college ambassadors to collect content from campuses
• Design graphics for announcements, rankings, match recaps, and campus launches
• Capture and edit event content when applicable
• Track analytics and optimize growth strategy
• Help define the voice and visual identity of the collegiate brand
• Assist with league launches, campus activations, and digital campaigns

What We’re Looking For

• A current college student seeking internship credit
• Strong understanding of Instagram, TikTok, and short-form content trends
• Comfortable filming, editing, and being creative independently
• Strong aesthetic instincts and brand awareness
• Organized and proactive — this is not a passive role
• Passion for sports, competition, or community-building is a plus
• Interest in startups, entrepreneurship, or brand-building is a major plus

What You’ll Gain

• Direct mentorship from Remington Davenport, Founder of NYC Backgammon Club
• Real portfolio-building ownership (this will not be busy work)
• Experience scaling a national collegiate league
• High-level exposure to brand partnerships and event production
• A front-row seat to building the modern face of backgammon
