Sydney, Australia | Australian Baseball League (ABL)

The Sydney Blue Sox are seeking a passionate and creative Content Creator / Videographer to join our media team for the 2026/27 Australian Baseball League season.

This is an opportunity to spend an Australian summer embedded within a professional baseball organisation, helping tell the story of one of the country’s most exciting sports teams through short-form video, social media, and fan-focused digital content.

We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes modern sports content - someone who understands how to capture emotion, entertainment, atmosphere, and personality in a way that connects with audiences online.

While videography and editing are the primary focus of this role, we’re also looking for someone comfortable operating across broader social media and content responsibilities, including posting content, writing captions, creating Instagram Stories, basic photo editing and graphics, and understanding how content should differ across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

This role works closely with Ever Brands (our digital marketing agency leading strategy and content development), Barefoot Media Productions (our long-form production partners), the ABL media team, Sydney Blue Sox staff, interns, players, and coaches.

About the Sydney Blue Sox & Australian Baseball League

The Sydney Blue Sox compete in the Australian Baseball League (ABL), Australia’s premier professional baseball competition featuring domestic and international talent, including current and former MLB, MiLB, NCAA, and national team athletes.

Based in Sydney, Australia’s largest city, the Blue Sox are focused on building a high-energy sports and entertainment brand that connects baseball with culture, community, and unforgettable game day experiences.

Our content style is fast-paced, entertaining, emotional, and social-first - designed to appeal to both hardcore baseball fans and casual audiences discovering the sport for the first time.
