About EliteEdge Tipsters

EliteEdge Tipsters is a growing UK sports betting content and tipping brand focused primarily on horse racing and football.

We have built an audience of more than 65,000 followers across our social media platforms and are now looking for someone to take ownership of our day-to-day marketing and help move the brand into its next stage of growth.

This is more than an occasional editing or social media support position. We are looking for someone who can plan, create, present and publish content while developing new ideas to grow the EliteEdge brand.

The successful applicant will initially work closely with the founder to understand the business, its audience and its tone. As they become familiar with the brand, they will be expected to take increasing responsibility for the marketing operation and work independently.

The Role

You will manage and develop EliteEdge Tipsters’ presence across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts and X.

Content will primarily focus on horse racing, football, betting results, sporting talking points and the continued promotion and growth of the EliteEdge service.

You will be expected to understand what works on each platform, bring your own ideas and react quickly to live sporting events.

A key part of the position will be helping to put a recognisable personality behind EliteEdge. Applicants should therefore be comfortable appearing on camera or genuinely interested in developing their presenting skills.

Main Responsibilities

• Plan and manage the weekly social media content schedule
• Create short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
• Write engaging hooks, scripts, captions and calls to action
• Present selected videos and become a recognisable part of the brand
• Edit short-form videos using CapCut or similar software
• Turn horse racing and football results into engaging social content
• Create posts around selections, results, race replays and sporting stories
• Publish content consistently across all main social platforms
• Adapt content appropriately for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X
• React quickly to live racing, football and relevant breaking sports stories
• Develop new content ideas, formats and marketing campaigns
• Monitor engagement, reach, follower growth and content performance
• Produce a short weekly report covering results and future improvements
• Help develop the voice, personality and visual direction of EliteEdge
• Follow responsible gambling, advertising and platform guidelines

What We Are Looking For

• A strong understanding of social media and short-form content
• A genuine interest in football, horse racing, betting or sports media
• Experience creating content for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts or X
• Strong writing skills and the ability to produce natural, engaging copy
• Video-editing ability, ideally using CapCut
• Confidence working quickly around live sporting events
• Strong organisation and reliability
• The ability to work independently and take ownership of projects
• Someone who brings ideas rather than waiting for daily instructions
• A good understanding of sports culture, online humour and social trends
• Comfort appearing on camera or a willingness to develop as a presenter

Desirable Experience

• Previous experience managing a sports-related social media account
• Knowledge of UK horse racing
• Experience creating football or betting content
• Previous presenting or on-camera experience
• Experience growing social media accounts organically
• Canva or basic graphic-design experience
• Experience using social media analytics
• Familiarity with responsible gambling marketing requirements

Working Pattern

This is a fully remote position, but applicants must be based in the UK.

The position will initially involve approximately 15–25 hours per week, with the opportunity for increased hours and responsibility as the role develops.

Some flexibility will be required because content will often be based around live horse racing, football matches and sporting results. This may include occasional evening and weekend work.

The long-term expectation is that the successful applicant will take ownership of the day-to-day marketing operation with limited supervision.

How to Apply

Please apply with:

• Your CV
• Links to previous videos, social media accounts or content you have created
• A brief explanation of your experience with sports and social media
• Details of the platforms and editing software you have used
• Confirmation of whether you are comfortable appearing on camera
• A short explanation of why this particular role interests you

Applications will initially be assessed using the applicant’s CV, previous experience and existing portfolio.

Important

This role involves creating marketing content connected to sports betting. All content must be accurate, responsible and compliant with relevant advertising and platform guidelines.

The successful applicant will not be responsible for selecting bets. Their responsibility will be to turn the information, selections and results supplied by EliteEdge Tipsters into professional, engaging and effective marketing content.
