About Squads Game

Squads Game is the next-generation fan engagement platform for sports lovers. We’re building Africa’s most loved fantasy sports and fan engagement platform, redefining what it means to be both a casual and non-casual football fan engaged in sports gaming & entertainment.

As the sports landscape evolves, fans are becoming just as passionate about individual players as they are about entire teams, and we’ve built an experience around that shift.

With over 250,000 users and counting, we’re on a mission to make fan participation more fun, rewarding, easy, and accessible, powered by data, driven by passion, knowledge, and skill. The people who make this happen are fun, smart, and creative. If that sounds like you, we want you on our team!

About Role

We’re seeking a creative and strategic Content Marketer to lead our content strategy and drive meaningful brand engagement across all touchpoints. You must be a creative lunatic and an exceptional out-of-the-box thinker. We’re built differently, and so is the brand. This role is all about shaping our voice, telling compelling stories, building community, and generating real business results through innovative content strategies. As a content marketer, you'll be responsible for crafting and overseeing high-impact content that resonates with our audience and drives awareness, engagement, and conversion. This goes far beyond just creating blog posts or email or social media posts—it's about building a content engine that sparks emotion, fuels conversation, and turns a curious audience into loyal fans. The ideal candidate is a creative who understands the sports & football culture, who is funny, understands meme culture, is deeply in tune with engaging digital media culture, can come up with strategies that spark conversation and build communities, and who knows how to connect creative thinking with data-driven insight. You should be comfortable owning our content calendar, collaborating across teams, and maintaining a consistent brand voice across all channels—from writing all kinds of copy, to emails, in-app content, and social storytelling.
