Full Job Description

Social Media & Events Manager — Content Creator Wanted

WickedBall Chicago — Lombard, IL (Yorktown Center) Onsite Only | Full-Time or Part-Time | This is NOT a remote or hybrid role.

Pay — This Role Stacks

Part-Time / Trial: $17–$19/hr based on portfolio and experience
Full-Time: $35,000–$40,000 salary based on portfolio and experience
TIPS — you keep tips on events you personally work (average event ticket is $600, average tip 15%) plus a share of tips on events you manage
10% of net revenue on events YOU create — theme nights, tournaments, adult nights. The more events you build and the bigger they get, the more you make. Forever.
5% commission on every online booking made with YOUR promo code — your content converts, you get paid
$10 bonus for every booking that finds us through TikTok or YouTube
Up to $300/month in content performance bonuses tied to posting consistency and follower growth
Formal 90-day review with base pay and commission increases on the table based on your performance
Want more? Take sales calls. The right candidate can layer in full sales commissions and earn significantly more.

Realistic first-year total comp: $55,000–$70,000+ depending on how many events you work, how well your events draw, and how hard your content converts. We'll walk you through the full math in the interview — we don't surprise anyone on comp.

About Us

WickedBall Chicago is a high-energy 15,000 sq ft entertainment facility at Yorktown Center featuring bubble soccer, laser tag, archery tag, gel blasters, Nerf battles, mechanical bull, karaoke, sim racing, a 360 photo booth, and more. We host birthday parties, corporate events, school groups, and private buyouts year-round — plus mobile events at parks, schools, festivals, and corporate venues across Chicagoland.

Translation: this place is a content goldmine. Bubble soccer wipeouts. Mechanical bull fails. Nerf wars. Glow events. Every single day here is footage. We need the person who sees that and can't help but hit record.

What This Role Actually Is

This is a content-first role. Your #1 job is to take over our social media channels and run with them — organically, consistently, relentlessly. You'll own Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts end to end: filming, editing, posting, engaging, and growing.

Your #2 job is events. You'll create them, promote them, run them, and manage the team executing them — while capturing every moment on camera. The events feed the content, and the content fills the events. You own that flywheel.

What You'll Do

Content & Social (the core of the job)

Post daily across our channels — minimum 5 original videos per week
Film, edit, and publish short-form video (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) on fast turnaround
Jump on trends while they're still trending — sounds, formats, challenges
Engage with our audience daily: comments, DMs, tags, reviews, shares
Capture content at every event — parties, corporate groups, mobile events, open play
Build content series and recurring formats people come back for
Go live regularly from events, open play, and behind the scenes
Run contests, giveaways, and UGC campaigns that get customers posting about us
Land collabs with local influencers, creators, schools, and businesses
Track what's working and double down on it

Events (the other half)

Create and launch new in-house events: theme nights, tournaments, adult nights, holiday events
Handle inbound event calls — answer questions, organize details, and confirm bookings
Coordinate with clients leading up to their event so every detail is locked in
Promote every event through your content and turn attendance into more content
Run events on the floor — lead the room, manage party hosts and staff, own the energy
Support mobile events during the season, including setup, execution, and breakdown
Be hands-on: lifting equipment, setting up arenas, resetting the floor is part of the job

Who We're Looking For

First and foremost: the trending-content creator. You've grown an account — yours or a brand's. You live on TikTok and Reels, you know what hooks in the first second, and you can shoot, edit, and post a video the same day on a phone. You're comfortable going live, jumping on trends, and making content that feels native to the feed — not like an ad.

If you're a polished commercial-quality producer instead, we still want to hear from you — but speed, volume, and trend instincts win here over production value.

Either way, you also need to be someone who can lead people and run a live event — this is not a sit-behind-a-laptop job. You're on the floor, in the action, camera in hand.

Requirements

A portfolio link is REQUIRED with your application — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or a reel of work you personally created. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
Proven ability to shoot and edit short-form video (CapCut, Premiere, or similar)
Comfortable on camera and comfortable directing others on camera
Experience leading a team, shift, or event (or clear ability to)
Available evenings and weekends — that's when our customers are here
Able to lift 40+ lbs and be on your feet during events
Valid driver's license (mobile events)

What This Role Is NOT

NOT a gig, contract, or freelance arrangement. Do not pitch us. We are not hiring an agency, a contractor, or an outside content creator. This is an IN-HOUSE, on-site employee position. Agencies and freelancers pitching services will not receive a response.
NOT remote or hybrid. You're onsite in Lombard. The content is here, so you're here.
NOT a 9-to-5. Evenings and weekends are our prime time and yours.
NOT a quota-carrying sales role. We have a sales team. You'll handle event calls and confirmations, and for the right person this can grow into a commissioned sales role — but content comes first, always.
NOT a "schedule some posts and go home" job. We want a creator, not a scheduler.

Why This Job Is Actually Awesome

Full creative ownership of a brand's voice and channels — your portfolio will explode
Endless built-in content: 15,000 sq ft of attractions and events every week
Your own promo code — when your content books events, commission hits YOUR check
Tips on every event you work, plus 10% of net revenue on every event you create
Bonuses tied directly to YOUR results — when your content grows, your check grows
Small, tight-knit team that works hard and genuinely has fun
Free play privileges — yes, you can ride the bull

Pay: $35,000.00 - $70,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
Employee discount
Flexible schedule
Paid time off

Application Question(s):

Is your availability open? If not, what restrictions do you have?
What type of event(s) would you want to create or bring to the table to bring in revenue?
Why should we hire you?
Can you lift 40+ lbs and be on your feet during events?
Paste a link to social media content you personally created and managed. (Required, deal-breaker if blank)

Do you have a valid license and car?
