Come make the loudest content in Ohio.
Mansfield Speedway is Ohio’s ultimate destination for mayhem, horsepower, and adrenaline-fueled days and nights you’ll never forget. Dirt, noise, rivalries, wrecks, and a crowd that actually cares. It’s the most naturally cinematic subject matter you’ll ever point a camera at — and we’re looking for one person to own how the world sees it.
This is total creative ownership. No committee. No four rounds of brand approval. No legal team softening your caption. You pitch it, you shoot it, you cut it, you post it, and you watch the numbers move that same night. Most creators wait years for a job like this. We’re handing it to one person.
We want loud. We want funny. We want the video that makes somebody’s chest tight before they’ve even bought a ticket. If you’ve been sitting on ideas your last job would never have approved — bring those.
And we want it year-round. Anybody can make something on a Saturday night with cars on the cushion. We need someone who can keep this place loud on a dead Tuesday in February — 22 degrees, empty grandstand, nothing on the calendar for eight weeks. That’s the fun part of the problem, not the scary part.
The bigger picture: we’re building a track that doesn’t live and die on gate receipts alone. Audience, streaming, merch, and digital sponsorship inventory are how a track like this becomes sustainable. You’re the person who builds that audience — and the ceiling is yours to raise.
What you own from day one
- Every platform — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X. Posting, community management, comments, DMs
- The content calendar, built around the race schedule and filled through the off-season
- Shooting at the track — race nights, driver features, behind-the-scenes, promos
- Editing and producing for each platform, heavy on short-form vertical
- YouTube — race recaps, highlight packages, and driver features cut from footage you’re already capturing, plus Shorts from the same edits. Thumbnails, titles, and descriptions are yours
- Graphics — event promo art, ticket graphics, story templates, and sponsor assets built from scratch, on-brand with our guidelines
- Paid advertising — build and run the ticket campaigns, own the budget, push spend toward what converts and kill what doesn’t. Real money, real autonomy
- Sponsor social obligations — know what each sponsor is owed, build it into the calendar up front, capture the proof, and make sponsor content that doesn’t feel like an obligation
What you build from there
- The podcast — plan episodes, book guests, record on camera, edit, distribute
- Influencer outreach and brand collabs — find them, pitch them, run the activation
- PR and media — local press, racing media, cross-promotional partners
- Website and email — keep event pages and ticket links current, run email to our buyer list
- Digital revenue — merch drops built off content moments, promotion of our digital products, and the audience growth that lets us sell digital sponsorship inventory at a real rate
You won’t do all of this in month one. You’ll own the top list immediately and grow into the rest. We’d rather hire someone with room to run than someone already at their ceiling.
The schedule, honestly
This is not a 9-to-5 and we’re not going to pretend otherwise.
Race nights are long. You’ll be at the track before gates and still shooting when the last feature ends. Weekends are work. In season, the week is built around the event — shoot Saturday, cut Sunday, promote the next one Monday through Friday. Rain dates move things. Big events swallow whole weekends.
In exchange, the off-season is genuinely different. November through March you set your own rhythm, work on next season’s plan, build content banks, and take real time off. It’s a hard-and-slow cycle, not a permanent grind.
If you need predictable hours, this will make you miserable and we’d both rather know now. If you’ve worked in live events, touring, or sports and that rhythm sounds normal — you already know exactly what this is.
How you’ll be measured
Five numbers, reviewed weekly:
1. Reach and impressions across all platforms, month over month
2. Video views — total, by platform, with retention on what matters
3. Cost per ticket sold through paid social
4. Sponsor social obligations fulfilled and documented — 100%
5. Digital revenue — merch and digital sponsorship inventory, tracked monthly
You’ll always know if you’re winning.
What we’re looking for
- End-to-end content: you’ve planned it, shot it, cut it, and posted it yourself
- Range — trends, skits and bits, and cinematic hype pieces. Comedy and chills, not one or the other
- You make something from nothing. Off-season, rainout, slow week — you don’t wait for an event
- Design skill to build finished promo art from scratch. Photoshop or whatever you actually use
- Video editing: short-form vertical and longer YouTube cuts
- Hands-on Meta Ads Manager experience — built and optimized campaigns yourself, not boosted posts
- Current on the platforms. You know what’s working right now and why
- Self-starter who’s happy running their own show
- Comfortable on your feet at the track, in all weather, around a live event
Nice to have — Live event experience of any kind (sports, motorsports, concerts, festivals). Podcast or audio editing. Premiere, After Effects, Illustrator. Shopify or email platform experience. Racing knowledge is a plus, not a prerequisite — we’ll get you up to speed on the sport fast.
We care about your reel, not your resume. No degree required. If you hit most of this and the rest you’d figure out, apply.
How to apply
Two things, no cover letter:
1. Your reel or portfolio — graphics you designed, video you shot and cut. Your work, not team projects
2. Three content ideas for Mansfield Speedway — one for February, when there’s no racing. A sentence each is plenty. We’re reading for instinct, not polish
Finalists do a paid half-day trial project on a real upcoming event. We pay for your time, and it’s how we make the call.
