Monitor and moderate live engagement across digital platforms during NFL, NBA, and other sporting events

Engage with German-speaking fans in real time using the appropriate brand voice and tone

Respond naturally to fan comments, reactions, questions, and conversations

Experience moderating live sports or entertainment events

Workspace Requirements:

A dedicated laptop or desktop

Minimum of 8 GB RAM

Project Hours & Commitment:
