About Us
Universal Sports Auctions (also known as Elite Ink) is a Minneapolis/St. Paul-based sports memorabilia company specializing in autographed jerseys, photos, helmets, and more — with a focus on Minnesota Vikings and Wild items. Beyond memorabilia, we run a consignment auction house and an in-house framing business, and we host official autograph signing events with players from the Vikings, Wild, Twins, and other pro teams. We're best known for our 100+ silent auctions across bars, restaurants, and venues in the Twin Cities, plus a showroom and stadium presence — and we're now investing seriously in building our digital and social media presence to match.
The Role
We're hiring a Video Content Creator & Social Media Manager to build and run our brand's video and social media presence from the ground up. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who can shoot and edit professional-quality video, design sharp graphics, and run our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok accounts like a modern, fast-moving brand — think the energy, pace, and production value of brands like UNRL, Wild, Vikings, Etc.
You'll be embedded in a business with a constant stream of real content to capture: autograph signings with Vikings, Wild, and Twins players, silent auctions across the Twin Cities, and a working memorabilia and framing shop. Your job is to capture it, produce it, and turn it into a brand people actively follow.
We're looking for someone self-sufficient — who can build their own content calendar, spot opportunities, and run with them without needing to be told what to shoot next.
What You'll Do
• Shoot and edit professional-quality, brand-building video for social media, ads, and the website — both short-form and long-form
• Design graphics for social posts, promotions, and marketing materials
• Plan, post, and manage day-to-day content across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms
• Travel to Vikings, Wild, and Twins games, autograph signings, and other events to capture content
• Build and grow our online brand presence and following
• Develop and drive a content calendar and posting strategy with minimal day-to-day direction
• Partner with ownership on brand direction and campaigns
What You'll Need
• A few years of professional experience in video editing and social media management
• A strong portfolio demonstrating video editing and graphic design skills
• Proven experience running brand social accounts (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok)
• A sharp eye for brand building and content that performs
• A reliable personal vehicle — this role requires regular travel to games, signings, and events around the Twin Cities
• A self-starter mentality — comfortable setting your own priorities and workflow with limited oversight
Nice to Have (Not Required)
• Shopify / e-commerce / marketing experience
• Experience at a similar sports memorabilia, sports marketing, or apparel/brand-focused company
• Experience building promotions via text and email marketing
Schedule & Location
• Full-time, 40 hours/week
• Based in-office in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, generally Monday–Friday, with flexibility for evening and weekend games/events
• Regular travel to stadiums, venues, and signing events across the Twin Cities
• Reports directly to ownership
Compensation & Benefits
• Pay: commensurate with experience
• Paid time off (PTO)
• Employee discount
• Regular access to work alongside local professional athletes and teams — Vikings, Wild, Twins, and more
• A ground-floor opportunity to build a brand's entire digital presence and make the role your own
