About Code Eleven 
Code Eleven builds and operates the properties where the best young athletes in America are discovered — Elite 11 (the definitive quarterback showcase for two decades), Area Code Baseball (amateur baseball’s premier summer showcase since 1987), and The Opening (top football recruits at Nike’s world headquarters). Code Eleven Studio is the content engine on top of those events: film, series, live programming, and the social channels that reach millions of fans, recruits, coaches, and college programs each year. 

The Role 
You’ll help run social media across Code Eleven’s properties — Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook for Elite 11, Area Code Baseball, The Opening, and more as the portfolio grows. Working alongside the Studio team, you’ll cut assets, publish posts, track performance, and help coordinate other interns and event-day staff. It’s a hands-on role with real responsibility and room to grow. 

What You’ll Do 
  • Manage day-to-day publishing across all platforms and properties, keeping each brand’s voice distinct but consistent 
  • Handle community management — comments, DMs, and interactions with athletes, families, coaches, and college programs 
  • Help build and hold the annual social calendar and weekly publishing schedule, in step with the Studio’s broader content grid 
  • Create and publish original assets — short-form video, graphics, motion, stills — including same-day turnaround during events 
  • Maintain brand templates and asset libraries so quality holds at volume 
  • Track the numbers (reach, engagement, growth, watch time, retention), test formats and hooks deliberately, and report what you learn 
  • Execute sponsored deliverables to spec and capture the assets and metrics partnership teams need 
  • Support on-site event coverage — help build shot lists, coordinate footage, and edit and publish in real time from the field 
  • Help coordinate other interns and event-day content staff, reviewing work before it goes out 

Who You Are 

Required 
  • Strong, demonstrable command of the Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Lightroom) 
  • Native fluency in Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook — what actually performs on each today 
  • Referenceable accounts you’ve personally run (personal, brand, team, school, or freelance all count) 
  • Ability to plan, schedule, and execute a content calendar across multiple brands 
  • Strong writing — captions that sound like the brand, not like a marketer 
  • Comfort with analytics and the discipline to let data change your mind 
  • Able to work in our Torrance office 5 days/week, with weekend availability and willingness to travel during event season 
  • Genuine interest in football, baseball, and the recruiting landscape 

Preferred 
  • Live-event or same-day content workflow experience 
  • Motion and sound design chops 
  • Familiarity with scheduling/analytics tools (Sprout Social, Zoomph, Hootsuite, or similar) 
  • Understanding of sponsored content and brand-safety standards 
  • Experience mentoring other creators, and knowledge of the high school and college athlete landscape
