THE ROLE: 

FloSports is seeking a Sr. Manager, Content, to lead editorial strategy and a team of content creators that support our Track vertical, which includes the FloTrack and MileSplit brands.

A Sr. Manager leads by leveraging their knowledge of the broader sports media landscape and deep understanding of track and field, cross country, and other forms of competitive running to analyze data, glean takeaways, and channel those insights into content strategies that support our business goals.  

To execute those strategies, the Sr. Manager works with a team of subject matter experts who create content and execute coverage tactics that grow and engage our audiences and fuel our KPIs. The role requires someone who knows how to manage creative employees and allocate resources—budget, headcount, time, internal/external assets, etc.—to maximize impact.

RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Manage a team of content creators that develops great digital content, both written and video, from the idea phase to publishing.

• Manage relationships with key internal and external stakeholders across departments—including digital marketing, rights acquisition, product, sales, partner success, etc.—to enhance alignment around business goals. 
• Seek, utilize and manage the best staff and freelancers you can find and guide them to create killer content.

• You are an authority on track and field and competitive running, and you’re obsessive about staying on top of the latest developments. 
• Experience in a similar role managing creative/editorial employees—preferably, within the sports media space. 
• Experience with content analytics and demonstrated ability to apply takeaways that inform strategy. 
• Experience creating engaging content for social media and a working knowledge of monetization for these channels. Understanding when and how to leverage our live offering (distributing streams to social, identifying cross-posting opportunities, etc.) and replay library (highlight packages, featured moments, throwback videos, etc.) will be a key function of this role.  
• Highly organized, self-motivated and adaptable to change. 
• You're a fantastic editor, and know AP Style in and out. Grammar mistakes drive you crazy. 
• Proficient with Content Management Systems (CMS), core and emergent social media platforms, and web/OTT content best practices.
