RESPONSIBILITIES

Create great web content, in both written and video form, from the idea phase to publishing.

Spotlight the sport's top athletes and personalities with interesting stories.

Travel around the world to cover live events. You'll interview athletes, write previews and recaps and feature the biggest stories of each event.

Collaborate with your team in content creation meetings to come up with plans that attract the community and make them want to stick around for more. You'll listen to your audience and adjust your plans accordingly.

Handle multiple content projects at once because you're a multi-tasking machine who can be relied on.

Be a news hound who stays on top of every story and news item to ensure you provide comprehensive coverage of the sport.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES

You are an authority on the sport and obsessive about staying on top of the latest developments.

You are an innovator who loves to come up with creative new ways to develop and present content, particularly when it comes to video projects. 

You love your camera—both being behind the lens and in front of it—and are just as good at vlogging as you are shooting interviews with high-profile athletes.

You are creative and analytical. You enjoy coming up with unique takes on stories and refuse to do something that has been done before. You thrive on taking an idea and making it a reality.

You're a social media savant. You know how to write creative and engaging tweets that burn like fire in your community.

You work well with management, but you’re also more than capable of doing stuff on your own.

You wake up each day looking for a win. You can't wait to create new ideas and then execute them to perfection. You are competitive and driven to be the best.

You have a bachelor's degree from a four-year college.

DESIRED

Highly organized, self-motivated and adaptable to change.

Expertise in video—from editing vlogs to producing and directing mini-documentaries.

Knowledge of HTML, photo editing tools (e.g. Photoshop, Pixelmator) and MS Office.

Knowledge of AP Style is preferred.
