The Publisher Desk is currently seeking a Sports Editor to join our team at Sportsnaut.com. This is a remote working position.

What we're looking for is a sports editor who also writes that has a fresh eye and the experience of elevating a good cut to a great one. A seasoned editor who’s socially oriented and has linguistic flair. The NFL is the main vertical you'd be working on every day while dabbling in other major sports. Passion and knowledge of the NFL - the players, the teams, the gameplay - is critical to the role.

• Import Sportsnaut content into our newsletter template and schedule for morning send

• Knowledge of delivering to social media platforms such as Twitter & Facebook

• Ability to perform under tight deadlines and high-pressure environment

• Highly developed interpersonal skills and time management skills

• Self-motivated and willing to take initiative with the ability to work independently
