We’re hiring a Founding Football Editor (English) to lead the editorial vision for a new football newsroom. Treat this JD as a starting point – we’re looking for a builder who will set the bar for reporting quality, cadence, and packaging, and who can turn a capable organization into a repeatable playbook.
You won’t be alone. The engineering/IT, AI, and marketing/distribution teams are in place and ready to move; we also have deep relationships in the sports world. Your job is to guide the editorial direction, own the standards, and orchestrate how editorial, data, and distribution combine to grow a meaningful audience and brand authority. As we scale, you’ll help shape the hiring plan, coaching standards, and expansion playbooks for additional languages and markets.
