Job description

For our editorial team, we are looking for a true motorsport expert who is at home in the scene, knows the context, and knows which stories are worth telling. Someone who doesn't have to research motorsport to understand it, but translates their knowledge and passion into strong editorial content.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

You plan and coordinate the editorial content of our print edition - from topic planning to the final publication of the magazine.

You keep track of our topics, texts, deadlines, and the collaboration with the author and photographer.

You research and write texts, reports, interviews and other editorial contributions, also for our homepage.

You develop topic ideas, identify exciting stories, and actively contribute your expertise to the editorial planning.

You keep up with national and international racing events and know which developments, personalities, and events are relevant.

THAT'S WHAT YOU BRING WITH YOU

Thorough knowledge of motorsport:You know the scene, its actors and their connections - beyond individual racing series.

Broad knowledge of serials:From Formula 1 and WEC to DTM, GT and endurance racing, as well as national championships and historic racing series, you are expertly equipped to handle it all.

Passion for sports:You are not only interested in professional matters, but in the truest sense a fan of motorsport. You follow races, are familiar with the background, and have a sense for the stories behind the results.

Editorial expertise:You can present complex topics in an understandable way, write and edit texts safely, and plan content in a structured manner.

Organizational talent:You also keep track of multiple parallel topics and tight production deadlines.

Independence and reliability:You work in a structured way, think critically, and take responsibility for your own topics and deadlines.

A good sense of stories:You know that motorsport is more than just starting positions, race results and fastest laps.

A journalistic background or relevant professional experience is welcome. What is crucial are primarily your editorial skills, your organizational ability and your in-depth knowledge of motorsport.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE AT SLICKPIX

A responsible editorial position in an independent motorsport magazine.

The opportunity to actively contribute to the design of topics and content and to bring your own ideas to the table.

A varied work environment featuring current racing events, motorsport history, and extraordinary stories from the scene.
