About Us:

EssentiallySports is a digital sports media platform serving modern fandom. Primarily aimed at serving the American audience, ES is industry leading new-age media that has multiple products and IPs under its portfolio.

Over the years, the company has evolved from a traditional content publisher into a broader media ecosystem that includes editorial coverage, creator-led IPs, newsletters, branded storytelling, and fan-engagement initiatives.

Our work today is driven by one core principle, that of building sustained relationships with audiences, not just generating one-time traffic.

Why You Should Join Us:

If you're a talented editor with a passion for sports and storytelling, we want to hear from you. Here's what makes you the perfect fit:

• Bachelor's Degree in English, Media/ Journalism, or similar discipline.
• Have 6-12 months of experience in sports content editing, proofreading, or any other similar role.
• Possess a strong command of the English language and an understanding of American culture.

• Leadership skills to inspire, guide, and mentor a team of talented writers.
• A passion for the sports, with an eagerness to cover breaking news, live events, and in-depth analyses.

As a Sports Content Editor at EssentiallySports:

You'll be editing and publishing articles each day, always keeping the high quality of EssentiallySports at the forefront.

Every article you touch will be fact-checked, well-researched, and ready to deliver value to our readers.

Your deep understanding of our audience will help you fine-tune content, enhancing its impact and relevance even after it's been published.

You'll work closely with a skilled team of writers, editors, and content managers in our fast-paced newsroom, alongside the content quality (CQ) team, to constantly refine and elevate the content we publish.

As a mentor, you'll inspire and empower writers, helping them grow and evolve as contributors to the team.

Timeliness is key-by staying on top of breaking news, you'll ensure our readers are always up-to-date as events unfold.

This role will see you working six days a week, aligning with a schedule that meets the needs of our US audience.

What's in It for You?

• Flexibility to work from anywhere in the world with our fully remote setup.
• Competitive salary based on your experience and the quality of your assessment.
• Endless growth opportunities within a fast-paced, rapidly expanding sports media company.
• Collaborative work environment with a team of passionate sports industry professionals.
