You will be writing for popular newsletters with tens to hundreds of thousands of readers, ghostwriting X threads and linkedin posts for our founder, and overseeing the social content for the brands in the portfolio.

We want to be "ringing the bell" and celebrating a new viral post every day. We have the readers, followers and distribution partners, YOU will bring the content that makes people want to stay + read (and hopefully leave feeling like they got a ton of value).

The right candidate will be working closely with our founder as the first hire and lead writer for a newly formed media business, learning from an executive who recently built and sold his sports media business for tens of millions of dollars.

The right candidate is already proven to be a great writer, but also has great energy and ambition to grow in other areas like business development as well. A true creator with genuine passion and internal drive to be great.

Responsibilities :

• Develop, market and send newsletter editions
• Write sports and finance newsletters, twitter threads and linkedin posts, among other content
• Ghostwrite X threads, linkedin posts and other formats for the founder and potentially future ambassadors
• Manage other writers and designers, editing their content as needed
• Lead other various business related tasks related to the role such as doing research, sending email or direct message outreach, and similar administrative or business development tasks

Requirements :

• South Florida (Boca area) locals preferred, remote accepted for incredible candidates with strong organization and communication skills.
• Must be fluent in English and a great writer.
• We don’t care if you have a college degree or not, but certifications and work samples help!
• Absolutely must be a culture fit with great energy, unshakeable work ethic and reliability.
• Experience with Twitter / X threads and newsletters are major pluses!

To stand out amongst the applicants, we highly recommend including a custom writing sample with a sports, sports business or finance topic. Find a way to show your research quality, creativity and work ethic.
