Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Market Curation Editor (Sports) based in Spain.

This role offers an opportunity to bring expert sports knowledge and human judgment to a fast-moving product data operation supporting a social-predictions platform. You will review and refine automatically generated sports prediction markets, ensuring they are accurate, clear, timely, and properly resolvable. The position combines sports expertise, editorial precision, live-event awareness, and structured decision-making under firm deadlines. You will evaluate markets across professional and collegiate sports while applying league-specific rules and settlement conventions. Beyond reviewing generated content, you will proactively identify gaps, monitor live events, and surface markets that automated systems may have missed. This is an ideal role for someone deeply engaged with current sports who can make precise, defensible decisions in a dynamic environment.

Accountabilities:

• Review daily queues of system-generated sports markets against defined completion deadlines, evaluating each market associated with an event.
• Assess candidate markets for factual accuracy, clarity, timing, and whether their resolution criteria can be reliably adjudicated using authoritative sources.
• Verify market opening and closing times against scheduled events, including adjustments for delays and other changes.
• Apply appropriate league-specific settlement conventions covering overtime, shootouts, postponements, abandonments, minimum-play requirements, and official statistical corrections.
• Review markets against applicable content policies and community standards, escalating ambiguous or sensitive cases when necessary.
• Approve, edit, or reject candidate markets and record structured, accurate reasons for every decision.
• Rewrite questions and resolution language to make them precise, unambiguous, and aligned with how sports fans naturally discuss events.
• Create timestamped clarifications when ambiguity arises during live markets and resolve settlement exceptions that automated data feeds cannot address.
• Proactively monitor live markets for visible issues and track schedules, team news, breaking developments, and relevant social channels to identify events or markets missed by automated systems.
• Participate in regular calibration reviews to maintain consistency with editorial guidelines and other curators.
• Contribute to maintaining high standards for decision quality, reason quality, market wording, and proactive market discovery.

Requirements:

• At least 3 years of experience in sports trading, sports data operations, sports journalism, editorial work, or a comparable role requiring strong current sports expertise.
• Demonstrable and up-to-date knowledge of professional and collegiate sports across major leagues, with an active understanding of current events rather than solely historical knowledge.
• Strong familiarity with sports culture, breaking news, trades, free agency, and sports-focused social media.
• Working knowledge of official rules and settlement conventions across major sports leagues, including authoritative sources for results and statistics.
• Proven ability to make sound judgments on complex cases involving suspended or abandoned events, statistical corrections, disputed outcomes, and ambiguous official rulings.
• Ability to quickly interpret authoritative sources and reach clear, defensible conclusions.
• Exceptional written communication and editorial precision, with the ability to write rules and resolution criteria that remain unambiguous after an outcome is known.
• Comfortable working within established policies and guidelines, with the judgment to elevate uncertain situations rather than make unsupported assumptions.
• Highly organized and able to consistently meet strict daily deadlines.
• Flexible availability for evening, overnight, and weekend work when required by live sporting events.
• Experience with prediction markets, sportsbooks, exchanges, or daily fantasy sports platforms is a plus.
• Background in sports journalism or experience developing guidelines, style guides, rulebooks, or annotation standards is desirable.
• Familiarity with content policies, moderation frameworks, or editorial standards is an advantage.

Benefits:

• Fully remote work arrangement.
• Opportunity to contribute to a new social-predictions product during its beta phase.
• Six-month engagement supporting a high-impact product data operations team, with potential for continued work as the product evolves.
• Opportunity to apply deep sports expertise to an emerging technology-driven environment.
• Exposure to automated content-generation workflows and the human quality layer required to make them reliable.
• Dynamic work involving live sporting events, current sports news, and real-time decision-making.
• Opportunity to contribute product quality through editorial judgment, structured feedback, and proactive market discovery.
