Responsibilities

Set content distribution objectives in alignment with company goals, trends, and audience behavior.
Own and oversee FOX Sports Digital’s custom AI Newsroom suite of tools (including automated alerts, metadata, descriptions, and transcription services).
Establish and maintain a content roadmap: past learnings → current execution → future opportunities.
Identify Small / Medium / Large (S/M/L) content buckets to think deeper, not wider.
Master internal and external AI tools (Claude, Automated Alerts Platform, AI Newsroom, Gemini) to streamline processes.
Own the content dissemination strategy across channels (alerts, newsletters, syndication partners, internal comms, etc.).
Optimize cadence, format, and messaging based on platform algorithms, audience behavior, and content performance data.
Set up AI agents to monitor performance and make recommendations.
Conduct competitive audits and real-time social listening backed by AI to detect emerging themes and whitespace opportunities.
Synthesize data into actionable insights and pivot plans quickly based on what’s resonating.
Act as the connective tissue between sports and other teams (social, screening, etc.).
Partner with the manager of content distribution and the deputy editor to identify priorities and timelines, ensuring content is optimized for distribution from the start.
Fill gaps where needed — can jump in to write copy, edit headlines, edit stories, etc.
Provide “bench strength” when fire drills arise, or bandwidth is tight.
