About The Position

As junior content specialist, you will write multiple daily blog posts about Philadelphia sports, regional culture, legal sports betting, and prediction markets. You will contribute to our social media platforms while looking for unique and creative story angles that other outlets aren't pursuing. Expect to attend local events with some regularity, not as a beat writer, but as a flexible jack-of-all-trades who can identify the offbeat things that make the region unique.
This job requires personality, levity, and a fan-first approach to sports. We're looking for an assertive grinder who loves Philly sports - someone who is a self-starter with a strong work ethic. The hire will have a lot of creative freedom in this job and the opportunity to generate and pitch their own ideas while working with a small staff that has carved out a niche foothold in a competitive space.
