About The Position

Since 2006, Flashscore has been the fastest name in sports information. Our websites and apps reach 120 million people every month across the globe, making us a world leader in live sports data. Over the past four years, we've expanded into sports news, working with independent journalists across more than 30 markets. We're now looking for a freelance journalist to cover Italian sports news for our Italian-language editorial project — someone who knows Italian sport inside out and wants to write for a genuinely global audience.

Requirements

• Strong knowledge of Italian sport — football, tennis, athletics and beyond — plus a good grasp of major international events
• Complete fluency in Italian (C2 level or equivalent), both written and spoken, with excellent writing and communication skills
• Experience working in a CMS (WordPress or similar) and standard office tools (MS Office, Google Workspace)
• A reliable, self-organized way of working, with strong ownership of your own output
• Good judgment and composure when things move fast around live sporting events
• A genuine passion for sport and sports journalism

Responsibilities

• Follow sports news in Italy and around the world, and turn it into stories
• Write and edit content in Italian and publish it through our CMS
• Take ownership of the accuracy, timeliness and quality of your work
• Source appropriate photos to accompany your stories
• Coordinate with the wider Flashscore News network on coverage
• Contribute ideas on content, angles and how the project can improve

Benefits

• A long-term freelance collaboration, working as a self-employed contractor
• Coverage organized into shift slots (mainly evenings and weekends, around live sporting events) — you choose which slots to take on
• An average workload of roughly 20 hours per week, depending on the slots you take
• The freedom to take on other clients or projects alongside this collaboration
• The chance to contribute to an ambitious, international sports news project reaching millions of readers worldwide
