Role Overview
We’re on the hunt for a football-obsessed freelancer to join SPORTbible for a 6-month project driving some of our most exciting partnerships yet: within our football reactive newsroom.
This is a unique opportunity to lead a social-first content engine that taps into real-time football moments, using your editorial instincts and creative flair to build something fresh, reactive and culturally on-point.
You’ll be working at the heart of SPORTbible’s editorial team, but with a clear commercial lens - plugged into multiple brand partnership projects and working closely with both our social, commercial and project management teams to make the projects fly.
What the opportunity looks like
* Leading the day-to-day of 2-3 brand partnerships, all focussed on reactive football content
* Tracking games, news, trends and online chatter around key games
* Spotting and jumping on moments where these specific brands can authentically show up in real-time
* Creating and publishing social-first static assets on SPORTbible Instagram (basic design/editing skills required – video not necessary)
* Developing reactive ideas that spark conversation and deliver value for the clients
* Liaising directly with the SPORTbible commercial team and other internal stakeholders
* Helping shape a best-in-class reactive model that can be scaled to future partners
* Working flexibly, including evenings/weekends to cover key fixtures and events
Skills and experience we're looking for
* Deep football knowledge and passion - you’re glued to the game and the group chat
* Proven experience in social media, ideally within sport and with major brands
* Creative mindset with a sharp editorial eye and confidence in ideation
* Basic design skills (e.g. Canva, Adobe Express, Photoshop) to create static assets
* Ability to spot trends, seize opportunities and react quickly
* Comfortable balancing editorial instincts with commercial goals
* A confident communicator who can work cross-functionally and directly with clients
* Flexible availability to work around the football calendar
