Digital and Editorial Content Specialist

We are looking for an Editorial and Digital Content Specialist who splits time evenly between producing strong editorial content and working hand in hand with the digital team on how that content, and the platforms it lives on, actually function. This isn't a writing role with some SEO on the side: it's a role built around the handoff between editorial and digital, making sure both sides are pulling in the same direction. Day to day, that means writing and editing news, game coverage, and storytelling, and just as often, sitting with the digital team to work through site and app improvements, test new features, troubleshoot how content displays, and push forward SEO and on-page changes that require going back and forth with developers and product owners. This role supports the Editorial Lead on the digital side of the operation, helping carry the day-to-day coordination with Digital and Product so that editorial priorities translate into actual site and app changes. Euroleague Basketball's audience spans more than 20 markets, each following its own clubs closely, from Zalgiris Kaunas in Lithuania to Real Madrid in Spain to Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul in Turkiye. This role will work across that full competitive landscape, while also helping flag and follow up on web or app issues as they come up day to day. Reporting to the Editorial Lead, this role works closely with the wider editorial team, and equally closely with Digital and Product, acting as the connective tissue between what editorial wants to publish and what the platforms can support.

• Strong writing and editing skills, with the discipline to follow established style guides and templates closely.
