Platform Editor

What's your new role about?
Are you a skilled editor with a passion for sports? Do you have a hyper-accurate eye for detail and a strong instinct for what engages an audience? DAZN may be the place for you!

As Platform Editor at DAZN you will work under the Chief Editors and Team Lead, publishing content, organising the app across multiple territories and ensuring flawless live playout of events. You'll get to work on some really exciting projects across the major US sports leagues, so knowledge or understanding of these leagues would be a major advantage.

You will be responsible for editorial maintenance of the app on both the front and back end; therefore, accuracy is key. It is crucial that you can pick the right line and image to tell the story, and that you are able to prioritise content by what will appeal to a user most.

The role can be based anywhere on the East Coast of the US, working remotely, and will work on a shift pattern, with some evening and weekend hours to be expected.
As our new Platform Editor, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Engage a worldwide audience
• Sub-edit and compose written content, plus promote our content in the strongest ways possible on the platform
• Dictate the look and feel of the app
• Deliver content to subscribers by maintaining the DAZN app, monitoring key metadata across a stacked schedule, plus highlights and replays
• Contribute and execute ideas for key rights and major events
• Take ownership of specific sections/major rights and report in directly to chief editors

You'll have:

• Experience picking out errors in spelling and grammar.
• Ability to watch an interview and pick out the killer headline every time. You know what lines sports fans will click on
• Fantastic knowledge of US sports
• Extremely strong attention to detail
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment, or in sports previously
• A knowledge of the OTT/sports broadcasting landscape
• A working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud
