Job Details

Freelance Sports Editor

Touchline is an international communications agency specialising in sport and sustainability content, and we are looking for some fantastic, creative talent to join our sports team.

Working on an ad hoc basis, this freelance role will cover a range of editorial responsibilities related to our production of written website content. Key tasks will include interviews, writing to a specific brief, delivering packages of content or campaigns to tight deadlines, editing copy to accommodate client feedback, and project management.

Your work will touch upon the latest developments related to athletes and the sports that make up the Olympic Movement, and knowledge of this sporting landscape would be a bonus. Please note, there will be no live event coverage or match reports as part of this role. All work can currently be done remotely.

It goes without saying that any interested candidates must have a strong passion for sport and experience of working in the industry.

The ideal candidate will:

  • Have excellent sub-editing and writing skills
  • Have a natural flair for language, excellent grasp of grammar and keen eye for detail
  • Be available to work on projects, some that may take several months, on an ongoing basis
  • Be skilled and confident in working to tight deadlines
  • Be comfortable communicating with clients and working in a team

All candidates must submit a cover message or letter.

We will follow up with all shortlisted candidates. No phone calls please.
