About Us
Powered by one of the largest global newsrooms in sports media, The Athletic brings sports fans the most comprehensive stories about the teams, sports and athletes they love. The Athletic’s newsroom of 450+ full-time staff delivers in-depth coverage of hundreds of professional and college teams across more than 47 North American markets and all 20 football clubs in the English Premier League, as well as many Championship clubs.
About the Role
The Athletic is looking for an audience-focused Social Media Associate with a keen interest in sports journalism to help grow our reach across emerging and established platforms. In this role, you'll identify opportunities to connect our journalism with sports fans, package editorial content for off-platform audiences and drive referral traffic back to The Athletic. You'll have a curiosity and willingness to understand how platforms work, shift and what new trends exist in the social media audience space. The ideal candidate has a passion for media and football in particular, strong editorial instincts and a penchant for experimenting with new ways to grow audiences. This hybrid role will be based in London.
