Have Digital Expertise? Love Triathlon? Come Work With Us!

Want to spend your work days talking about triathlon? Go deep on social media? Know everything about SEO and digital production?

Good news! We’re hiring a digital editor for Triathlete.

Our digital editor is the point-person for digital strategy and production—from SEO optimization to helping craft wide-reaching social campaigns. They’re the primary person responsible for the day-to-day operations on Triathlete’s website. This includes knowledge and execution of digital best practices, such as SEO and data-driven strategies, the pace and volume of a modern edit operation, and top-level headline and packaging skills.

The ideal candidate must have thorough digital knowledge, be excited about continuously growing that knowledge, and be proactive about utilizing across Triathlete’s new and archival content. This will require an in-depth understanding of analytics and a willingness to use data to drive daily, weekly, and monthly content decisions. They must also understand the various social and email platforms, and have ideas about how to best use them to reach and grow the Triathlete audience.

In addition to managing the overall digital workflow, the digital editor is responsible for owning a portion of the daily editorial assigning, writing, and editing, and should have a knowledge of (and love for!) the triathlon and endurance sports space.

With multiple content projects happening across platforms, you’ll need to be hyper-organized, calm under (deadline) pressure, and a great team player. Plus, we think we have fun!
