Social Media Output Editor

We are looking for an Output Editor to work on our social media accounts and channels to help Sky Sports, Sky Sports News and Football Daily stay ahead of the competition for live sport coverage, breaking news and delivery of social-first content.

The role of the Output Editor is to oversee the production and publication of market-leading social media content and ensure both consistency and timely publication across Sky Sports social media accounts and channels.

As the most senior role with a publishing remit, you will manage a group of Social Media Journalists, working closely alongside them, while also liaising with the Content Production and Design and Sports Content teams, including commissioning content.

Alongside overseeing output and delegating publishing duties, the role will also involve publishing content directly where necessary, working across all sports and news.

We've adopted a hybrid working approach to give more flexibility on where and how we work. The hybrid working expectations for this role are 3 days in the office per week.
