Vox Media’s SB Nation is the fastest-growing online sports media brand and the largest network of more than 300 individual fan-centric sports communities, including SBNation.com, our national flagship property.

Outsports, the SB Nation blog covering sports from an LGBTQ perspective, is looking for a new Manager.  The Manager would be responsible for the following duties:

  • Making sure the site is publishing every day, covering issues relevant to sports fans and athletes in the LGBTQ community from a variety of perspectives, and at a volume high enough for the site to continue to grow but with flexibility to work at your own pace and convenience.
  • Facilitate management and growth of the site’s social media channels.
  • Oversee contributors that cover LGBTQ sports news on the site, and edit stories for publication.
  • Communicate with SB Nation about site goals, traffic, and progress.
  • Moderating and maintaining a vibrant, welcoming site community.

Our best Manager candidates will:

  • Have a passion for the subject matter and already be familiar with SB Nation’s voice and standards.
  • Have a familiarity with existing coverage in the space.
  • Understand how to use popular social media networks, like Twitter and Facebook, and be willing to adapt to new best practices.
  • Be able to produce and edit clean copy.
  • Be able to cultivate an online community of passionate sports fans.
  • Have the organizational skills to manage multiple people.
  • Be comfortable working remotely.
