Overtime, the leading voice in sports for Gen Z and beyond is hiring Editors for their long-form content team! In short, this is an excellent opportunity for a visionary editor who craves the autonomy to tell strong stories. While there will be support from the team, our Executive Producers strive to create an environment where editors are not bogged down with notes and frivolous requests. Instead, we want to keep the ball rolling and publish content our creators believe will resonate with our audience. Our team is currently working remotely, so you’ll start out working from home, and eventually transition to working in our New York office when it reopens to the whole staff.
