Heavy, a leading sports news and information website, is looking to partner with a hard-charging freelance editor to oversee the publishing, creative development and expansion of its daily fantasy sports (DFS) newsletter, dfsPro Daily.

Successful candidates should be able to demonstrate:

- Deep understanding of DFS, its users, fantasy stats and platforms
- Wide-ranging knowledge across major U.S. leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc.)
- Experience with professional sports coverage, newsletters and/or copy editing
- Proven ability to vet, verify and confirm information
- Openness to AI, new technology and a data-first approach
- Strong multi-tasking, organization, communication and creative skills
**Bonus points for experience with basic graphic design tools (i.e. Canva) and/or email marketing platforms (i.e. Campaign Monitor).
Work autonomously and remotely.
