Founded in 2012, LADbible Group is redefining entertainment and news for a social generation. Our global community engages with our content–spanning editorial, video, documentary and live – we reach 1 billion people each and every month. Our mission is to give the youth generation a voice by building communities that laugh, think and act. Using all major platforms, we’ve rapidly risen to become one of the world's largest publishers.
SPORTbible is looking for a News Editor to help lead the next stage of our editorial growth.
Reporting to the Brand Editor, you'll shape our daily sports agenda across web and social - deciding what we cover, how we cover it, and what makes fans stop scrolling.
This is hands-on. Covering the biggest stories is only part of the job; the real question is always what SPORTbible can add. The detail others missed. The thing fans actually want explained. The follow-up nobody else chased.
We're moving towards fewer, stronger, more distinctive stories. You'll lead that shift, and help the journalists around you make it.
The role
-
Lead the daily agenda across football, F1, boxing, MMA, golf and tennis
-
Commission, edit and publish accurate, engaging, legally sound journalism
-
Find the angle beyond the headline when news breaks elsewhere
-
Think 360° — web, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, WhatsApp, Search, Discover
-
Work with social editors on packaging that earns the click and rewards it
-
Use audience data to sharpen commissioning, not chase old traffic
-
Coach journalists through editing, feedback and honest conversations about ideas
You'll need
-
Five years plus in a newsroom or digital publishing, ideally with editing or commissioning responsibility
-
Excellent sports news judgement and strong football knowledge
-
A proven eye for original angles on big stories
-
Strong headline writing and digital packaging
-
Real fluency across social platforms, Search and Discover
-
Confidence with tools like Google Analytics, Chartbeat and NewsWhip
-
A sound grasp of media law, sourcing and verification
