JOB DESCRIPTION

FOX Sports Digital is looking for an AI Newsroom Editor of Content Distribution to join the editorial team in our Los Angeles office. You are both the driver of execution and the navigator of strategy among our editorial content and content distribution, particularly around AI initiatives. You attack with direction, not just motion — knowing where the brand has been, where it is, and where it needs to go. You’re a thinker-doer who can zoom out to build macro-level strategy based on insights (data, social listening, competitive analysis, AI tools), then zoom in to execute tactically, willing to step in directly when needed, like a free safety or utility player. You will help the Manager of Content Distribution to oversee all O&O content distribution for the biggest events and moments in sports with an emphasis on FOX, FS1, and league partners, while utilizing the latest technology and AI enhancements to unlock insights and efficiencies.

A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Strategic Planning & Direction

• Set content distribution objectives in alignment with company goals, trends, and audience behavior
• Ownership and oversight of FOX Sports Digital’s custom AI Newsroom suite of tools (including but not limited to: automated alerts, metadata, descriptions, and transcription services)
• Establish and maintain a content roadmap: past learnings → current execution → future opportunities
• Identify Small / Medium / Large (S/M/L) content buckets to think deeper, not wider
• Master internal and external AI tools (Claude, Automated Alerts Platform, AI Newsroom, Gemini) to streamline processes

Content Distribution Oversight

• Own the content dissemination strategy across channels (alerts, newsletters, syndication partners, internal comms, etc.)
• Optimize cadence, format, and messaging based on platform algorithms, audience behavior, and content performance data
• Set up AI agents to monitor performance and make recommendations

Intelligence & Insights Hub

• Conduct competitive audits and real-time social listening backed by AI to detect emerging themes and whitespace opportunities
• Synthesize data into actionable insights and pivot plans quickly based on what’s resonating

Cross-Functional Support & Team Enablement

• Act as the connective tissue between sports and other teams (social, screening, etc.)
• Partner with the manager of content distribution and the deputy editor to identify priorities and timelines, ensuring content is optimized for distribution from the start

Executional Flexibility

• Fill gaps where needed — can jump in to write copy, edit headlines, edit stories, etc.
• Provide “bench strength” when fire drills arise, or bandwidth is tight

What You Will Need:

• 3+ years of experience in audience engagement in a newsroom environment
• Strong interest in and knowledge of sports across verticals
• Intense knowledge of FOX Sports properties, shows, and on-air talent
• Ability to be flexible and work nights, weekends, and holidays as needed
• Passionate about and proficient in AI tools and emerging technology
• Analytical and creative in equal measure
• High agility and situational awareness
• Leadership through influence, not control
• Nimble executor and decisive strategist
• Resilient under pressure, opportunistic in chaos
   

NICE TO HAVE BUT NOT A DEALBREAKER

• Bachelor’s degree in journalism or a related field of study preferred, or equivalent experience
