Role overview

We’re looking for a passionate, creative, and hard-working Staff Writer (Part-Time) to contribute to our women’s sports SEO and newsletter efforts. You’ll work approximately 20-25 hours per week to produce search-optimized articles and write our flagship newsletter twice per week, helping JWS reach new fans and deepen engagement with our core audience. You should feel empowered to be a decision-maker on topics, angles, and packaging, and to collaborate across editorial and audience teams to align your work with weekly and quarterly goals.

What you’ll do

  • Pitch and write women’s sports-focused SEO articles, using keyword research and audience insights to identify topics fans are searching for.
  • Contribute to the production of the JWS newsletter twice per week, from topic selection to research, original writing, image sourcing, and story packaging.
  • Curate and package news, major moments, and tentpole events across women’s sports (NWSL, WNBA, USWNT, WCBB, PWHL, tennis, golf, softball, MMA, and more).
  • Collaborate across production, social, and design to align SEO and newsletter content with broader coverage, original programming, and brand priorities.
  • Stay on top of the women’s sports news cycle so we’re early to the moments that matter most to our audience.

Who you are

  • 2-4 years of professional experience in digital journalism, news, or copy writing, ideally in sports, women’s sports, or adjacent categories.
  • Demonstrated experience producing SEO-optimized articles and/or newsletters that drive engagement and audience growth.
  • Functional knowledge of and genuine enthusiasm for women’s sports, particularly USWNT, NWSL, WNBA, NCAAW, and emerging properties like Unrivaled and the PWHL.
  • Excellent writing and editing skills, with a knack for tight, clear, clean, and quick packaging of complex news stories.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, small-team, startup-like environment where priorities can shift quickly.
  • Highly organized, consistent, and reliable in delivering against a daily publishing cadence.
  • Familiarity with CMS tools (preferably Wordpress), SEO best practices and tools (Google Trends, etc.), and newsletter-building platforms; experience with analytics or A/B testing is a plus.
