Job Description

NBC News Digital is seeking an experienced sports editor and reporter for a temporary position that lasts approximately six months. This hybrid role will provide coverage and support for the NFL playoffs, the Olympics and Paralympics, the Super Bowl, NBA All-Star Game, March Madness and the World Cup.

The right candidate has a broad and general knowledge of various sports and Olympic games, is comfortable tackling major events and can write and edit in various formats, including breaking news, live blogging and smart angles.

The core audience is the casual sports fan. The person will need to explain big moments to people who are not die-hards and write about the intersection of sports and society and pop culture.

On any given day, the person may spend their entire shift live blogging an NFL playoff game. The next day might involve editing a quick-turn profile about a star athlete in the news. The next day we may ask the person to write breaking news.

• Launch and manage live blogs.
