About the Job The online content publisher is responsible for the grammar, spelling, and overall technical quality of all writing on Racer X Online. He or she is responsible for posting clean, complete content on the site.
Applicant must:
Live in or be willing to move to Morgantown, West Virginia, to be a part of our creative team.
Understand journalism and possess clear editing skills. The applicant will proofread and post stories for online publication.
Understand social media. The position will require a strong understanding of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and whatever’s next.
Be technically proficient. The candidate will be required to maintain a consistent look and feel throughout our web properties. Experience with website maintenance and posting is a plus.
Communicate well. The applicant will be working with a variety of staff writers and outside contributors each day.
Be organized. You will have deadlines all day, every day. You must be able to keep track of what’s next.
Be reliable. You’ve got to come through, whether simply showing up for work on time or nurturing a project successfully from beginning to end.
Be willing to put in the time. A job in this sport is not 9-to-5. If you want a 9-5 job, this isn’t the position for you. You will also be required to work multiple weekends throughout the year.
Be cool. Seriously, this is a tough job, but it’s pretty amazing at the same time. We all work hard, but we’re making something we absolutely love and are proud to be a part of.
