ORGANISATIE
In football, some of the most important stories unfold away from the pitch. A reaction on the sidelines. A moment inside the stadium. A supporter story or a detail that suddenly becomes part of the conversation. On a busy Jupiler Pro League weekend, spotting those moments takes sharp editorial instinct, creativity and a constant feel for what's happening around the game.
Sporthouse is a multi-disciplinary sports content and communications agency. We help brands, leagues, federations, media and athletes translate the emotion of sport into stories that resonate with fans and travel across platforms. We work with some of the biggest names in Belgian and international sport, and every weekend, Belgian football is our home turf.
FUNCTIE
We're looking for an experienced Social Editor-in-Chief to lead the editorial direction of our weekend coverage.
What you'll do
You are the editorial heartbeat of our live coverage on Jupiler Pro League match days. Saturdays and Sundays are full working days dedicated to live coverage; Fridays and Mondays may include half-day shifts for research, preparation and debriefing. Match days set the pace, you set the direction. In total 3 days.
You will:
Lead the editorial and storytelling direction during weekend live shifts
Hunt for the stories around matches, clubs, players and supporters with the strongest social potential
Translate those stories into clear, creative briefings for content creators, and guide them in sharpening ideas, angles and executions
Make fast editorial decisions in a high-paced live environment while guarding a consistent tone
Prepare upcoming match weekends through editorial research and story development
Evaluate each weekend's coverage in editorial debriefs and raise the bar for the next one

Belgian football is part of your world, you follow the Jupiler Pro League, its clubs and its wider culture closely
