Community Editor

Remote (US Only)

The core of SB Nation is its network of nearly 200 communities, many covering an individual sports team. We are looking for a Community Editor who can moderate SB Nation conversations at scale. This is a 12-month temporary position.

What You’ll Do

• Use SB Nation tools to offer consistent moderation across the SB Nation network.
• Act as an expert at dealing with sensitive subjects, topics, and discussions and understand how to communicate with community members in a respectful and professional manner.
• Be a strong, empathetic, and when necessary authoritative voice whenever it is necessary to engage with a community or a community member.
• Moderate comments from a centralized moderation queue, approve or reject filtered or reported comments, and take appropriate measures when necessary, which may include warning, suspending or banning community members, including informing the community member why the action was taken.
• Document your moderation decisions and actions when necessary for your manager and for the relevant community leader
• Work in concert with individual community leaders to tailor your moderation approach whenever and wherever necessary.
• Monitor community discussion and morale and communicate with league Editorial Managers and Producers when actionable situations arise.
• Monitor user-generated content and reader-created posts, and assist with curation for community homepages
• Assist in investigating moderation action disputes in coordination with your direct supervisor or Editorial Managers.
• Understand enough about various sports to know basic terms and to glean context for varied and diverse conversations.
• Maintain an open line of communication and conversation with your Community Editor team, your managers and Site Managers to help deal with complex situations and to maintain a positive team environment.
• Moderation is your lead responsibility and must take priority, but any non-moderation time can be spent copyediting on approved communities, or other community or administrative duties as outlined and approved by your manager.
• Be an expert on the user agreement and community guidelines, which are standard across all communities in the network.
