Freelance Sports News Editor

About the role

Since 2006, Flashscore has been the fastest name in sports information. Our websites and apps reach 120 million people every month across the globe, making us a world leader in live sports data. Over the past four years, we've expanded into sports news, working with independent journalists across more than 30 markets.

We're now looking for a freelance journalist to cover Italian sports news for our Italian-language editorial project — someone who knows Italian sport inside out and wants to write for a genuinely global audience.

What you'll be doing?

• Follow sports news in Italy and around the world, and turn it into stories

• Write and edit content in Italian and publish it through our CMS

• Take ownership of the accuracy, timeliness and quality of your work

• Source appropriate photos to accompany your stories

• Coordinate with the wider Flashscore News network on coverage

• Contribute ideas on content, angles and how the project can improve

What we offer

• A long-term freelance collaboration, working as a self-employed contractor

• Coverage organized into shift slots (mainly evenings and weekends, around live sporting events) — you choose which slots to take on

• An average workload of roughly 20 hours per week, depending on the slots you take

• The freedom to take on other clients or projects alongside this collaboration

• The chance to contribute to an ambitious, international sports news project reaching millions of readers worldwide

What you bring

• Strong knowledge of Italian sport — football, tennis, athletics and beyond — plus a good grasp of major international events

• Complete fluency in Italian (C2 level or equivalent), both written and spoken, with excellent writing and communication skills

• Experience working in a CMS (WordPress or similar) and standard office tools (MS Office, Google Workspace)

• A reliable, self-organized way of working, with strong ownership of your own output

• Good judgment and composure when things move fast around live sporting events

• A genuine passion for sport and sports journalism
