Draught Sports is building Australia's next major sports media brand. In a short period of time, we've built a following of over 250K engaged fans and receive tens of millions of views on our content each month.
The Role
We now want to grow the digital side of things and are looking for passionate sports writers who want to be part of it early.
This is a contributor role for people who live and breathe sport and want their work published to a growing national audience. You'll have the freedom to pitch ideas, write in your own voice, and build a portfolio on a platform that's scaling quickly across social and digital. We're not looking for traditional journalists. We want fans who can write.
If you're the type who's always got takes in the group chat, runs a niche sports page, or wants a real pathway into sports media, this is for you.
What You'll Do
* Write articles across NRL, AFL, Cricket, UFC, Rugby and other sports
* Pitch story ideas and react to breaking news
* Create opinion pieces, features, lists, match reactions and culture content
* Work remotely and publish at your own pace
* Build a public portfolio with real readership
What You'll Get
* Direct feedback and mentoring from experienced media and sports operators
* Access to players, personalities and on-site content opportunities
* Opportunities to attend sporting events and club media days
* Exposure to video production and editing workflows
* Experience across digital media, content and production
* A genuine pathway into paid roles as the brand continues to scale
This is ideal for students, aspiring journalists, content creators, or anyone trying to break into sports media without waiting five years for a foot in the door. We're building a tight group of contributors who want to grow with us long term.
Requirements
* Strong passion for sport
* Ability to write clearly and quickly
* Good instincts for what fans care about
* Reliability and consistency
Location: Remote (Australia)
