WhatIfSports, a division of FOX Sports Interactive, is looking for a fantasy sports writer who enjoys working in a casual, flexible, high-paced work environment.

WhatIfSports develops online games and content for WhatIfSports.com, FOXSports.com and other companies within the FOX umbrella.

Now's your chance to get into the game and sports industry -- it's all happening now.

We are looking for a fantasy sports writer, someone that lives and breathes fantasy sports in all its forms: season-long commissioner games, daily fantasy games, simulation games. Basically, a walking, talking sports encyclopedia that can write entertaining articles and provide readers with analysis, tips, insight and humor they can't find elsewhere. But it's not 1995 fantasy - we also need someone with the ability to contribute to podcasts, videos, mock drafts and chats; someone to build and engage a social media following and someone to generate new ideas to further the FOX Fantasy and WhatIfSports brands. Basically, your dream job.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree
  • 2+ years of professional journalism experience
  • Deep knowledge of the fantasy industry and big six U.S. sports

  • Proven ability to deliver high-quality content and meet deadlines
  • Advanced expertise with Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms
  • Experience with content management systems
  • A self-starter with proactive approach to coverage and content
