Editorial Operations Lead
Combine operational leadership with creative ownership — shape global editorial strategy across Sportway's growing network of sports media properties
The Sportway Editorial & Content team is growing, and we are looking for an Editorial Operations Lead to join us. This role focuses on developing scalable content workflows and formats across Sportway's international projects and media properties — with opportunities to grow into editorial strategy, audience development, and international media operations. You will also support Sportway's regional markets as they build and scale their own content production.
In the first phase, you will take ownership of Sportway Sweden's content operations, including Swedish Ice Hockey TV (@svenskhockey.tv) — one of our flagship services covering over 50,000 games per season, including Europe's best junior leagues and the Swedish junior national teams, in close collaboration with Tre Kronor. Proven concepts will be reapplied in other Sportway markets and projects.
This position reports to Sportway Media Group’s HQ in Stockholm.
Profile & Prior Experience
We are looking for someone with 3–6 years of experience in digital media, sports media, content production, or social media operations. You have previously coordinated creative or editorial workflows — briefing editors, managing freelancers, or running content calendars — and are ready to own that function end-to-end. Experience with live sports, live events, or creator-driven content is a strong advantage.
