• Write and publish weekly news stories, match reports, previews and features to a professional editorial standard
• Write and issue press releases for tournaments, signings, commercial announcements and business news
• Build and hold relationships with darts media, national and regional press, broadcast partners and specialist outlets
• Place stories proactively rather than distributing them and hoping
• Service commercial partners and sponsors, delivering agreed marketing commitments and reporting on them
• Plan and deliver marketing campaigns that drive viewership, ticket sales and website traffic

Requirements

• Excellent written English, with the ability to publish to a professional standard without supervision

• Website and content management system experience
• Experience of press and media relations
• The ability to plan and deliver a marketing campaign from brief to measured result
• Highly organised and self-motivated, able to prioritise across competing deadlines
• Meticulous accuracy. We operate in a sport with an active betting market, and a factual error in published output is a credibility problem, not a typo
