Summary
DirtFish Media runs DirtFish.com, the world’s biggest independent rally website. We need an editorial assistant to work in a high-pressure, virtual newsroom environment. We need sparkling copy in the blink of an eye as well as multi-platform feature ideas until the cows come home.
DirtFish Media is headquartered in Seattle, Washington USA, but the head of media works out of the UK. The job would be predominantly remote/work from home, but located in the UK.
Description
Rally. What’s the first thing that comes to your head? If it’s a banner-wielding demonstration, this isn’t for you.
If, on the other hand, you’re immediately seeing the world’s most exciting, sustainable and relevant form of motorsport… hello! Pull up a chair. Let’s talk. DirtFish Media is the media arm of DirtFish Rally School – the world’s finest place to learn all things sideways. Created in 2020, DFM has grown into the world’s biggest independent rally website. We break news, we make videos, podcasts and social content about rallying.
But we need help. That’s where you come in. The job is based from home. It involves producing content across the board, we need you to write everything from a tweet to a 2,000-word feature. You need to be able to script, film and edit VT and produce podcasts.
It’s a lot to ask, but we have a lot to offer.
About DirtFish: DirtFish was founded in 2010 as a rally driving school. It continues to fulfill its original mission as an organization to become the world’s best rally school, having educated more than 12,000 driving enthusiasts on the skills required to drive a rally car – and control any vehicle on a loose surface – to date.
Headquartered just outside Seattle, Washington, USA, DirtFish has more than 300 acres of property to serve as its rally playground. In addition to the DirtFish Rally School and DirtFish Media platform, the DirtFish eco-system also includes much, much more.
DirtFish Media opened its doors in 2020, partnering then FIA World Rally Championship Ott Tänak to offer immediate launch. Since then, the trajectory hasn’t altered from stratospheric. DirtFish Media’s social following has motored well past a collected 1.5m with our highest-performing video knocking on the door of 30m views. Globally, DirtFish.com is accepted as the place to read anything rallying or off-road related. Launching DirtFish Live Center at the top of the WRC season delivered an immediate 1m page views per day on WRC rounds while our decision to partner eWRC-results.com was as popular for fans as it was powerful for our partnership.
DirtFish Motorsports is a two-time ARX2 championship-winning team. DirtFish Performance Shop specializes in rally vehicle builds and accessories. DirtFish Merchandise is your source for rally-inspired apparel. DirtFish Events is a global team supporting rallies and events worldwide, large to small. DirtFish Giving is a philanthropic platform dedicated to supporting the Seattle community.
Vision Statement: ALL RALLYING. ONE SOURCE. DIRTFISH.
Mission Statement: To inspire, inform, educate, promote, and expand the sport of rallying by engaging automotive enthusiasts globally.
