This role involves keeping an extremely close eye on what’s happening across all the major American and European leagues, along with the cultural conversation around women’s football happening on social media. The position requires collaboration with an editor and the newsletter director, along with coordinating with the larger TWG team, and participation in brainstorming sessions, all while adhering to TWG’s brand standards.
