We are looking for a Newsletter Editor & Writer who is responsible for editing and/or writing engaging content for our newsletter dedicated to women’s soccer/football, The Women’s Game.

The position requires collaboration with a writer 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.
