  • You keep a sharp eye on which topics are trending among Zeeland sports enthusiasts and know how to translate them into strong stories;

  • You develop new digital formats, journalistic productions, and innovative ideas with which we further strengthen our online position;

  • You closely follow Zeeland athletes, clubs, and developments within the regional, national, and international sports world;

  • You conduct interviews, background stories, and analyses yourself and, where possible, contribute to podcasts;

  • You work closely with colleagues from the site, app, and newspaper to realize larger journalistic productions from idea to publication;

  • You coach colleagues, provide direction, and stimulate the editorial team to continuously develop journalistically and digitally.
