Off the back of our most successful month ever, and a Henley Royal Regatta coverage campaign that spanned ten on-site staff members, 150,000 website views, six podcast episodes and numerous client retainers, we are inviting applications to join the team for the 23/24 season.
JRN has grown from a junior rowing blog to a fully-fledged content platform, complete with podcast, digital marketing agency, columnist roster, commercial partners and a team of over 70 people. In 2023, we’ve already had over 450,000 visits to our website (larger than the whole of 2022) and over 15000 listens to our podcast; our team were on-site for Henley Royal Regatta, National Schools’ Regatta, BUCS Regatta, Henley Women’s Regatta, The Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race and many other key events in the racing calendar.
We’re seeking people who have a genuine passion for the sport and want the chance to develop alongside an ambitious group who want to give a voice to rowing. Previous experience in journalism is not required – there will be training before the start of the season – but an enthusiasm for creating compelling content definitely helps.
We offer the chance to cover a sport in unparalleled depth; the chance to be a critical part of a team that makes a genuine difference to the community it serves; the chance to work with leading brands and access opportunities to test and qualify equipment, kit and brand new software; the chance to work at some of the country’s most renowned rowing events; the chance to meet some of the sport’s biggest stars; the chance to bring a new perspective and a new pen to a website that has ten years of credibility and is read all around the world.
Staffed and led by experienced athletes and writers, we have a team that cover junior, student and senior rowing plus features/opinions and you have the opportunity to become a part of one of the largest and fastest-growing rowing content platforms in the world. We have numerous vacancies and can be flexible to fit your requirements.
Please complete the short form below and a member of our team will be in touch. Any questions, please reach out to us on email (juniorrowingnews@gmail.com) or via our social media feeds (Instagram & Twitter).
