For more than 30 years, RACER has set the standard for motorsports coverage in North America. If you’re as obsessed with words as you are with race cars and are looking to start your career in motorsports media, our Assistant Web Editor role could be the perfect opportunity for you.
The Assistant Web Editor is a critical link in RACER.com’s content production chain, responsible for taking raw copy supplied by writers, teams, series or other sources, editing it, sourcing photography, and publishing the finished piece to the site.
A deep understanding of motorsports is essential to the role, as are sharp writing and editing skills, solid editorial judgement and strong attention to detail.
This is a contract, part-time, fully remote position that will require the successful candidate to be on duty during afternoons/evenings from Friday through Sunday every weekend, and may require occasional overnight work.

Editing raw copy for publication, including proofreading and ensuring compliance with RACER’s house style

Preparing and publishing content in RACER.com’s CMS
Posting content to RACER’s social media channels
Producing written content as assigned by the RACER.com editor
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
A deep understanding of motorsports. If you have strong opinions about the finish of the 2024 Indy 500, IMSA BoP or Red Bull’s 2026 F1 driver line-up, you’re going to fit right in.
Meticulous attention to detail
Superior writing, proofreading and copy-editing skills
Experience working with a CMS
The ability to work quickly and accurately
Solid editorial judgment
