We’re launching an exciting new content vertical at Action Network focused on prediction markets, covering politics, entertainment, culture, and current events through the lens of probability, pricing, and market movement.

We’re looking for an Editor, Prediction Markets to build and lead this vertical from the ground up. This is a high-impact role for someone who deeply understands modern digital publishing and knows how to drive traffic in an evolving media landscape.

You’ll play a key role in expanding our audience beyond sports, reaching new readers through high-interest, high-volume topics while maintaining editorial credibility and clarity.

This Role Is for You If…

You thrive in fast-moving digital media environments and love figuring out how people actually find content in 2026 and beyond. You’re excited about politics, entertainment, culture, and news, and curious about how prediction markets can offer a new, data-driven way to understand those topics.

You’re equal parts editor, strategist, and leader: comfortable setting direction, managing writers, spotting viral opportunities, and making smart editorial decisions that translate into real traffic growth.

How You’ll Make an Impact

Here’s how you’ll contribute to our mission:

• Launch and run a brand-new Prediction Markets content vertical at Action Network.

• Drive traffic to stories covering politics, entertainment, culture, and major current events.

• Identify and capitalize on viral opportunities across Google Search, Google Discover, Reddit, and emerging distribution channels.

• Manage and develop a small team, including three writers and SEO specialists, plus a freelance budget.

• Set clear editorial standards, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and consistency across content.

• Collaborate closely with Editorial, SEO, and Growth teams to scale what works.

• Help readers understand what prediction markets are signaling, why pricing matters, and how probabilities shift over time.

Meet Your Manager & Team

You’ll be part of Action Network’s broader editorial organization and report directly to editorial leadership. This role will manage a small team of writers and freelancers while operating as a semi-independent vertical within the larger newsroom.
