Market Curation Editor (Sports)

Accountabilities:

• Review daily queues of system-generated sports markets within fixed completion deadlines, working across all markets generated for each sporting event.


• Evaluate candidate markets for factual accuracy, clarity, completeness, and whether their resolution criteria can be objectively adjudicated using an authoritative source and defined settlement date.


• Verify market opening and closing times against underlying events, accounting for scheduled changes, delays, postponements, and other developments.


• Apply appropriate league-specific settlement conventions, including overtime, shootouts, abandoned or postponed events, minimum-play requirements for player props, and official statistical corrections.


• Assess markets against community standards and content policies, escalating ambiguous or sensitive cases when a clear determination cannot be made.


• Approve, edit, or reject markets and document a structured, accurate reason for every decision as part of the product-quality process.


• Rewrite prediction questions and resolution language to make them precise, unambiguous, and natural for sports fans.


• Create timestamped clarifications when ambiguity develops during live markets and resolve settlement exceptions that cannot be handled by automated data feeds.


• Conduct proactive gap scans by monitoring live markets for visible errors and tracking schedules, team news, breaking developments, and relevant social platforms for events that were not captured by the automated pipeline.


• Participate in regular calibration reviews to maintain consistency with editorial guidelines and align decision-making with other curators and leads.


• Contribute to overall market quality by maintaining strong completion, decision, reasoning, rewriting, and proactive discovery standards.

• Ability to quickly interpret authoritative sources and make defensible, evidence-based decisions.
