Roles: We are looking for a Writer and Researcher to support the research, writing and fact-checking of content across the department, with a focus on the information presented within auction lots.
The successful candidate will be a strong writer and researcher with excellent attention to detail and an interest in sports, storytelling and sports memorabilia. A key part of the role will be researching the history and context behind individual items and turning that information into clear, engaging copy that helps communicate why the property is important to collectors.
Responsibilities:
Research and write catalogue content including notes, property descriptions, provenance and authentication information, condition reports and other client-facing lot content. Develop the story around individual lots by researching the players, games, performances, milestones and historical context that help explain their significance.
Conduct detailed research using appropriate internal and external sources and maintain accurate supporting information. Fact-check and proofread content, verifying key details and flagging inconsistencies. Inspect property and prepare condition reports where needed. Support broader content including overview pages, editorial features, press materials, website content and social copy, working with colleagues across teams to meet deadlines.
Skills/background needed: No prior professional experience required. Strong writing and research skills demonstrated through academic, internship, journalistic or comparable experience. Excellent written English and the ability to turn research into clear, engaging and concise copy. Strong attention to detail, good editorial judgment and the ability to learn and apply an established tone and style. Strong interest in sports, sports history or sports memorabilia is helpful but not required. Full training provided.
