Assistant web editor – $20 – $23 an hour
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.

- Prepare and publish content in RACER.com’s CMS
- Post content to RACER’s social media channels
- Produce written content as assigned by the RACER.com editor
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- A deep understanding of motorsport. If you have strong opinions about the 2024 Indy 500, IMSA BoP or the Red Bull/Racing Bulls 2026 driver line-up, you’ll fit right in.
- Meticulous attention to detail
- Superior writing, proofreading and copy-editing skills
- Experience working with a CMS
