Market Curation Editor reviewing and refining sports prediction markets for Meridial's beta social-predictions app. Applying league rules, verifying sources, and resolving live-event settlement issues.

Responsibilities:

  • Review a daily queue of system-generated sports markets against a fixed completion deadline
  • Assess candidate markets for factual accuracy, clarity, and adjudicability against authoritative sources and defined settlement dates
  • Verify event opening and closing times, including scheduled and unscheduled delays
  • Apply league-specific settlement conventions covering overtime, shootouts, postponements, abandonments, minimum-play thresholds, and statistical corrections
  • Confirm compliance with community standards and content guidelines, escalating ambiguous or sensitive cases
  • Approve, edit, or reject candidates and record a structured reason for every decision
  • Rewrite questions and resolution language for precision and natural sports-fan terminology
  • Author timestamped clarifications for live-market ambiguity and resolve settlement exceptions
  • Monitor live markets for errors and track schedules, team news, and social platforms for missed events
  • Participate in weekly calibration reviews with fellow curators

Requirements:

  • 3+ years in sports trading, sports data operations, sports journalism or editorial, or a comparable role requiring current subject-matter expertise
  • Demonstrable current fluency in sport across professional and collegiate leagues in major sports
  • Fluency with sports culture and sports social media, including trades, free agency, and breaking news accounts
  • Working knowledge of official rule and settlement conventions for major leagues
  • Knowledge of authoritative sources for official results and statistics
  • Proven judgment on suspended and abandoned events, statistical corrections, contested outcomes, and ambiguous official rulings
  • Ability to interpret official sources quickly and reach a defensible determination
  • Exceptional written precision under deadline
  • Ability to write unambiguous rules that hold up after the outcome is known
  • Comfort applying a written policy framework, with the instinct to escalate rather than guess
  • Flexible availability for evening, overnight, and weekend work as needed around live events
