- Partner with editorial teams to turn sports data, rankings, statistics, and story ideas into clear, engaging video narratives
- Collaborate with studio, social, and video teams to improve how podcasts and long-form programming are packaged, distributed, clipped, and extended across platforms
- Experiment with AI-generated visuals, synthetic or AI-assisted voiceover, automated editing, motion graphics, captions, archival footage, highlight-style storytelling, and platform-specific creative formats
- Evaluate new AI tools and recommend practical ways to integrate them into existing production workflows
- Document repeatable workflows so other producers, editors, social leads, and editorial team members can use them
- Maintain quality control around factual accuracy, sports context, rights usage, visual standards, tone, brand voice, and editorial integrity
To thrive in this role, you have
- Experience producing video content for digital, social, editorial, studio, sports, media, or entertainment platforms

How You Play
Ownership over Participation – You take responsibility for achieving holistic outcomes, prioritize key objectives, and adapt quickly when situations require a different approach. You follow through even against the toughest challenges.
Team over Stars – You are a bridge builder, establishing processes and relationships with teams outside your own. You work to rally around common goals, find win-win solutions, compromise when necessary, and help others succeed.
Growth over Comfort – You are driven by a desire to grow and actively seek opportunities to expand your comfort zone, skills, and confidence. You embrace new challenges with curiosity, accepting discomfort and failure as opportunities to learn.
Fairness over Popularity – You approach decisions with a scientist’s mindset, challenging your assumptions and remaining objective. You consider long-term impact rather than relying on short-term gains, proactively seek others’ perspectives, and manage emotions in decision-making.
PlayOn is where high school sports come to life. Through GoFan, NFHS Network, and MaxPreps, we give every fan a front-row seat to the moments that matter most: the buzzer-beaters, the comeback wins, the senior nights, the rivalries that define a town.
We built our technology for the people who live and breathe high school athletics — the parents who never miss a game, the alumni still cheering from across the country, the communities that show up week after week. From buying tickets to watching a live stream to reliving the highlights, we make it simple to stay close to the sports and the athletes you love most.
Backed by KKR, we build the technology that powers high school athletics from the inside out: Schools trust us to handle ticketing, streaming, fundraising, concessions, merchandise, and more so the people running programs can stay focused on the athletes and fans we all serve together.
We're a growth-stage company on a mission to make high school sports more accessible, more memorable, and more connected than ever before.
When being there means everything, we make sure you never miss a moment.
