This role sits at the intersection of video production, sports storytelling, data, studio programming, and emerging AI technology. You’ll focus on turning rankings, records, athlete stories, team achievements, archival assets, editorial ideas, and podcast concepts into compelling video and audio-led content formats. You’ll partner closely with editorial, social, studio, product, data, and video teams to apply AI-assisted workflows that increase production speed, improve creative output, and unlock new storytelling opportunities.

The outcomes you'll deliver 

  • Improve video production workflows through practical use of AI technology
  • Increase studio programming output, with a specific focus on podcast-driven video formats, clips, segments, and social extensions
  • Build repeatable workflows around sports data, scripting, templates, voiceover, motion, archival assets, AI-generated visuals, and social packaging
  • Create scalable video formats that can be used across sports, schools, states, athletes, rankings, milestones, and recurring editorial franchises
  • Turn structured data and editorial concepts into scripts, storyboards, voiceovers, motion graphics, finished videos, and social-first clips
  • Develop AI-assisted systems that reduce manual production time while maintaining quality, accuracy, brand standards, and editorial judgment
  • Expand the use of AI tools in studio, podcast, editorial, and social video production
  • Help identify new video storytelling opportunities across MaxPreps, NFHS Network, GoFan, and PlayOn content ecosystems

In this role, you can expect to

  • Produce AI-assisted video content for digital, social, editorial, studio, and podcast platforms
  • Use AI video, audio, editing, scripting, motion, design, transcription, captioning, and voiceover tools to improve production efficiency and output
  • Support studio programming by creating repeatable podcast-to-video workflows, including full episodes, cutdowns, topic segments, vertical clips, audiograms, highlight packages, and social promotional assets
  • Build templates and production systems for recurring content formats such as rankings, player spotlights, team features, historical trends, recruiting stories, records, milestones, previews, recaps, and breaking news
  • 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
  • Strong hands-on experience using AI video tools and AI-assisted production workflows
  • Experience creating video outputs using a combination of scripting, editing, voiceover, motion graphics, templates, archival assets, and AI-generated content
  • Strong storytelling instincts and the ability to turn sports data into clear, compelling narratives
  • Comfort working with rankings, records, statistics, athlete profiles, team information, historical trends, and recurring sports content formats
  • Experience supporting podcast, studio, or long-form programming through clips, segments, promotional assets, social cutdowns, or video extensions
  • Familiarity with tools such as Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, CapCut, Runway, Pika, Descript, ElevenLabs, Canva, ChatGPT, Claude, or similar AI and video platforms
  • Ability to test, learn, document, and improve repeatable workflows for broader team use
  • Strong editorial judgment, attention to detail, and commitment to accuracy in sports storytelling
  • Ability to work effectively with editorial, studio, social, video, product, data, and marketing teams

    • Nice to haves 

  • Background in sports media, high school sports, recruiting, digital publishing, studio production, podcasting, or social video
  • Experience building templates, franchises, or scalable content systems
  • Experience with automated video production, data-to-video workflows, AI-assisted motion graphics, synthetic voiceover, transcription, captioning, and social clipping tools
  • Experience producing vertical video, YouTube content, podcast clips, explainers, highlight-style packages, or short-form social video
  • Familiarity with MaxPreps, NFHS Network, GoFan, high school athletics, recruiting, statistics, rankings, and sports storytelling
  • Interest in emerging AI tools and their practical application in a real newsroom, studio, content, or production environment
