Video Producer

MaxPreps, a division of PlayOn Sports, is America’s Source for High School Sports — connecting fans, athletes, and communities through the stories and highlights that define local sports culture. We celebrate the young men and women who inspire their hometowns through dedication, teamwork, and excellence.

We’re looking for a Video Producer who can own end-to-end video storytelling across MaxPreps’ editorial, social, studio, and sponsored content. This role blends creative development, hands-on production, and cross-functional collaboration — ideal for someone who can concept, produce, edit, and deliver high-quality video at scale.

You’ll work closely with editorial, sales, programming, and production teams to turn ideas into polished video experiences — from short-form storytelling and podcasts to sponsor-ready series and event-based productions. This role will be central to growing MaxPreps’ original video portfolio while ensuring branded and sponsored initiatives are executed cleanly and creatively.

The Outcomes You’ll Deliver

• Grow consumer video engagement across PlayOn platforms: Create high-quality studio, podcast, social, and data-driven video content that gives fans more reasons to watch, follow, share, and return across MaxPreps, NFHS Network, GoFan, YouTube, social channels, and owned digital experiences.
• Increase the value and reach of our studio and podcast programming: Collaborate with the team to turn each studio recording or podcast into a larger content engine, including full episodes, short-form clips, vertical videos, topic segments, promotional assets, and recap packages that extend the life and impact of every show.

In this role, you can expect to

• Produce sponsored content: Coordinate with sales and production teams to execute sponsored programs and branded initiatives from concept through delivery.
• Edit across formats: Edit game recaps, player highlights, and storytelling VO-driven videos using Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Create original storytelling: Write scripts for short-form storytelling videos centered on high school sports moments, athletes, and communities.
• Turn programming into video: Convert written content from the programming team into engaging video for MaxPreps.com and social platforms.
• Own distribution: Manage playlists of original video content on YouTube and upload content to YouTube and TikTok; provide original video assets for Instagram and X.
• Produce audio/video shows: Produce the MaxPreps Podcast beginning with the 2026 high school football season.
• Design supporting visuals: Edit photos and create graphics in Adobe Photoshop, including thumbnails for MaxPreps.com and YouTube.
• Manage productions: Lead larger video productions, work with freelance editors and producers, and ensure quality control across deliverables.
• Be on site when needed: Travel to events to film and edit on location when required.
• Be on camera: Participate in on-camera appearances and record voiceovers when needed.
• Track performance: Monitor and report on video performance metrics to inform future content and sponsorship strategy.
• Explore innovation: Leverage or experiment with AI tools to enhance efficiency, creativity, and production workflows.
• Support live schedules: Work nights, weekends, and holidays — when the biggest high school sports moments happen.

To thrive In this role, you have

• A strong sense of ownership over creative projects from idea to execution.
• The ability to balance creative storytelling with sponsor and business requirements.
• Confidence working cross-functionally with editorial, sales, and production teams.
• Experience managing freelancers and larger video productions.
• Comfort juggling multiple projects while hitting tight deadlines.
• Willingness to travel and work on-site for live or event-based productions.
• 1-2 years of video production and editing experience, with proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Photoshop (Final Cut experience also valued).
• Interest in or experience using AI tools to enhance video production and workflows.
• Comfort being on camera and recording voiceovers when needed.

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.
