About the job

Playmaker is a fast-growing sports and entertainment media brand powered by Better Collective, one of the world’s leading sports media and technology companies. We create content that lives at the intersection of culture, sports, and real personality.

From viral videos and talent-led podcasts to unforgettable live events and limited-edition merch drops, we don’t just follow the culture, we help shape it. Our slate includes The Big Podcast with Shaq, Roommates Show featuring two of New York’s favorite NBA stars, Unapologetically Angel with WNBA icon Angel Reese, Da Get Got Pod with Marshawn Lynch and Mike Robinson, and The OGs with Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller. Collectively, our podcast network has surpassed 1 billion views and downloads across North America.

At Playmaker, we blend high-impact storytelling with social-first thinking to build brands people love and content they keep coming back to. Whether it’s on set, behind the mic, or in the edit bay, this is where creative people come to make work that actually matters.

You Are

A storyteller, a doer, and someone who thrives behind the scenes making talent and teams shine. You’ve got a strong creative point of view, but you’re also buttoned-up when it comes to scheduling, execution, and getting things done on time. You know what makes a podcast binge-worthy, how to get the best out of talent, and how to cut through the noise on social. You’re not here just to produce episodes, you’re here to shape a show.

You Will

  • Own the end-to-end production of a talent-led podcast, from pitch to publish
  • Work closely with hosts to shape meaningful conversations that connect with fans
  • Manage episode calendars, bookings, and delivery timelines
  • Direct recordings (in-studio and remote) and run the room with confidence
  • Coordinate with editors to ensure clean, high-quality episodes on tight timelines
  • Collaborate with social and video teams to turn moments into viral clips
  • Track performance and use insights to refine content and format
  • Stay plugged in to podcast trends, sports culture, and digital storytelling

You Have

  • 3-5 years of podcast production experience, preferably in sports, culture, or entertainment
  • Experience working directly with talent and developing show formats from scratch
  • Strong editorial judgment and storytelling instincts
  • Familiarity with tools like Riverside, Zoom, Rodecaster Pro, Adobe Audition, Descript, or similar
  • Understanding of how audio lives across platforms, from RSS feeds to TikTok
  • Passion for sports and digital culture

What We Offer

  • Comprehensive health benefits cover medical, dental, and vision
  • Life and disability insurance
  • Paid parental leave
  • Opportunities for growth
  • A supportive, fun, and kind team dedicated to your success
  • Travel opportunities for live events, shoots, and brand activations
  • A front-row seat to help shape a growing media brand in one of the most exciting spaces out there

New York City Base Salary: $70,000-$95,000, depending on the experience
