Video Producer, NFL Podcast

About the role

Rain Delay is seeking a Video Producer to shepherd every episode from concept through final delivery. This is a hands-on role working to build rundowns, coordinate guests, manage production logistics, and oversee editorial quality. You'll work alongside the hosts and production crew (in-person), as well as with an editing and publishing team (remote). If you're passionate about football, hunting and golf, understand YouTube audiences, and thrive in a remote environment, this is the role for you.

Responsibilities

• Generate and pitch weekly episode concepts and guest targets in alignment with football calendar and personal story arcs
• Develop recurring segment formats and evolve show's creative identity over time
• Build and refine detailed episode rundowns before each recording
• Identify clip and social media opportunities from raw recordings to maximize reach and engagement
• Partner with marketing and partnerships teams on branded content integrations and ad placement

• Prepare detailed episode rundowns each week: segment breakdown, talking points, guest research, time cues, and technical notes
• Coordinate guest booking and rescheduling
• Run pre-production meetings with hosts and producers to align on episode direction, story pulls, and guest talking points before recording
• Direct recording sessions: maintain pacing, call segment transitions, manage energy, and ensure story moments land
• Coordinate footage delivery from on-site production crew to remote editing and publishing team
• Keep show consistent in tone, format, and feel across episodes
• Review rough cuts and rough mixes; provide detailed editorial notes to editors
• Manage asset requests: graphics, thumbnails, and visual elements for each episode
• Oversee publishing cadence across all distribution channels—ensure episodes and clips release on schedule
• Monitor episode flow and pacing—ensure football segment is credible and specific, "related" segment is personal and vulnerable
• Maintain editorial standards: fact-check football analysis, ensure guest stories are compelling, flag anything that doesn't land
• Suggest format tweaks or guest topics based on performance data and audience feedback

Qualifications

• 3+ years producing weekly podcasts, talk shows, or live productions for recognized networks, platforms, or media brands
• Proven track record directing hosts on-set or in-studio—managing talent, maintaining energy
