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.

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.

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.
