Job description

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 creative and strategic leader who knows how to turn vision into reality. You think big, move fast, and know how to bring out the best in creative teams. You’ll be leading All In Media, the development and expansion of a new content vertical, from early-stage ideas to a fully scaled media and events brand. You’ll shape the strategy, manage a talented team, and deliver engaging multi-format content across digital and live experiences. This role is built for someone who thrives at the intersection of storytelling, execution, and brand-building, someone who knows how to grow audiences, manage talent, and make a lasting impact.

You will…

  • Lead and manage the iGaming content vertical, overseeing all digital content, live event programming, and overall team operations.

  • Build, hire, and mentor a multidisciplinary team that includes content creators, editors, video producers, social leads, and event coordinators.

  • Shape and evolve the content roadmap—developing original shows, editorial series, and social formats that move from concept to full execution.

  • Plan and execute live activations such as interactive tournaments, live-streamed events, and influencer gatherings.

  • Collaborate with brand, affiliate, and sponsorship teams to create and drive monetization opportunities.

Job requirements

You have:

  • 5+ years of leadership in content strategy, editorial, video production, or event programming—ideally with experience in iGaming, gaming, or entertainment sectors.

  • Proven track record of building and leading teams within fast-paced, creative environments.

  • Deep understanding of iGaming culture, audience behavior, and content formats that resonate across diverse platforms.

  • Experience in launching new content products or verticals from the ground up.

  • Strong background in planning and executing live events, preferably within gaming or lifestyle media.

  • A data-driven mindset with strong operational and budget management skills.

  • Excellent communication, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration abilities.

Nice to Have:

  • Familiarity with YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and other video/social platforms.

  • Experience working with talent, influencers, or streamers in the iGaming or lifestyle space.

  • Knowledge of iGaming laws and content compliance in the U.S. or international markets.

  • Background in affiliate or sponsorship-based content models.

What We Offer:

  • A generous compensation package and paid time off

  • 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
