## Description

**THE SHOW:**

Road Trippin’ is starting a new weekly podcast hosted by **Zack Martin** (former NFL All-Pro offensive lineman, Dallas Cowboys) and **Tyler Eifert** (former NFL tight end, Cincinnati Bengals & Jacksonville Jaguars). As brothers-in-law who played college football together at **Notre Dame**, the show blends in-depth football analysis with authentic personal storytelling—hunting trips, family life, golf battles, business ventures, and the real lives of ex-athletes. Distributed across YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and socials, this new show is building an audience who value insider perspective, vulnerability, and genuine chemistry over celebrity posturing.

**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:**

_**Creative Development**_

-   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

_**Production**_

-   Own production calendar across full season: manage schedules, guest placement, crew calls, and recording dates
-   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

_**Post-Production**_

-   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

_**Show Strategy**_

-   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

## Requirements

-   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, and ensuring professional output
-   Strong understanding of podcast formats, audience discovery, and what drives clip virality on YouTube and social media
-   Deep sports knowledge—you understand football (NFL and college), can follow game analysis, and know the difference between credible takes and amateur hour
-   Strong creative instincts—you know what makes a story land, can identify the best moment in a 50-minute conversation, and understand pacing
-   Clear, confident communicator who can work with ex-athletes, remote guests, editors, and exec producers without creating bottlenecks
-   Ability to build and maintain detailed production calendars, guest databases, and rundown templates
-   Willingness to work flexible hours—recording sessions may extend past 5pm or occur on weekends depending on guest availability and football schedule
-   Self-directed problem-solver who thrives in a small team with shared creative vision
-   Genuine passion for football, hunting, golf, storytelling, and authentic conversation
-   Familiarity with Notre Dame culture and appreciation for college football
