Associate Creative Producer

Sizzle Media is an independent media company dedicated to telling compelling stories through sports, documentaries, podcasts, branded partnerships, tourism campaigns, and digital content. Our work has taken us inside some of the country’s top college football programs, creating original content with programs including Kansas, Texas Tech, Minnesota, Iowa State, Drake, North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Wisconsin–RiverFalls, and many others. From documentaries and podcasts to destination marketing campaigns and branded productions, we believe great storytelling can exist anywhere. We’re looking for an Associate Creative Producer to help us tell those stories and grow alongside our company.
