We're working with a VC-backed sports technology start-up that sits at the intersection of live event video production and college recruiting software. They've raised a recent seed round from a top-tier VC and a major US pro league, and have multi-year contracts across youth/high school events.

They're now hiring a founding-level Head of Event Video Operations to build and own the entire event video operation alongside the founder.

You will:

• Design and run the event video ops playbook: staffing, equipment, logistics, on-site QA
• Build out regional hubs (storage, gear, regional leads, student camera-op pipelines, freelancers)
• Be on the ground at key events (12–15 weekends/year) solving problems and ensuring delivery
• Own relationships with event operators and tournament directors – be calm and professional
• Help commercialise the film: processes to market, sell and deliver game film at scale

You might be a fit if you:

• Have 2+ years running live sports/events or video production operations (youth sports, tournaments, production vendors, etc.) xhyhwjd
• Are comfortable with seasonal intensity + travel in summer/fall, with quieter off-season periods
• Enjoy rolling your sleeves up – from high-level planning to last-minute on-site fixes
• Want real ownership and equity in an early-stage company rather than just a job

This is a rare chance to build a P&L-driving business unit from the ground up with a highly ambitious founder.
