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–River Falls, 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.

The Opportunity
If you’ve always wanted to work in sports media, opportunities like this don’t come around often.

This role is designed for someone early in their career who wants far more than a traditional entry‑level position.

You’ll gain hands‑on experience creating content around college athletics while also producing documentaries, tourism campaigns, branded content, and original media properties. The commercial work we produce helps fund our original sports projects, giving you the opportunity to build experience across multiple industries while remaining rooted in sports storytelling.

No two weeks look the same.

One week you may be filming inside a Division I football facility.

The next you could be producing a tourism campaign, editing a documentary, covering a live event, or helping launch a new original series.

If you love sports, storytelling, travel, and building things from the ground up, you’ll fit right in.
