ABOUT RAIN DELAY

Rain Delay Media is an award-winning production company powering sports' biggest athletes and creators across YouTube, podcasts and social media, including Road Trippin' with Richard Jefferson, Kendrik Perkins & Channing Frye, The Schultz Report with Jordan Schultz & Keyshawn Johnson, and Club 30 with Henrik Lundqvist.

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.
