Job Description

About The Role

We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Video Operations Manager to join our Global Series & Specials team. In this role, you will manage the end-to-end lifecycle of podcast and TV video assets—from ingest and media organization to metadata recording, managing and optimizing internal storage systems, and leading distribution requirements to our syndication partners.

This position is ideal for someone with a strong background in digital video operations, media asset management, and content delivery workflows, especially in a fast-paced editorial or broadcast environment.

This is 100% remote for candidates currently residing in the United States or Canada.

Media & Metadata Management
  • Oversee organization, ingest, and quality control of both long form video episodes and social media assets, across all shows produced.
  • Manage metadata standards and data input across platforms and databases to ensure discoverability, consistency, and compliance with partner requirements.
  • Collaborate with producers and editors to ensure accurate metadata tagging, internal management, and asset distribution.
Syndication & Distribution
  • Manage the packaging, export, and delivery of video episodes and vertical short videos to internal programming teams and syndication partners.
  • Maintain delivery schedules and ensure timely distribution to platforms, such as YouTube, and third-party partners.
  • Coordinate with external vendors and internal stakeholders to troubleshoot and resolve delivery or encoding issues.
  • Partner with Design Teams and develop media assets for distribution requirements, such as video thumbnails and transcriptions.
Workflow & Tools Optimization
  • Help define and refine media management and delivery workflows across multiple show teams.
  • Implement best practices for file naming, version control, and archival systems.
  • Stay up to date with changes to platform specs, syndication policies, and emerging video delivery standards.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Liaise with editorial, product, engineering, legal, and partnerships teams to ensure smooth operations across all video podcast projects.
  • Partner with internal Programming Teams to locate, organize, and share daily video assets to proper stakeholders.
Requirements
  • 4–6+ years of experience in video operations, media asset management, or content distribution—preferably in a podcast, sports, or digital media environment.
  • Deep understanding of media formats, transcoding, video specs, and metadata schemas.
  • Experience managing syndication to platforms like YouTube, Acast, Aspera, and social media platforms.
  • Experience with managing global database recording, such as Gracenotes, and continuous organization and information input.
  • Familiarity with content management systems (CMS), digital asset management (DAM) tools, and project management platforms (e.g., Airtable, LucidLink, etc.).
  • Strong organizational and communication skills, with a proactive and collaborative approach to problem-solving.
  • Experience in Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Photoshop and Premiere Pro, is a plus.
  • Passion for sports and digital storytelling is a plus.
