PlayOn Sports is the leading platform for high school sports media, streaming live games to millions of fans and powering the next generation of prep sports experiences. We partner with schools, state associations, and athletic programs across the country to bring every play to every fan, wherever they are.

 PlayOn is investing heavily in its computer vision and artificial intelligence pipeline—transforming raw game footage into highlights, text recaps, statistics, and play-by-play breakdowns. This Streaming Intelligence initiative sits at the intersection of live video, machine learning, and high school sports fandom, and it has the potential to fundamentally change how fans experience prep sports.

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to drive execution and operational excellence across this AI-powered product line. You will partner directly with the Principal Product Manager who owns the Streaming Intelligence roadmap -  translating their product vision and vendor strategy into structured feature delivery where you will executive against the plans, orchestrate cross-team coordination, and provide transparent progress reporting.

You’ll be embedded in a team working with vision AI models, benchmarking pipelines, and ML vendor integrations. You need to be comfortable in this world: understanding model accuracy tradeoffs, pipeline architecture, and the iterative nature of AI product development. In addition to the Streaming Intelligence product line, this role will serve as a key delivery partner to PlayOn’s Data Platform team (DPT), modernizing our data warehouse and analytics infrastructure. The DPT is shifting from foundational buildout to platform leverage: powering self-serve analytics, real-time data capabilities, and agentic AI enablement across the business.

The Outcomes You’ll Deliver:

  • High-impact, high-visibility work. You’ll be at the center of PlayOn’s most strategic AI and data investments—spanning both the Streaming Intelligence product line and the Data Platform—with direct exposure to executive leadership and board-level initiatives.
  • A true partnership model. You’ll work hand-in-hand with a Principal PM who owns strategy and vision, giving you the context to drive execution with purpose—not just process.
  • AI isn’t a buzzword here. PlayOn is actively building AI into how we work and what we ship. You’ll be embedded in that transformation from day one.
  • Real-world scale. PlayOn streams tens of thousands of live high school games annually. Your work will directly impact how millions of fans experience their athletes’ moments.
  • Mission that matters. High school athletes don’t have broadcast deals or highlight reels—yet. You’ll help change that.

 

 

PlayOn is where high school sports come to life. Through GoFan, NFHS Network, and MaxPreps, we give every fan a front-row seat to the moments that matter most: the buzzer-beaters, the comeback wins, the senior nights, the rivalries that define a town.  

We built our technology for the people who live and breathe high school athletics — the parents who never miss a game, the alumni still cheering from across the country, the communities that show up week after week. From buying tickets to watching a live stream to reliving the highlights, we make it simple to stay close to the sports and the athletes you love most.

Backed by KKR, we build the technology that powers high school athletics from the inside out: Schools trust us to handle ticketing, streaming, fundraising, concessions, merchandise, and more so the people running programs can stay focused on the athletes and fans we all serve together.

We're a growth-stage company on a mission to make high school sports more accessible, more memorable, and more connected than ever before.

When being there means everything, we make sure you never miss a moment.
