  • Collaborate with music producers, creative vendors, and entertainment partners to develop custom edits, thematic audio strategies, and integrated live entertainment experiences.
  • Collaborate with on-camera talent to develop scripted segments (pregame, in-game, and halftime), provide game storylines and thematic direction, and ensure alignment with key organizational messaging and interactive sponsored features.

Sponsorship & Partner Integration
  • Lead strategic execution of sponsor activations and branded entertainment integrations across stadium programming utilizing interactive technologies, social integrations, AR experiences, and premium branded content.
  • Manage sponsored asset workflows, inventory tracking, quality control, and fulfillment processes for all in-stadium partner deliverables.
  • Partner with corporate partnerships to develop new monetizable presentation assets and experiential opportunities.

Technology & Vendor Management
  • Direct integration and operational execution of LED systems, AR platforms, social engagement platforms, replay systems, and immersive entertainment.
  • Lead production planning with stadium operations, engineering teams, and technical crews to oversee testing, implementation, quality assurance, and operational readiness of all game-day systems.
  • Manage relationships with external vendors, technology partners, production agencies, and entertainment providers.

Team Leadership & Operations
  • Lead and develop game presentation staff, contractors, vendors, freelancers, and live event personnel to optimize consistency of workflows and production standards.
  • Oversee production schedules, content organization systems, asset management platforms, and post-event archival processes.
  • Partner closely with senior leadership to oversee departmental budgets, operational planning, cross-functional initiatives, vendor management, resource allocation, and day-to-day organizational operations while supporting strategic decision-making and long-term business objectives.

Qualifications
  • 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in live sports entertainment, game presentation, broadcast production, or live event operations.
  • Proven expertise leading large-scale live productions within professional sports, entertainment venues, or broadcast environments.

  • Background in creative storytelling, brand entertainment, or fan experience strategy.
  • Familiarity with production collaboration tools including Asana, Frame.io, and Adobe Creative Suite.

Work Environment
  • The Los Angeles Rams is a professional, fast-paced business environment which requires 4 days in office per week (Monday - Thursday). In-office days will fluctuate in-season based on home game scheduling.
  • Housing within 45 miles of Woodland Hills, CA is preferred and reliable transportation is required for periodic local travel (work-related mileage will be reimbursed).
