Perplexity Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Texas Sports Academy is a K-12 school designed for serious student-athletes who want both elite academics and high-level athletic development. Students cover 2x the material in just 2 hours a day, using the same 2-Hour Learning model as Alpha Schools. That frees up their entire afternoon for serious training, where they work alongside former pro and D1 athletes coaching them at the highest standard.

We're hiring a Marketing & Content Operations Manager to run the day-to-day machine behind our content, events, and partnerships. You'll coordinate video and photo coverage across every game, tournament, and program, manage sponsorships with tournament directors and external partners, and own the master calendar that keeps marketing, athletics, and academics aligned.

• Own Event Coverage End-to-End: Plan pre-event logistics, direct video and photo teams on-site, and deliver finished content across channels after every game, tournament, and program activation.
• Manage Sponsorships and Partnerships: Act as the main point of contact for tournament directors and external partners. Secure new sponsorship agreements, track deliverables, and make sure every commitment is met on time and on brand.
• Run the Master Marketing and Events Calendar: Coordinate across sports verticals and the academic schedule, flag conflicts early, and keep every stakeholder aligned on what's happening and when.
• Manage Content Calendars and Output: Keep a steady, consistent flow of content across social platforms. Make sure nothing important goes uncovered and nothing sits in a queue too long.
• Manage Merch Inventory and Fulfillment: Handle stock, sizing, and distribution for events, athletes, and brand activations. Keep the right product in the right place at the right time.
• Source New Sponsorship Opportunities: Identify partners that fit our athletic and academic mission, build the pitch, and bring deals across the finish line.
• Connect Content to Campaign Goals: Tie the content you produce back to broader marketing initiatives and brand storytelling so every piece earns its place.

Requirements

• Event Production Experience: You've run event coverage from planning through delivery. You know how to brief a video and photo team, what to capture, and how to turn footage around fast.
• Sponsorship and Partnership Management: You've owned sponsor relationships before, written and tracked deliverables, and kept partners happy through the full cycle. You can point to specific deals you've closed or fulfilled.
• Strong Project Management: You keep multiple campaigns and events moving in parallel without dropping balls. Calendars, deliverables, dependencies, and stakeholder updates are second nature.
• Content Operations Fluency: You understand how content calendars actually work across social platforms, how to keep output consistent, and how to coordinate creative teams toward a deadline.
• AI-Forward Workflow: You already use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity as part of your day-to-day. You write briefs, draft copy, summarize footage, build first drafts of decks, and automate the repetitive parts of your job with AI. You can point to specific workflows you've built or sped up using these tools.
• Comfort with Ambiguity: Priorities shift, schedules change, and games get rained out. You adjust quickly, re-sequence the day, and keep the team moving.
• Location: In-person, based in Texas. Some travel to events, tournaments, and partner activations expected. U.S. work authorization required.

• Sports Industry Background: You've worked in or around youth, club, or pro sports. You understand the rhythm of seasons, tournaments, and game-day operations.
• Hands-On Content Production: You can pick up a camera, cut a quick edit, or write social copy when the situation calls for it. You don't need to do it every day, but you can.
• Merch and Inventory Experience: You've managed apparel orders, sizing runs, or branded merch fulfillment for events or teams.
• CRM and Project Management Tools: You're comfortable in tools like Asana, Notion, Monday, or Airtable, and you've built systems other people can actually follow.
