Content Editor - Contract (Full-time 3-6 months) – with the potential to convert to permanent

Founded by Jimmy “Jomboy” O’Brien in 2017 with partner Jake Storiale, JM has become the leading independent sports media brand, growing a hyper-engaged community of sports fans with fun and culturally relevant audio and video content.

Home to several of the world’s most highly rated baseball shows and the regularly viral “Breakdown” video series, JM programming builds community with an approach that makes viewers and listeners feel understood, appreciated and catered to — while consistently pushing creative boundaries. A prime example is the completely original Jomboy Media IP, “Warehouse Games” — a novel sports league modeled after backyard games of years past.

Through content that lives on audio feeds, digital video platforms, television screens or anywhere else, Jomboy Media is building a community that makes daily sports and entertainment banter a little more fun.
