Job description
CHIEF FAN OFFICER
$100K - $300K, commensurate with your fandom
ABOUT NOVIG
Novig is building America's #1 sports prediction market built for real sports fans. We're a peer-to-peer exchange, which means no house, no hidden fees, and no built-in edge against you. We provide a better platform for the smartest fans in America. Now we're looking for the biggest one.
We're backed by some of Silicon Valley's top investors — Pantera, Forerunner, Lux, NFX, Paul Graham, and Joe Montana — who have collectively invested over $100M behind this vision.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Novig is hiring a CFO to take on important duties. No, not the spreadsheet person. A Chief Fan Officer. We're talking about the single most locked-in, most passionate, most "I could coach this team better" sports fan in America.
If you live and breathe your team, and you're great on camera — this is the job for you. You watch, you yap, you take the Ws, you take the Ls personally. If you already do this for free, we're honestly a little insulted you haven't been getting paid for it. Let's fix that.
