## 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.

Disclaimer: This role is not for the casual observer. If you have ever left a game early to beat traffic, close this tab.

## WHO YOU ARE:

- You know ball. You can defend your team against any stranger, hater, or comment section
- You live on camera. Big personality, zero shyness — And the screen loves you back.
- You own content end-to-end. Script it, film it, edit it, post it daily across IG, Tik Tok, X, and more, to capture your city’s attention
- You’re locked in on nights and weekends — Duh, it’s football season
- You have a Novig account — You understand the product and its value
- You're 21+ – No McLovins
- You live where your team plays — No long-distance relationships

## WHAT YOU WILL DO:

- Go to the games. Every home game, on the house
- Host local events. Watch parties, tailgates, meetups - bring your fanbase together
- Capture it all. Create and share content from every game, event, and tailgate - the wins, the losses, the chaos in between.
- Be the face of Novig - Wherever fans gather, you're there repping the brand.
- Build the roster. Manage a team of Professional Sports Fans across the country - you're the commissioner.

## NICE-TO-HAVE

- Existing audience/following on TikTok, IG, or X
- Hall-of-Fame caliber Dance moves
- Strong local network → knows other fan accounts, athletes, bar/venue connections, game-day access
- Has correctly predicted the Gatorade color
- Basic performance-marketing literacy (knows what a hook is, reads their own analytics)
- Willing to tailgate at a professional level (and break folding tables if required)
- Access to game days (season ticket holder, media pass, tailgate regular)
- Prolific fantasy football punishment ideator
- Represent the company on local and national news broadcasts (especially if temperature falls below 20 degrees)
- Proficient in explaining obscure sports concepts (In-Field Fly Rule, Tuck Rule, etc.)
- A mullet

## PERKS & BONUSES

- Annual jersey stipend (Trade Insurance Included)
- Jumbotron appearance bonuses
- Impression and view bonuses
- Sign up bonuses
- Tickets (including Super Bowl tickets if your team makes it)

## COMPENSATION

- Monthly payments made based on project deliverables and performance bonuses with an estimated annual compensation between $100K - $300K
- Note: This is an independent contractor position and not full-time employment.

## APPLICATION: VIDEO SUBMISSION

- Make a short video showing us why you're the pick: your personality, your fandom, your takes. Be creative, show us why your city can't be repped by anyone but you.
- Post it publicly on Instagram, Tik Tok, or X, tag @Novig, use #ChiefFanOfficer, and drop the link in your application

Novig is an equal opportunity employer. Bandwagon fans will be considered, but viewed with suspicion.
