Get Access To All JobsAbout Superstat
Superstat is one of the fastest growing sports tech startups in the world. We turn sports game film into pro-level sports stats using computer vision. Think ESPN level data but for High school, Rep or even Monday night social sport with your friends!
Since launching at the start of this year, we have:
- Raised $3.5M from Blackbird VC
- Grown to 5,000+ teams using Superstat
- Launched the world's fastest sports computer vision model.
We're looking for a content lead who can turn Superstat, our users (players, coaches, clubs) and our founders into stories people want to follow. Someone who can spot an interesting moment, a story and find a hook that gets the audience engaged and wanting to follow along.
You'll build Superstat's organic social media channels and the personal brands of our founders. You'll come up with the content ideas, create the content and become part of the story yourself.
The role
Your time will be split roughly equally between creating Superstat content and Founder/Team member content:
- Superstat: build an audience of sports coaches, parents and players through user stories, highlights, education and the story of Superstat. Turn that interest into people trying the app and uploading their first game.
- Founders and Team: document the journey of building Superstat. Create personal brands that attract potential teammates, new users and partnerships.
Think of it as an ongoing series about building Superstat. The team are recurring characters, including yourself, and your job is to find the stories that make people want to come back.
This is (at least initially) a solo production role. You'll own content ideas, scripting, filming, editing, writing, publishing and performance analysis.
What you'll do
- Find stories and hooks in customer experiences, founder conversations, sports and everyday company life.
- Film and edit short videos for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, alongside long-form YouTube videos.
- Help the Superstat team communicate naturally in their own voices, from directing a shoot to asking questions that bring out engaging stories.
- Present on camera, interview people and become a familiar face of Superstat.
- Create supporting LinkedIn and X posts, photos and carousels.
- Plan filming, organise footage and keep the accounts publishing consistently.
- Use audience response, retention and customer actions to improve the next round of content.
What we're looking for
Your strongest skill is storytelling. You understand why an opening grabs attention, why someone keeps watching and why they would follow an account.
You have good instincts for building a community around a person or product. You can make Superstat a natural part of content its audience already cares about.
You're comfortable directing other people, bringing ideas and following through. You can independently shoot, edit and publish, and you enjoy being on camera.
You're a sports fan and curious about what players, coaches and parents care about. Sports expertise can develop on the job.
Show us the ability in your work. That could be a personal account, client work, something you made for an employer or a strong demo of what you would create for Superstat.
How we'll work
Over your first 90 days, you'll learn the Superstat product, get to know founders' voices and establish formats and a publishing routine.
Over the first 90 days, you'll also join the founding team capturing content at sports tech events in Switzerland, Singapore and Sydney (There will be no shortage of content opportunities!)
Each founder/Team member will commit time each week to filming and interviews as needed so you'll have regular access to the people building Superstat.
Success looks like a growing, engaged audience of relevant people, more inbound interest in joining the Superstat team and more new users creating an account and uploading their first game to Superstat.
The opportunity
- US$100,000–120,000 base salary, depending on experience.
- Equity Ownership of venture backed company + one of the fastest growing sports tech companies globally.
- Company-funded travel to capture stories at events and other moments in the company's journey. Upcoming trips are planned for Switzerland (December), Singapore and Sydney (January).
- Creative ownership of how Superstat and its founders show up publicly.
We welcome applicants from across the US and also Australians interested in relocating. You'll need to work with us in Austin five days a week. Visa support for Australian applicants is subject to eligibility.

Search Sports Jobs in TexasSports Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
Which sports companies in Texas sponsor work visas?
Major Texas sports organizations that sponsor visas include the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Texas Rangers, and Houston Astros. University athletic departments at UT Austin, Texas A&M, Rice, and TCU also sponsor international staff. Additionally, sports marketing agencies, athletic training facilities, and golf course management companies throughout Texas regularly sponsor H-1B visa and other work visas for specialized roles.
What visa types are most common for sports jobs in Texas?
H-1B visas dominate for analytics, marketing, and business operations roles in Texas sports organizations. O-1 visas are common for coaches, trainers, and performance specialists with extraordinary ability. P-1 visas serve individual athletes and entertainment performers at sporting events. University sports programs often use J-1 visas for international coaching exchanges and research positions in sports science and kinesiology departments.
How to find sports visa sponsorship jobs in Texas?
Use Migrate Mate to search specifically for sports visa sponsorship positions across Texas. The platform filters jobs by visa sponsorship history and industry, making it easier to identify opportunities with the Dallas Cowboys, Houston sports teams, university athletic departments, and emerging esports companies in Austin. Focus on roles in sports analytics, marketing, player development, and facility management where international expertise is valued.
Which Texas cities have the most sports visa sponsorship opportunities?
Dallas leads with professional teams like the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, and FC Dallas, plus corporate sports marketing roles. Houston follows with the Texans, Astros, Rockets, and Dynamo. Austin offers growing opportunities in esports, university athletics at UT, and sports technology companies. San Antonio provides options with the Spurs and collegiate programs, while Arlington hosts significant sports venue management opportunities.
Are prevailing wages competitive for sports roles in Texas?
Texas sports organizations typically meet or exceed federal prevailing wage requirements, with major professional teams offering competitive compensation packages. University athletic departments often provide additional benefits like housing allowances and professional development funds. The state's lower cost of living compared to California or New York makes Texas sports positions particularly attractive for international professionals, especially in cities like Austin and San Antonio.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored sports jobs in Texas?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
