DIRECTOR OF TALENT SCOUTING & DEVELOPMENT (REMOTE)

The Locked On Podcast Network was founded in 2016 (acquired by TEGNA in 2021). Since inception, we have proudly been an innovator and digital media pioneer. We were one of the first podcast networks to focus exclusively on short-form, daily podcasts that are now the industry standard. We created the local team podcast model that is now a leading industry segment. And we have launched some of the most popular sports podcasts in the country. Today, Locked On produces 180+ podcast shows for audio and video, providing in-depth coverage of every NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL team plus most major college sports teams. We also publish industry-leading, league-wide daily podcasts for fantasy sports, sports betting, league drafts, and more. Currently, we publish more than 700 podcast episodes each week for audio and video that generate an audience of nearly 12 million listeners and viewers a month.
