About the role

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.

About Novig

At Novig, we have reimagined the sports betting landscape by building a sweepstakes-based sports prediction market. Our innovative platform allows users to engage in sports predictions without traditional gambling constraints. By leveraging the sweepstakes model, we ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while providing a unique, engaging, and profitable experience for our users. Our goal is to make sports prediction more accessible, fair, and enjoyable.

Novig’s founders, Jacob and Kelechi, are recent Harvard grads with experience at Jane St & BoA who started Novig with the belief that a commission-free P2P exchange model will replace the exploitative and unprofitable betting model of traditional sportsbooks. They themselves were sophisticated sports bettors who grew increasingly frustrated by the latency, discriminatory practices, monotony, and non-profitability of the retail sports betting experience.

As the regulatory landscape evolves in the United States, Novig is positioned to become a leading innovator with our unique focus on research and technology.
