- Shape the technical roadmap, identifying opportunities for transformation and introducing technologies that elevate performance and quality.
- Manage capital investment and operational budgets, ensuring efficiency while supporting strategic growth.
- Deliver complex broadcast projects — from major event coverage and technology upgrades to new studio builds — on time and within budget.
- Build, inspire, and develop a high‑performing technical and production team known for collaboration, innovation, and reliability.
- Partner with leadership, content, and commercial teams to align technical delivery with creative and strategic objectives.
Key Requirements

- Strong strategic, commercial, and project management capability, with experience overseeing large budgets and complex delivery pipelines.
- A passion for innovation and continuous improvement, always looking for smarter, faster, better ways to broadcast.
