We are seeking an experienced Live Broadcast Technical Supervisor and Vision Mixer to join our live operational broadcast team, working across multiple production galleries to deliver live vision mixing duties cutting live feeds.
The successful candidate will supervise and mentor team members, monitoring performance, driving quality standards, resolving issues in real time, and providing direct operational duties and support — including vision mixing, robotic camera operations, and other gallery functions. This role will be required to assess and supervise teams with cross-functional duties to provide quality assurance and control for live broadcast operations.
You will also oversee technical setups in live, mission-critical broadcasting environments, liaise closely with engineering teams to troubleshoot issues, and ensure that broadcast output meets safety, technical, and editorial standards. This role will require technical supervision for production gallery facilities to support troubleshooting and first line maintenance, working in close collaboration with our team of Broadcast Engineers and technicians.
This part-time, fixed-term role therefore combines supervisory oversight with hands-on operational expertise to ensure the highest standards of live broadcast delivery.
This position will work alongside the management team and other senior operational staff members as necessary. While the role is operational and technical, it also requires a strong hands-on leadership experience and a capability to demonstrate and uphold best practice in a live environment.

- Foster a high-performance culture that promotes accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
- Support a positive, professional team environment, maintaining morale and mutual respect even under high-pressure conditions, and encouraging constructive communication across all operational levels.
Skills & Experience Required
- Proven track record in live, unscripted broadcast environments, with confident real-time editorial and technical decision-making under pressure.
- Strong leadership skills, with the ability to direct and support both senior and junior team members in high-pressure live environments.
- Hands-on experience in live gallery operations, including vision mixing and robotic camera operation.
