Job description

Red Bull Media House is seeking a Specialist, Technical Operations to help coordinate, support, and optimize technical workflows across both live and non-live productions. This role partners closely with production teams to provide operational guidance, assess technical feasibility during the planning process, and drive the development of scalable, repeatable production systems that support content creation across Red Bull North America. RESPONSIBILITIES

Areas that play to your strengths

All the responsibilities we’ll trust you with:

  • Consult and Advise Stakeholders: Partner with Broadcast Managers and the fuller Technical Operations team to align on technical approach, workflows, and platform requirements across projects, events and R&D. Work alongside producers, engineers, and operators to ensure smooth production execution across all playgrounds (Sports, Gaming, Culture). Support planning and coordination of production technical operations including engineering, equipment load-outs, and signal flow coordination across live and non-live productions. Contribute to early-stage feasibility conversations to identify risks, streamline production plans, and avoid last-minute pivots. Production & Technical Support: Provide hands-on support across Live, Non-Live, Capture, and Remote Productions. Assist with coordination across capture, encoding, transmission, and delivery workflows. Support platform-specific deliverables across digital, social, and broadcast ecosystems (YouTube, TikTok, IG, etc.). Maintain consistent technical execution standards across regional, global, and Red Bull North America driven projects. Processes & Documentation: Support and maintain technical documentation including signal flows, workflow diagrams, and production templates. Help develop repeatable systems and scalable workflows to improve efficiency as production volume increases. Support broadcast automation initiatives and standardized approaches across platforms and event types. Support internal tracking, communication, and “housekeeping” responsibilities across projects. New Technology & Innovation Support: Support testing, implementation, and execution of new production technologies, workflows, and tools. Provide feedback and reporting to the Senior Manager, Technical Operations on effectiveness and scalability

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in Digital Media, Technical Operations, or Broadcast Production
  • Working knowledge of the full broadcast delivery workflow (capture, production operations, transmission, encoding, delivery)
  • Experience supporting live, non-live and/or remote (REMI) productions
  • Familiarity with streaming platforms, encoding workflows, and digital distribution
  • Strong organizational, coordination, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work across multiple projects in fast-paced production environments
