  • A proven and demonstrable track record of successfully architecting and delivering large-scale, complex technology projects from concept through to production, preferably within a high-volume media, broadcast, sports, or entertainment environment.
  • This role requires a unique, hybrid expertise across media workflows, high-performance computing, data engineering, and applied AI.

  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate a compelling technology vision and report on progress and ROI to executive leadership.
  • Proven experience as a change agent and evangelist, with a history of successfully driving the adoption of new technologies and workflows within a complex organization.

    • Education
