The Role

As a Playout Operator, you’ll be on the front line of live WTA coverage, responsible for the seamless delivery of tennis broadcasts to global partners. Working within DAZN’s state-of-the-art facilities, you’ll monitor live feeds, manage broadcast signals, and ensure every transmission runs smoothly and on schedule. This is a shift-based role following the WTA calendar, which means working days, nights, weekends, and public holidays as part of a 24/7 operation. You’ll collaborate closely with internal teams to resolve technical issues quickly, maintain broadcast quality, and deliver a flawless on-air experience. Whether you’re ensuring the right feed is live or troubleshooting a technical fault under pressure, your calm and detail-oriented approach will help keep tennis fans connected to the sport they love.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Execute scheduled live events to ensure broadcasts run accurately and on time.
  • Monitor and perform quality control of all signals in and out of the WTA MCR.

  • Pre-empt potential broadcast faults and prepare resolution plans to minimise on-air impact.
  • Act as first point of contact for all broadcaster queries, including line-ups and incident management.
  • Work closely with multiple departments to maintain smooth broadcast operations.

What You'll Bring:

  • Experience working in a live broadcast or MCR environment (ideal, but not essential!)
  • Operational and technical familiarity with systems such as vision mixers and record systems.
  • Understanding of IP and satellite delivery workflows.
  • Calm, solutions-focused approach under pressure.
  • A genuine passion for sport — especially tennis — and enthusiasm for live broadcasting.
