Your New Role...

The Live Remote Sports Director is the creative and technical authority in the production truck on game day. Reporting to the Coordinating Director of Live Remote Productions, this role is responsible for directing all camera, replay, graphics, and audio elements of live and near-live remote sporting events for TNT Sports broadcasts. The Director collaborates closely with Producers, Technical Directors, Associate Directors, and Broadcast Associates to execute production plans that are both strategically sound and visually stunning. This position requires significant travel and a flexible schedule aligned to the live sports calendar.

• Serve as the primary creative authority in the production truck, calling all camera cuts, replay sequences, graphics deployments, and transitions during live remote broadcasts.
• Direct high-profile NHL, MLB, and NCAA events with a consistent, broadcast-quality "look and feel" that upholds TNT Sports standards and brand identity.
• Collaborate with the Producer pre-game to develop and execute a comprehensive production plan, including camera placements, show flow, graphics stings, music cues, and replay priorities.
• Lead and mentor Associate Directors (ADs) and Broadcast Associates (BAs), providing constructive, real-time coaching that elevates the entire crew.
• Actively champion the integration of new broadcast technologies, including MFP Productions (Remote Integration) workflows, IP-based production systems, and next-generation replay platforms.
• Communicate proactively and professionally with all departments-engineering, graphics, audio, EVS operators, and league/team media relations-to ensure seamless execution.
• Think forward: review upcoming games and events in advance and develop production plans that allow operations and engineering teams to prepare thoroughly.
• Contribute creatively to all show elements including content selection, music, graphics packages, and special production elements for marquee broadcasts.
• Adapt quickly and calmly in dynamic live-event environments, solving technical and creative challenges without disrupting the broadcast.
• Maintain awareness of league rules, broadcast rights requirements, and credentialing protocols for all sports properties.
• Be available for a 24/7 live sports schedule including weekends, holidays, and playoff runs as required.

Qualifications & Experiences...

Required:

• Minimum 5 years of experience as a Director in remote live sports production at a regional network level or higher.
• Demonstrated directing experience on NCAA basketball, NHL, MLB, or NASCAR broadcasts at a regional network level or higher; experience across multiple TNT Sports properties strongly preferred.
• Extensive hands-on experience directing in full large-scale production trucks and MFP production environments.
• Deep working knowledge of multi-camera production, replay systems (EVS or equivalent), broadcast graphics platforms, and production switchers.
• Experience with computer-based rundown formats and the ability to read and execute complex show formats under live conditions.
• Proven ability to remain composed and decisive in high-pressure, fast-moving live broadcast situations.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to lead a large crew and build productive relationships with league and team media relations personnel.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop emerging production talent.

Preferred:

• Experience directing national-level live sports broadcasts for a major network or sports cable property.
• Familiarity with IP-based broadcast workflows and cloud-based production tools.
• Experience directing both regular-season and playoff/championship-level events.
• Forward-thinking mindset with a track record of proposing and adopting new production techniques or technologies.
