Job_Req_54722

Job Description :

Position: Studio Manager

Location: Dallas TX

Type: In office

This is a hands‑on, multi-skilled role running studio and technical operations for a new

News24 production hub in the United States. The broadcast is directed remotely from

our Sydney headquarters, so we need someone who can do the work on the ground,

not just manage it.

You will set up and run the studio or studios, support hosts and guests, manage the floor

during live broadcasts and recordings, keep equipment working, and be the first point of call

for fixing problems when something goes wrong. From a technical point of view, you will run

our US productions largely on your own, across a large time difference, with support from

producers on the ground and remote Engineering, IT, and Operations support from our Sydney

teams.

This role suits someone with broad broadcast and technical skills, and the confidence to work

independently and make the call on the day.

Reports to: Deputy Head of Operations

Key Responsibilities

• Studio operations: Set up, operate and troubleshoot studio and technical equipment, including cameras, lighting, audio and prompter.
• Floor management: Run the floor during recordings and live broadcasts and coordinate with the Sydney control room, technical, and ingest teams and other departments.
• Technical operation: Manage the local signal chain, including the feed to Sydney, the backup path, and the return feeds for vision, talkback and prompter.
• First-line engineering: While not a broadcast engineering role, you will be the first point of contact for diagnosing and fixing faults with cameras, audio, lighting encoders and connectivity under time pressure, and escape to our engineering and operations teams when you need to.
• Host broadcaster relationship: Be the day-to-day contact with our co-location partners, engineering, facilities and other teams.
• Equipment and readiness: Keep the studio and its equipment working, manage spares and faults, and flag what you need early.
• Build and commissioning: Support the move from an initial temporary studio to a permanent facility, including supporting installation and testing.
• Standards: Write and follow local operating procedures so the operation is consistent and someone can cover when you are away.
• Growth: Support special coverage and live events as the operation grows.

You have broad, hands‑on broadcast experience across studio, camera, audio, lighting

and floor management. You are comfortable being the only operator in the room.

Strong technical troubleshooting. You can understand and troubleshoot signal paths,

work with technical equipment including encoders, and fix basic problems without

waiting for someone else.

Experience with remote or distributed production, and the confidence to be the on-

site end of a team based elsewhere.

Self‑sufficient, with the judgement to know when to solve a problem yourself and

when to elevate.

A relationship builder who can earn the trust of a host broadcaster's staff and

represent us well on their site.

Adaptable and steady under live and breaking news pressure.

Willing to work hours that match Sydney production and US recording schedules.

Happy to work independently and take on tasks outside the day-to-day routine.

Join a culture where innovation is our operating rhythm. You’ll work on a diverse portfolio of Australia’s most loved brands and play a pivotal role in leading the technological shift in how we create commercial content. Our vibrant, work environment and dynamic, values-driven culture empowers you to push boundaries, collaborate as one unified team, and make a positive, measurable impact for all people.
