About the Role

Lead the transformation of broadcast technology at DAZN Group, including Foxtel, Kayo Sports, and Binge, by shaping the future of AI, workflow orchestration, cloud infrastructure, and software-defined media operations to create a more efficient, scalable, and resilient global broadcast ecosystem.

Responsibilities

  • Own the global strategy and multi-year roadmap for broadcast automation, AI, and media workflow orchestration, aligning technology investment with DAZN Group's broadcast, streaming, and operational priorities.
  • Design and implement enterprise-scale orchestration architecture connecting ingest, scheduling, playout, MAM/PAM, media supply chains, and multi-platform distribution across live and file-based workflows.
  • Lead the modernization of legacy broadcast workflows, introducing API-driven, event-based automation across SDI/IP, SMPTE ST 2110, and cloud-based video infrastructure to reduce manual intervention and improve operational efficiency.
  • Drive the practical adoption of AI and Machine Learning across media operations, including automated quality control, metadata enrichment, content segmentation, highlights generation, anomaly detection, and predictive scheduling.
  • Establish intelligent monitoring and operational resilience through centralized telemetry, observability, SLA reporting, and self-healing workflows, improving service availability and reducing incident resolution times.
  • Partner with Broadcast Engineering, Operations, Product, Data, Security, and Technology teams to define technical requirements, influence architectural decisions, and deliver scalable, production-grade solutions.
  • Own the evaluation and selection of orchestration, automation, and AI technology partners, managing strategic vendor relationships and ensuring investment decisions deliver measurable operational and financial returns.
  • Lead complex transformation programs from initial concept and technical design through to deployment, adoption, and ongoing optimization, ensuring solutions meet the demands of high-volume live sports broadcasting.
  • Act as a senior technical authority across DAZN Group, influencing stakeholders, establishing engineering standards, and helping develop the capabilities, processes, and operating models required to support long-term transformation.

Requirements

  • Significant senior-level experience within broadcast engineering, media technology, streaming, or broadcast operations, ideally within a global broadcaster, OTT platform, or major media organization.
  • Proven experience defining technology strategy and delivering large-scale broadcast automation, media workflow orchestration, or digital transformation programs.
  • Strong hands-on knowledge of enterprise orchestration platforms such as DataMiner, SDVP, AWS Step Functions, or proprietary media workflow engines.
  • Deep technical understanding of live broadcast and streaming architectures, including SDI/IP, SMPTE ST 2110, cloud video infrastructure, MAM/PAM, playout, contribution, and distribution.
  • Practical experience applying AI/ML technologies to media operations, including automated QC, computer vision, speech-to-text, metadata enrichment, anomaly detection, or intelligent workflow automation.
  • A track record of taking complex technology solutions from concept and proof of concept through to reliable, highly available production environments.
  • Strong knowledge of observability, telemetry, incident management, service assurance, and resilient system design, particularly within business-critical live environments.
  • Experience managing strategic technology vendors, evaluating commercial proposals, and building business cases that demonstrate measurable ROI and operational improvement.
  • Exceptional communication, technical leadership, and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and multidisciplinary teams across a global organization.
  • Experience in live sports broadcasting, multi-brand media environments, and AI governance would be advantageous.
