About the role
PMY is seeking an Associate Principal to serve as Discipline Lead for Broadcast Systems, responsible for the full breadth of the practice: broadcast cabling infrastructure, sports video production systems, and LED/scoreboard display design across educational, sports, and entertainment facilities, including stadiums, arenas, and other large-format venues. This is a senior technical leadership role for an individual who will carry final responsibility for the quality, consistency, and delivery of broadcast discipline work product across all assigned projects, while also managing the discipline itself: its standards, methodology, staffing, training, and operations.
You will represent PMY at a high level with clients, architects, and outside parties on broadcast matters, lead the assignment of work and resource allocation across the broadcast cabling, video production, and LED/scoreboard groups, and act as the final point of accountability for the discipline's delivery philosophy and work product. As an independent consultant, PMY is not aligned with any specific manufacturer. Designers under your leadership will objectively evaluate available technologies and recommend solutions based on performance, league and venue requirements, reliability, maintainability, budget, and project needs.

- Staff projects by assigning the right people from across the three specialty groups.
- Set the standards, methodology, and training the discipline works from, and keep them current.
- Set discipline-wide standards for confirming league requirements, including camera angles and platforms, and for coordinating AC power for TV trucks, broadcast booths, camera platforms, league racks, and common carriers.
- Handle hiring needs and day-to-day operations for the broadcast team.
- Sign off as the final word on broadcast work product before it goes out the door.
- Recruit, mentor, and evaluate staff across the discipline, from Designer up through Senior Consultant.

Project & Client Responsibilities
- Take the lead on the firm's most complex broadcast projects, across cabling, video production, and LED/scoreboard alike.
- Be the face of PMY's broadcast systems practice with clients, architects, and outside parties at a senior level.
- Act as Project Executive when assigned.
- Run client meetings, design reviews, and coordination workshops on the toughest jobs.
- Give final sign-off on system architecture across cabling, camera systems, control rooms, national TV, in-house video, radio, and replay systems, video networking, and LED/scoreboard design.
- Review and approve the drawings, specs, and bid documents the broadcast team produces.
- Make the final call on submittals, RFIs, and value-engineering proposals that touch broadcast scope.
- Get involved in commissioning and site issues when something needs a senior set of eyes.
- Drive business development for the discipline: proposals, pursuits, fee strategy.
Requirements
- 12+ years of experience across broadcast cabling, sports video production, and LED/scoreboard design, with demonstrated breadth and technical depth across all three areas.
- Proven experience leading and developing technical teams, with the ability to provide direction, mentorship, and technical oversight.

- Proficiency with Revit, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel.
- Familiarity with current video and broadcast networking protocols, including SMPTE 2110, NDI, and IP video.
- Strong written, verbal, presentation, and client-management skills, with demonstrated ability to represent the firm at a senior level.
