Live Events Technical Manager (Live Sports & Entertainment)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate: "Welcome to Warner Bros. Discovery… the stuff dreams are made of." etc. Also "Who We Are…" etc. Also "How We Get Things Done…" maybe we keep as a paragraph under maybe "About the role"? But it's about guiding principles; could be considered part of company culture but not a standard heading. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine the role description and the guiding principles into an "About the role" section.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Role description: "The Live Events Technical Manager is the key point of contact for day-to-day support of live productions within Production & Technical Operations (P&TO) at Techwood Studios. The Tech Manager provides the oversight, communication and documentation necessary to establish, execute and maintain consistency in Live Sports and Entertainment operations. The Tech Manager will have the knowledge to assist and support Engineering teams and Operators to ensure efficient and effective productions, escalating as necessary. This position must also maintain collaborative relationships between the various Technical and Operations teams, Engineering and our Sports and Entertainment partners. The Tech Manager will maintain a technical monitoring station during live shows at critical times to provide support as needed."
- Responsibilities (Your Role Accountabilities): bullet list:
- Serve as technical key point of contact during live productions, as well as monitor and communicate Engineering support during all live productions, including but not limited to:
- Be stationed at technical monitoring position for all major live events to ensure plans are followed
- Assist with setup and fax
- QC Video and Audio signals used for air
- Provide timely executive level communications of technical issues that affect live productions
- Technical planning, communication and execution for P&TO's Live Sports and Entertainment Operations
- Partner with Production, Tech Ops, Engineering and Operations teams:
- Manage, execute and communicate the technical details of all studio productions in conjunction with Operations, Engineering and other technical teams
- Assist and support Engineering and Operators with technical setup and issues as needed, properly escalating when necessary
- Resolve potential issues and technical resource conflicts in advance of production and following up as needed post-production to ensure future successes
- Lead pre- and post-show technical meetings and/or send follow-up reports as necessary
- Provide organized and effective live technical plans and documentation for live events. This ensures smooth live operations and provides historical data for after-action discussions
- Develop and maintain live events documents to be used to communicate technical show needs for our staff and partners
- Collaborate with Production, Technical operations and Engineering to evaluate and help determine the strategic use of current and future technology
- Assess technical operations methods and recommend changes where necessary
- Assist with testing and execution for current and future workflows and technologies and provide feedback as needed
- Engage with other internal teams and external vendors as needed on the above
- Qualifications & Experiences:
- College degree required
- Fluency in English – written and spoken
- 10+ years of prior experience in Television Production
- 5+ years of prior experience in Project Management
- Proven leadership and exemplary customer service skills
- Superior analytical and problem-solving skills
- Attention to detail
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Superb relationship building skills
- Work collaboratively with teams
- Ability to handle multiple assignments concurrently
- Not Required but preferred experience:
- Technical Director, A1 and/or previous Technical Manager experience
- In-depth operational experience with routers and intercoms
- Strong knowledge of production switchers, audio consoles, EVS, cameras and graphics systems
- Knowledge of and passion for media, entertainment, and technology industries (including key players, growth trends and drivers, new media models, industry structure, etc.)
- Experience working in a national or global media company
- How We Get Things Done…: guiding principles link; we could include as a paragraph under maybe "About the role" or separate section "Company Culture". But the instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The guiding principles content is specific: "Here at WBD, our guiding principles are the core values by which we operate and are central to how we get things done. You can find them at www.wbd.com/guiding-principles/ along with some insights from the team on what they mean and how they show up in their day to day. We hope they resonate with you and look forward to discussing them during your interview." That's substantive. Could be a section "About the company" or "Culture". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The list includes those specific headings. We should use those headings only. So we need to map content to those headings. "About the role" can include role description and maybe guiding principles? But guiding principles is more about company culture, not role. However we could still put it under About the role as extra context. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those headings. We should not create other headings like "How We Get Things Done". So we will embed that paragraph inside About the role.
Thus sections:
- About the role: includes role description paragraph + maybe the guiding principles paragraph.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list under Your Role Accountabilities.
- Qualifications: includes the required qualifications list.
- Skills: maybe we could separate skills from qualifications? But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings available. The posting lumps qualifications and skills together; we could put all under Qualifications. Or we could split: Qualifications (education, experience) and Skills (leadership, analytical, communication, etc.). That would be better to use both headings meaningfully. Let's do:
Qualifications: College degree required; Fluency in English; 10+ years TV Production; 5+ years Project Management.
Skills: Proven leadership; exemplary customer service; Superior analytical and problem-solving; Attention to detail; Excellent written and verbal communication; Superb relationship building; Work collaboratively; Ability to handle multiple assignments concurrently.
Preferred experience could be under Qualifications as "Preferred qualifications" or maybe under Skills? But we can add a subsection under Qualifications for "Preferred experience". However we should not create extra headings; we can just include as a under Qualifications with a note "Preferred (not required):". That's okay.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections because not mentioned.
