Who We Are Looking For
If you thrive in a fast-paced live control room, have a deep passion for audio, and know your way around a robotic camera system, this role was built for you. Advanced Systems Group LLC is looking for experienced Control Room Operators to join a high-performing team supporting one of the most exciting live streaming platforms in the industry. Every production run is a simultaneous live broadcast and on-demand capture across multiple studio environments, meaning no 2 days are exactly the same and the work you do matters every single time the cameras roll.
The ideal candidate is a well-rounded studio production operator who leads with live audio expertise and brings solid video and robotic camera operator experience to the table. You are equally comfortable at an audio console and a robotic camera control system; you keep calm when things get complicated, and you take pride in delivering broadcast-quality output without missing a beat.
This position is part of our Flex Workforce. As a Flex team member, you'll work on a project-to-project basis, supporting a variety of leading media and technology clients. Flex roles are ongoing and dynamic, work may vary in cadence, length, and scope depending on client needs. This setup offers flexibility, exposure to top-tier companies, and the chance to grow your skills across multiple exciting assignments.
Estimated schedule: Shift-based rotation including early mornings, evenings, weekends (Saturdays and Sundays), and public holidays as required. Between 20 and 40 hour workweeks. (Specific schedules will vary by project and client engagement.)
