Live Video Producer (Part-Time)

  • Contract

Company Description

Ultiworld is the leading news media organization in disc sports (ultimate frisbee and disc golf). From deep reporting to incisive analysis to live video production, Ultiworld is at the forefront of content creation in the fast-growing disc sports world.

Job Description

Ultiworld is seeking to hire new members of our video production team as we continue to expand our live video offerings.

As a small company, we offer a high degree of flexibility in job tasks. You will work with our Director of Video to help in some or all of the following areas: 

- On-site live producing and directing for live produced events
- Live graphics creation and playout
- Live replay control and playback
- Live audio mixing
- Set up and strike for live video events

While a knowledge of ultimate is certainly a plus, the ideal candidate will be a fan of sports and enjoy creating fun and engaging sports content. Knowledge of live video workflows is very helpful, though not required.

We are a fully remote company. Candidates for live video producing should expect to travel weekends and potentially up to a week at a time on site for live events around the US and sometimes overseas. 

This is contract-based work with the potential to become a part-time or full-time position depending on need.

Qualifications

- Experience in video production, editing, live broadcast, or other audio/video roles

- Travel nationally and occasionally internationally is required

- Knowledge of live video workflows (streaming via hardware switching, VMix, Wirecast, etc.) is a plus

- Knowledge of video or audio signal flow is a plus 

- Excellent communication skills and comfort working in a remote workplace (we use Basecamp, Discord, and Google Suite software)

- Strong attention to detail and the ability to thrive in a high pressure live environment is critical

As an equal opportunity employer, Ultiworld seeks to build and support a media landscape that meets or exceeds the diversity of the community we serve. We fully acknowledge the shortcomings related to a lack of diversity in our current staff, specifically at the leadership level. As part of Ultiworld’s commitment to equity, we encourage individuals from groups and identities historically underrepresented in the sport and in traditional media to apply. These include, but are not limited to, identities based on race, ethnicity, sex, gender, status as a sexual or gender minority, socioeconomic status, ability status, and current service members or veterans. Ultiworld recognizes that many candidates may not have a specific background in sports media, and we encourage those who have a foundational set of writing and communication skills, project management, and an interest in growing to apply. You do not need to have played at the most competitive levels of the sport to be considered.
