Freelance Live Transmission Director

What's your new role about?
DAZN is growing! New sports rights are now being won regularly, new partnerships are being developed weekly and new teams are being built in every location! We're in partnership with Snap Inc. and YouTube to improve the way that you and our customers consume our content. We're developing new and original content in addition to our plethora of live events. We're streaming all over the world, with millions of subscribers across some of the most popular sporting events from the Champions League final through to the best boxing events.

So that's the sales pitch over! Want to help us with this growth? Come and join our freelance pool! We need people to work with us in our Transmission Team. You can work around your other commitments, as much or as little as you like, and you'll be given full training on the systems we use.

Obviously, you'd need to be close to the office (permanent opportunities are available). Freelancers are extensions of our excellent permanent team and are vital in us producing the best possible content to our customer base.

If you are interested in registering your interest for future freelance opportunities, then please share your CV and contact details and we will be in touch if something suitable comes up. If you don't hear from us this time around, then please check back in for future freelancer updates and for permanent roles.
