Head Of Production Operations

DAZN is reshaping how the world consumes live sport, delivering thousands of hours of top-tier events to millions of fans every year across 200+ countries. As we continue to scale our operations globally, we’re investing in innovation across every area of the business — including how we produce and deliver content. As Head of Production Operations, you’ll be at the forefront of our global broadcast output, ensuring the seamless execution of live and on-demand productions, from planning and logistics to delivery. Join a collaborative, high-performance culture that thrives on energy, efficiency, and excellence. 

As Head of Production Operations, you will define the editorial strategy and be accountable of all the Production P&L, lead the planning, coordination, and execution of all production logistics across DAZN’s global content slate. You will also manage all the Social Media strategy and operations. You will manage a team responsible for dealing with suppliers, scheduling, crewing, resource management, technical workflows with IT & transmission teams, and supplier relationships. This role is critical in ensuring live productions run smoothly, cost-effectively, and to world-class standards. This role will also be involved in the rights acquisition strategy for France: defining the value of rights and the best way to integrate them into DAZN's offers. 

 You’ll work closely with production, editorial, technology, and operations to create scalable processes that align with DAZN’s ambitious growth. Whether it’s ensuring live rights content is delivered on time, streamlining editing and publishing workflows, or aligning international teams on a shared approach, you’ll be at the centre of it all. This role requires a blend of strategic vision, operational detail, P&L accountability, Suppliers and partnership management, and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels to ensure DAZN’s content ecosystem performs at its very best.
