MCR Operator

What's your new role about?
Want to be part of the exciting live action on DAZN's 24/7 global sports streaming platform? Then join the Leeds MCR Team at DAZN!

As an MCR Operator, you will work in a fast-paced live sports environment ensuring our live operations are uninterrupted and run smoothly. Our work is mission critical; we are on the front line of the company's global content ingest, pulling in sporting content from across the globe for use on multiple platforms. Our schedules follow global sport calendars, so this position requires working days, nights, weekends and public holidays on a shift basis along with the sports calendar.

You will join a close-knit team that values the desire to learn over previous experience (though both are ideal). We regularly promote internally so this is a wonderful place to start in your DAZN career. We are also proud that despite the workload, we try and keep a relatively relaxed atmosphere in the MCR. There's always someone at the kettle, ensuring you're kept well hydrated during a busy yet fun filled shift in the MCR!

If the above seems like a good fit – we'd love to meet you for an interview.
