At DAZN Japan, we deliver a wide range of domestic and international sports content via live streaming, along with original programming such as athlete interviews and highlights. We are currently seeking an experienced Producer to join our team and lead the production of both live and nonlive programming, primarily in the fields of baseball and football.

This role requires proven experience in producing sports-related content for TV or streaming platforms, as well as leadership and team management experience. The ideal candidate will be responsible for planning, producing, and ensuring the quality of both live and non-live content.

You will work collaboratively across internal and external teams to execute content strategies aligned with our business objectives—such as maximizing audience engagement and creating new sponsorship opportunities—through the delivery of outstanding sports content.

We particularly welcome candidates with experience in:

• Directing or producing live sports broadcasts from OB vans, or from tv studios.
• Producing off-tube (remote) commentary-based broadcasts
