• Commercial Integration: Ensure flawless execution of commercial breaks during both taped and live programming.
• Catch Discrepancies: Act as the last line of defense against black screens, audio drops, or graphic glitches.
• Team Collaboration: Support on-air operations during our 2026 systems migration, participating in rehearsals, event preparation, and playlist execution.

What We’re Looking For

• Education/Experience: High School Diploma relevant certification/Associate’s/Bachelor’s Degree in Media, Communications, Film/TV Production, Broadcasting, Journalism, or equivalent hands-on media experience (AV tech, live streaming, campus TV/radio).
• Attention to Detail: An eagle eye for catching small errors in video, audio, and broadcast timing.
• Calm Under Pressure: Ability to stay composed, focused, and make quick decisions when unexpected technical glitches happen.
• Night Owl Readiness: Willing and available to work a dedicated 3rd-shift schedule (9:00 PM – 5:00 AM) in a 24/7/365 environment, including weekends and holidays.
• Location: Must live within commuting distance of Centennial, CO (100% onsite role).
