The energy of a newsroom. The pace of a trading floor. The buzz of a recent tech breakthrough. We work hard, and we work fast - while keeping up the quality and accuracy we're known for. It's what keeps us inventing and reinventing, all the time. "Our culture is wide open, just like our spaces." We bring out the best in each other. And through our countless volunteer projects, we help bring out the best in the communities around us, too. You can do amazing work here. Work you couldn't do anywhere else. It's up to you to make it happen.

An opportunity has arisen to join the freelance pool of multi-skilled operators at Bloomberg's brand new hi-tech London broadcast facility. You'll enjoy being part of a busy team delivering live output on a global scale. Simultaneously working on guest setup, satellite bookings, feeds, live channel transmission and our new live streaming Twitter platform. We will provide full training to the candidate who can display an aptitude for working in a cutting edge technical environment.

We'll trust you to:

  • Get involved in an innovative technical environment and help drive our use of new technologies.
  • Be part of a team that works to have the highest quality of final output and global transmission.
  • Work across multiple departments in the London operations including Master Control, TX and Studio.

  • Work with reporters and producers on live output and OB setup.
  • Develop channel management skills including understanding and editing logs and manual interventions to live channels.
  • Ensure content QC of a high level.

You need to have:

  • Experience within a technical TV environment.
  • Demonstrable ability to work quickly and accurately under tight deadlines and pressure in a client-focused environment.
  • An aptitude for technical understanding and problem solving.
  • Flexibility over your working hours (role will involve nights, weekends & 12 hour shifts).
  • Knowledge of video standards, codecs and conversion.
  • Knowledge and experience of LiveU, Pebble Beach & BNCS systems would be a bonus, but not essential.
