Production & Broadcast Tech Manager

Swish Breaks, New York, NY, USA

Pay: $75,000-$100,000/yr

Job type: Full Time


THE OPPORTUNITY
Swish Breaks, headquartered in NYC, is one of the fastest‑growing live shopping companies in sports, trading cards, and collectibles. We’re building a multi‑platform commerce and entertainment ecosystem with a loyal community across Whatnot, Fanatics Live, TikTok, and digital experiences. Our team moves fast, obsesses over the product, and is redefining the shopping experience for customers all over the globe. If you want to help change the game this is the place.

About The Role
The Broadcast Tech Manager owns how Swish shows up live. This role builds and operates the technical backbone behind Swish’s live streams across daily rooms, marquee moments, and onsite activations. You’ll turn scrappy setups into a polished, repeatable system by upgrading rooms, standardizing workflows, and launching a flagship broadcast that defines the Swish look. This isn’t legacy broadcast—it’s modern live media across OBS, lighting, cameras, graphics, and platform‑native tools from YouTube and Twitch extended to Whatnot, Fanatics Live and TikTok Live Shopping.

Responsibilities

Own how Swish shows up live, delivering streams that look premium, feel intentional, and never break in front of fans

Design the broadcast blueprint, turning cameras, lighting, audio, OBS, and graphics into repeatable setups that scale fast

Level up Swish’s flagship rooms, powering marquee shows, partners, and moments that define the brand

Build plug‑in‑play production systems that unlock new channels, new locations, and off‑site activations without chaos

Own the post‑stream pipeline, ensuring clean asset capture, media management, and smooth handoff into post‑production, social, and content workflows

Real‑world experience in live production, from creator platforms (YouTube, Twitch, TikTok), live shopping platforms to broadcast environments

Deep hands‑on command of the live stack—OBS, cameras, lighting, audio, encoding, and live workflows

A builder’s track record, taking production setups from scrappy to scalable

Strong live judgment, staying cool and decisive when streams are live and stakes are high

Fast‑learner energy, picking up new tools, platforms, and workflows without waiting for permission
