Troubleshoot in real time and keep broadcasts stable under pressure

Oversee multi‑camera switching, audio routing, graphics integration, and live replay workflows

Hands‑on experience with Castr, OBS, vMix, and/or Wirecast (or comparable tools)

Solid knowledge of YouTube Live, including channel operations, monetization basics, and CMS workflows

Proven ability to lead crews calmly during live pressure moments

Strong organizational skills—able to write clean SOPs, checklists, and setup diagrams

Willingness to travel internationally and adapt quickly on‑site

Passion for sports; interest in billiards/cue sports is a plus

Bonus Points

Experience with international productions and/or multilingual broadcasts

Why Join Us
This is more than streaming a game. It’s about leading a movement, showcasing talent, and pushing the boundaries of what live sports can look like. If you thrive under pressure, live for precision, and lead from the front—this is your shot.
