About the Hiring Company

We are a Philippine-based livestream gaming entertainment platform preparing to launch in Q3 2026. Operating under a Philippine Integrated Resorts and Casino license regulated by PAGCOR, we are building a dynamic team to deliver world‑class digital entertainment experiences. Our platform combines live gaming, original programming, and interactive content to create a unique entertainment destination for our audience.

We are looking for creative, driven professionals who want to be part of something new and exciting from the ground up.

About the Role

We are seeking a Programming Manager to drive the execution and day‑to‑day operations of our entertainment programming.

• Streamer Training and Development: Support the onboarding and development of on‑air talent. Coordinate streamer training sessions, rehearsals, and performance reviews to maintain broadcast quality.
• Schedule Optimization: Continuously analyze programming performance and viewership patterns. Optimize the streaming calendar based on audience behavior, peak times, and content performance metrics.
• Audience Engagement: Monitor real‑time audience engagement during live broadcasts. Troubleshoot issues in real time to ensure seamless productions and maximum viewer retention.
• Production Coordination: Manage relationships with on‑air talent, freelance producers, and external production partners. Maintain and optimize production resources, equipment, and studio schedules.
• Reporting: Track and report on programming performance, viewership metrics, and audience feedback to inform content decisions.

The Successful Candidates

• Bachelor's degree in Media, Communications, Film Production, Broadcasting, or a related field
• Minimum 3 years of experience in content programming, show scheduling, or production management within media, broadcasting, or digital entertainment
• Proven experience in live content planning and coordinating live or pre‑recorded show productions

• Understanding of audience engagement metrics and programming strategy
• Must be authorized to work in the Philippines
