Job summary

FashionUnited seeks a Director of Multimedia to lead global technology, production, broadcast, engineering, and operational capabilities powering multimedia experiences and digital media infrastructure. This leader combines live production, streaming, post-production, and infrastructure into a unified capability.

This role does not own creative strategy; it provides the technology, production expertise, and operational discipline to bring creative vision to life reliably, at scale, and globally.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of progressive experience in multimedia technology, live event production, broadcast engineering, AV engineering, or related disciplines.
• 7+ years of leadership experience managing multidisciplinary technical production, engineering, broadcast, or AV/multimedia teams.
• Proven experience leading complex, high-profile live productions, executive events, and broadcasts, including run-of-show development, show calling, and technical direction.
• Strong engineering knowledge of professional audio, video, broadcast, camera, switching, routing, lighting, LED, streaming, encoding, recording, and AV-over-IP technologies.
• Hands-on or leadership-level experience with post-production/editing workflows: NLE platforms, media management, motion graphics finishing, and multi-format output.
• Experience establishing preventive maintenance, monitoring, incident management, and technology lifecycle programs.
• Experience managing digital asset infrastructure: media storage, backup/disaster recovery, retrieval systems, archival standards for finished content.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical execution of high-profile productions: executive town halls, leadership meetings, conferences/summits, brand events, broadcasts, and hybrid experiences.
• Translate creative concepts and business requirements into technical production plans, including run-of-show development, show/shot calling, technical direction, crew planning, and rehearsals.
• Direct audio/video engineering, multi-camera production, switching, graphics/playback integration, lighting, LED/projection, and remote/hybrid production.
• Establish a disciplined production methodology: rundowns, cue structures, escalation procedures, redundancy, and contingency planning for every major production.
• Own broadcast distribution architecture and standards, including encoding, signal routing, and delivery to internal and external audiences.
• Own enterprise streaming platform strategy — live streaming, on-demand distribution, CDN performance, and access/rights controls across global audiences.
• Own the post-production/editing pipeline for final multimedia deliverables: ingest, editing, versioning, approvals, graphics/motion graphics finishing, and output formatting for multiple platforms (web, signage, social, broadcast).
• Establish standards for archival and re-use of finished content, ensuring edited assets are properly stored, tagged, and retrievable.
• Own day-to-day operational health of the multimedia ecosystem, shifting from reactive support to proactive engineering and preventive maintenance.
