We are seeking a highly skilled Lead Technical Event Producer to support executive-level and large-scale live events across EMEA and international regions. This position sits at the core of broadcast-grade event delivery, combining hands-on operating, live production management, and end-to-end technical ownership.
You will lead the technical build, delivery, and operation of digital, hybrid and in-person productions, including livestreams, vMix switching, multi-camera setups, lighting, audio, fibre workflows, and full AV infrastructure.

* Set up and run environments including lighting (DMX), audio (Dante), video signal flows, IP data connectivity, fibre, staging and switching
* Build spaces from scratch including internet, AV, lighting, audio and streaming infrastructure
* Oversee external providers including PRG, White Light and specialist AV suppliers
* Manage technical run-of-show, production cueing, and live room control
* Handle logistics for international travel of production equipment
* Work flexible hours to support production in other global time zones
* Manage budgets up to £500k
* Collaborate with US-based global production teams
* Travel monthly for fast-turnaround executive events (Paris, Dubai, Milan, etc.)
Requirements:
* Minimum 7+ years in technical event production, broadcast, live production, film or television
* Strong vMix operating skills
* Expertise in cameras, lighting, audio, livestreaming, fibre and broadcast workflows
* Ability to operate and lead simultaneously
