Head of Broadcast & Live Production

About CineArk

CineArk is the trusted technical partner to the world’s most ambitious productions, from studio features to high-end television and broadcast. Operating from London, Dublin, and Cardiff, we specialise in video, RF, data, DIT, networking, and comms, with a focus on supporting physical production by connecting people and technology. 

Broadcast and live events are becoming increasingly cinematic. Log colour workflows, live grading, cinema cameras, virtual production and augmented reality are now embedded within sports, concerts and large-scale live productions.

CineArk sits uniquely at this convergence. 

Brief Role Description

CineArk already operates complex wireless, RF and comms infrastructure at scale within high-pressure production environments and is now launching a dedicated Broadcast & Live Production division. We are seeking a commercially proven operator to establish and scale this division from the ground up, reporting directly to the Managing Director and operating as part of the senior leadership team.

The role carries full commercial accountability and significant autonomy. This is not a maintenance role. It is a build role. 

For the right candidate who delivers meaningful growth aligned with agreed milestones the upside includes uncapped commission and meaningful equity participation in the business. 

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Hunt and convert broadcast and live production clients 
  • Leverage existing relationships to generate immediate revenue 
  • Drive rental of wireless camera systems and/or broadcast-grade comms 
  • Develop OB, sports, touring and live event accounts 
  • Identify convergence opportunities between cinema and broadcast 
  • Build and manage a robust, forecastable sales pipeline 
  • Develop bespoke equipment and solution 
  • Influence pricing architecture and future inventory strategy offerings 
  • Recruit and grow a dedicated sales function over time 
  • Contribute strategically at weekly senior leadership meetings 

Performance and Scale Objectives

Stage 1 - Prove the Model

  • Monetise existing wireless camera / comms / DIT equipment and services into broadcast or events.  
  • Generate revenue within 3 months 
  • Build £500k+ qualified pipeline within 12 months 
  • Cover your seat through gross profit contribution 

Stage 2 - Scale the Division

  • Establish repeat broadcast/events clients 
  • Formalise pricing and service structures 
  • Influence inventory decisions 
  • Define required broadcast-specific investment  

Stage 3 - Own the Vertical

  • Generate new revenue streams from broadcast-specific assets & services 
  • Shape CAPEX strategy 
  • Build and lead a commercial team 
  • Position CineArk as a leader in cinematic live production

  • Strong emotional intelligence, professionalism, and the ability to build relationships with a diverse range of people. 

Why Join

This is not a corporate sales role. 

It is an opportunity to build a vertical inside a technically respected business, shaping how cinematic and live production converge over the next five years. For the right individual who proves the model and scales the division, equity participation and uncapped commission is available subject to agreed milestones.
