Broadcast Producer

NECL broadcasts should feel like the biggest football event our fans have ever watched from the North-East. You'll shape the entire live picture — camera plan, on-air graphics, replay language, storyteller-driven commentary integration.

You'll work with our host broadcaster, digital team and league sponsors to deliver a broadcast that scales from a single fixture to a multi-venue playoff week.

• Design the multi-camera plan and running order for every live fixture.
• Direct live gallery on matchdays with the host broadcaster team.
• Own the graphics package, lower-thirds and OBB in coordination with brand.
• Coordinate commentary talent, pitchside reporters and post-match host segments.
• Deliver post-match highlights packages within 90 minutes of full-time.
• Run technical rehearsals and comms checks at every new venue.

• 5+ years producing live football, cricket or top-tier sports broadcasts.
• Command of live gallery workflow (vision mixing, EVS replay, graphics ingest).
• Working relationships with host broadcast crews in India.
• Willingness to work matchday weekends throughout the season.
• Fluent English communication with technical crew and on-air talent.

• Prior producer credit on ISL, I-League, Pro Kabaddi or IPL productions.
• Editorial instinct — you can pitch and write a segment, not just cut one.
• Experience with OTT-first broadcast workflows.
