Positioned as a weekend contractor role, this opportunity with BallerTV is perfect for individuals seeking flexibility and excitement.

As an independent contractor, you have the freedom to choose which events to accept based on your schedule. The events mostly take place on weekends, with potential setup days on Thursday or Friday.

It is essential to be prepared to stand on your feet for extended periods and lift heavy equipment throughout the workday.
Your responsibilities will include receiving, tracking, and handling all event equipment such as camera gear and marketing assets. You will set up BallerTV's streaming system at each court or field, ensuring all filming equipment is positioned strategically to capture the game efficiently. You must move safely, work efficiently, and operate with a sense of urgency to keep the event on schedule. During the games, you will monitor the streams closely to ensure consistency and troubleshoot any technical issues immediately to avoid disruptions. Communication with the BallerTV team during the event is vital, and a professional demeanor is expected at all times.
Besides the technical aspect of the work, this position offers the unique chance to watch live sports while on the job — a thrilling aspect for any sports enthusiast. The role also provides hands-on experience with the latest streaming technologies, helping you develop valuable skills in live event production and broadcasting. BallerTV supports their contractors by providing access to best practices, tools, and resources designed to ensure success in the field. Furthermore, there may be opportunities to travel to major tournaments, expanding your exposure and experience within the sports industry.
