About the role

Versant Media in New York City is seeking an experienced Studio Director to lead world-class live programming across broadcast, social, and digital platforms. You will direct complex live broadcasts from a traditional control room and guide editorial decisions from day one. The ideal candidate has 7+ years directing live television in major markets, strong command of iNEWS/Vizrt, and a proven ability to manage crews under pressure. This DGA-covered role offers a dynamic, high-stakes environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
