Welcome to Rangiata | Sky, the ultimate entertainment destination that connects Kiwis to the stories and sport they love, in ways tailored just for them. Our Sky crew work tirelessly to ensure we are Aotearoa's most engaging and essential media company. We're incredibly proud of our achievements, but that doesn't mean we're satisfied. As innovators, we constantly challenge ourselves to redefine boundaries and adapt to the ever-changing marketplace.
Come be your authentic self at Sky, where we actively listen and adapt to create shared experiences that excite both our customers and our crew.
As an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer, we proudly champion inclusivity and diversity as our core values, and we are open to applicants of all gender identities to feel welcomed and supported during the application process. We have included a "Diverse" category for those who identify as non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, or any other gender identity outside the binary system of male/female.
Te Tūranga i The Role
We are looking for a new On Air Controller to join the team. You will be responsible for the faultless distribution of multiple channels across all SKY products and platforms. In this role, you’ll be working with broadcast and streaming technology to ensure all content such as programming, commercial and promotional content plays as scheduled across our Sport Channels, along with the streaming requirements to our partners.
You’ll need to think fast on your feet, make decisions through the lens of a customer, and handle the fast-paced nature of broadcast and media to achieve the best outcome for our customers. The ideal candidate will come with excellent organisational and time management skills, have a solutions-focused mindset, and love the fact that no two days are the same here! We provide training, so if you come with the attitude to soak up new skills like a sponge, we'd love to have you.
Please note! Due to the nature of on-air broadcasting, this role is part of a 24/7 roster and will involve rotations of evening, weekend and overnight work.
Key Responsibilities Will Include
We love what we do and are looking for people who share our passion for Sky and where we are going. You’ll bring your positive energy, have a keen eye for details, and have a natural ability to work collaboratively with peers at all levels, building strong relationships both internally and externally.
If this opportunity excites you and you want to join us in sharing stories, possibilities, and joy, apply online today. Please note that you must have the right to work in New Zealand or hold a valid work visa for at least 12 months from joining Sky.
We’re reviewing applications as they come in, and once we’ve found the right addition to our Sky Crew, we’ll blow the final whistle on this ad. If you’re ready to get off the sidelines and into the action, apply now.
At Sky, we understand that conventional recruitment processes may limit some individuals. That's why we strive to support all candidates, offering reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process. If you need any accommodations, please reach out to us at Sky jobs, [email protected] .
