Job Description
#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in?
We've got the brands, we've got the stars, we've got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet - now all we're missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter - both for our audiences and our employees - and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.
About the Role We are seeking contract professionals to support live broadcast and media operations across both cloud-based and on-premise environments. This role will be based in the Stamford, CT office and work alongside engineering and operations teams to support real-time broadcast workflows, monitor system health, and assist in troubleshooting and system setup. Structured training will be provided, but this role requires initiative and the ability to quickly build confidence in fast-paced, live environments. The ideal candidate brings a base of broadcast knowledge, fluency in cloud workflows, and the ability to learn and adapt as our platforms Evolve. The ideal candidate for this role appreciates the discipline and precision of traditional broadcast, while embracing the agility and innovation of modern streaming; someone who sees both worlds not as separate, but as converging.
