Description

Join DAZN Munich as our new Production Assistant to build your career in Sports Production! This is a great first step into the industry in an administrative role, providing practical operational support to the live production team across DAZN's DACH sports broadcasts. Reporting to the Senior Production Manager (Live Events), you'll work across a wide range of production tasks — from assisting with venue setup and equipment handling to supporting crew logistics, running errands during live broadcasts, and helping with post-production wrap.

This role is perfect for someone passionate about live sports broadcasting who is eager to learn, develop, and build a career in production. You will gain broad exposure to all aspects of live sports production — working alongside experienced producers, production managers, camera operators, and technical crew — while contributing to the operational efficiency of DAZN's production delivery.

The role requires energy, reliability, flexibility, and a willingness to take on whatever tasks are needed to support successful live production delivery — from the glamorous to the mundane.

This role is based in Munich, Ismaning and will spend time in the central Munich office also.

Please note, our Talent Acquisition team and some Hiring teams are based in the UK so parts of the recruitment process will be in English. Please also upload your resume in English, thanks!

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Provide hands-on support at live event venues, assisting with production setup, equipment positioning, cable management, signage placement, and venue preparation ahead of broadcasts. Support on site and wrap activities after productions conclude.
• Serve as a production runner during live events, supporting the production team and freelance crew with on-site needs — including distributing call sheets, managing crew refreshments, facilitating communication between production areas, and running time-sensitive errands during broadcasts as well as taking care of OnAir/Execo Travel arrangements to and from the venue.
• Assist with the loading, unloading, transport, and basic setup of production equipment required for onsite production. Support equipment inventory checks before and after events, flagging any missing or damaged items to the Production Manager or Senior Production Manager.
• Assist with on-site accreditation preparation (crew list), inserting all neccassary data into the league's tools (e.g. FAME/MST) plus where needed distribution, crew check-in, and venue navigation support.
• Help ensure that all production personnel have the correct access credentials and are directed to the appropriate production areas within venues.
• Support the Production Coordinator and Production Manager with administrative and communication tasks — including distributing schedules, updating crew contact lists, relaying messages between production team members, and maintaining production documentation during events.
• Assist the Production Coordinator with travel logistics tasks as needed — including collecting travel documents (e.g. Visa), coordinating ground transport at event locations, and supporting crew arrival and departure logistics.
• Assist with post-event administrative tasks — including compiling production reports, organising production documentation, returning equipment, and updating records.
• Actively seek opportunities to learn about all aspects of live sports production — including camera operations, audio, graphics, replay, directing, and production management. Shadow senior team members and develop skills that support career progression within DAZN's production function.

• Willingness and aptitude to learn production technology, tools, and systems on the job.
• Native or near-native German language proficiency is essential, with good English skills for communication with international crews and at UEFA events.

• Energetic, proactive, and willing to take on any task
• Strong common sense and practical problem-solving ability.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively within diverse production crews.
