About The Position

Swish Breaks, headquartered in NYC, is a rapidly growing live shopping company specializing in sports, trading cards, and collectibles. They are developing a multi-platform commerce and entertainment ecosystem with a strong community presence across various platforms like Whatnot, Fanatics Live, and TikTok. The company culture emphasizes speed, product obsession, and redefining the global customer shopping experience.

The Broadcast Tech Manager will be responsible for the technical infrastructure of Swish's live streams, covering daily shows, major events, and on-site activations. This role involves transforming current setups into polished, repeatable systems by enhancing rooms, standardizing workflows, and launching a signature broadcast that establishes the Swish brand identity. The position requires a hands-on technical expert who can quickly adapt to new technologies and is dedicated to maintaining high standards of quality, reliability, and streamer experience. Collaboration with streamers, operations, content teams, and leadership is key to ensuring every stream is of premium quality. This role operates within the realm of modern live media, utilizing tools such as OBS, lighting, cameras, graphics, and platform-specific tools from YouTube and Twitch, extending to live shopping platforms like Whatnot, Fanatics Live, and TikTok Live Shopping.

Requirements

• 6-8+ years of hands-on experience building and operating live production systems across modern streaming platforms and broadcast environments
• Real reps in live production, from creator platforms (YouTube, Twitch, TikTok), live shopping platforms to broadcast environments
• Deep hands-on command of the live stack—OBS, cameras, lighting, audio, encoding, and live workflows
• A builder’s track record, taking production setups from scrappy to scalable
• Strong live judgment, staying cool and decisive when streams are live and stakes are high
• Fast-learner energy, picking up new tools, platforms, and workflows without waiting for permission
• Clear communication instincts, helping non-technical streamers look confident and professional on camera

Nice To Haves

• Experience in live shopping, creator marketplaces, ecommerce, sports, and/or TCG
• You are a culture warrior and thrive in expressive environments (streetwear, sports, gaming, media)
• You love creators, fans, collectors, and the culture that surrounds them — this isn’t just a job to you

Responsibilities

• Own how Swish shows up live, delivering streams that look premium, feel intentional, and never break in front of fans
• Design the broadcast blueprint, turning cameras, lighting, audio, OBS, and graphics into repeatable setups that scale fast
• Level up Swish’s flagship rooms, powering marquee shows, partners, and moments that define the brand
• Build plug-and-play production systems that unlock new channels, new locations, and off-site activations without chaos
• Own the post-stream pipeline, ensuring clean asset capture, media management, and smooth handoff into post-production, social, and content workflows
• Be the calm in the chaos, setting quality standards, documenting systems, training streamers, and fixing live issues when it actually matters
