Director, Media Solutions

#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.

Is this the role for you?

Channel 5 is looking for a Media Solutions Engineer to design and protect the broadcast and streaming workflows that power our linear, VOD, FAST and OTT platforms. This is a hands‑on architecture and subject matter expert role, sitting at the intersection of engineering, compliance and revenue protection — you’ll shape how content, metadata and monetisation systems work together across the business.

What will you be doing?

• Design end-to-end solutions across linear broadcast, VOD, FAST, OTT and metadata workflows, keeping streaming and linear platforms consistent
• Document technical architectures for playout, MAM, scheduling, ad‑tech and compliance systems
• Act as senior subject matter expert on linear and VOD broadcasting, advising on system behaviour, integration constraints and risk
• Provide specialist 3rd‑line support during incidents affecting revenue, ad‑tech performance or contractual obligations
• Diagnose issues affecting ad classification, insertion, platform matching and monetisation
• Partner with operations, ad‑sales and technology teams to find inefficiencies and design improvements
• Lead or contribute to proofs‑of‑concept, testing new approaches before wider rollout
• Support delivery teams through testing, go‑live and hyper‑care
• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders through diagrams, impact assessments and documentation

What are we looking for?

Essential

• Significant experience as a linear broadcasting subject matter expert, ideally across global and public service broadcaster environments, with deep knowledge of Broadcast Management Systems and complex content/metadata workflows
• 10+ years in VOD/OTT technology, including ad-supported delivery (AVOD/BVOD)
• Strong background in solution architecture, systems integration (including APIs) and change delivery
• Solid understanding of PSB constraints and regulatory obligations, with the ability to protect revenue-critical workflows
• Track record of resolving complex, high-pressure operational issues quickly and accurately
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to flex your style across audiences
• A collaborative, practical and detail‑focused approach, with sound judgement on technical trade‑offs

Desirable

• Experience with broadcast management applications (e.g. Mediagenix WhatsOn) and MAM, compliance or playout systems
• Comfortable using AI tools to boost productivity
• Experience defining cross‑platform workflows that treat streaming and linear equally
• Strong documentation skills — architecture diagrams, impact assessments, technical writing
