WTWO is on the hunt for a rockstar OBS Specialist!
Are you obsessed with livestreams, love being on camera, and know your way around Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)?

You'll be a go-to person for everything from breaking news to quirky, personality-driven stories - both in-studio and out in the field.
What You'll be Doing:
- Creative control of livestreams and video segments using OBS - from setup to hosting to upload.
- Plan and pull off daily live shows, breaking news hits, and special projects.

- Team up with news, promo, and digital folks to get your content seen and shared.
- Join live or taped shoots on location - yes, you get out of the building!
- Handle live-stream chaos like a pro - multitask, troubleshoot, and keep the show rolling.
- Get nerdy with the tech - learn the ins and outs of livestream setups and gear.
- Try new things! We want someone who is excited to experiment and push boundaries in the digital space.
- Polish your work - attention to detail is key to making your content shine.
- Know your way around cameras, lighting, and audio? Even better!
What You Bring to the Table:
- 2-3 years of on camera work and video production experience (bonus points for tech troubleshooting).
- Solid OBS skills or experience with similar streaming software.
- A self-starter attitude - you see a moment and know how to capture it.
- Awareness of what's happening in the world and who's making news.
- Journalism ethics - you know what's fair, accurate, and legal.
- Great people skills - whether you're flying solo or working with a team.
