The Reading Royals production team is looking for a Wireless Camera Operator to join our Game Presentation team for the upcoming season. This isn’t a “stand in one spot and point a camera” job. We’re looking for someone who is quick on their feet, comfortable walking on ice, creative, funny, and willing to try things that haven’t been done before. You’ll operate our only wireless camera throughout Royals home games, capturing the fans, players, atmosphere, and spontaneous moments that make a night at the rink fun!

Responsibilities:
You’ll be moving throughout the arena during games, finding interesting people and moments, interacting with fans, and helping create the spontaneous, entertaining content that highlights how fun going to a Royals game is. We want someone who sees the camera as a tool for entertainment, not just documentation.
