Job Description
Overview
Over 25 years, Eurosport has established itself as a household name for live sports. Now, Warner Bros. Discovery has re-energised Eurosport to connect fans and athletes around the sports they love.

Eurosport produces authentic, premium, and innovative content on linear and digital platforms. It combines expertise, passion and resources to develop high-value programmes and offer unrivaled coverage to viewers in 99 countries, in 21 languages. Having secured the exclusive European broadcast rights for the Olympics until 2024, there's no better time than now to join Eurosport on this incredible adventure!

Core to Eurosport's strategy is the Eurosport Cube. A mixed-reality studio that is used for presentation, analysis as well as live and pre-recorded studio shows. The technology behind the studio is built on the Unreal engine and uses a mix of other LED and Green screen technologies.

As the Unreal artist, you will help with the upkeep of the virtual studios, always looking to add improvements and constantly working to push technology further. As XR is still in its infancy you'll help lead development and technologies from design to pre-production to full-blown productions. Eurosport has a huge portfolio of content that is supported by The Cube including The Olympics Games, Tennis Grand Slams, Cycling Grand Tours and many more. It's an amazing opportunity we want you to be part of.
