Technology Director

Behind every sold-out show, every unforgettable fan experience, every seamless ticket scan, every perfectly timed spotlight and every epic encore, there's technology making the magic happen.

At YTL Live, we're not just opening a new venue; we're creating one of the UK's most exciting destinations for live entertainment. And we're looking for a Technology Director to be at the heart of it.

This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up. You'll shape the technology strategy that powers our venues, lead the delivery of the systems and infrastructure needed to launch Aviva Arena, and create the digital foundations that will support our ambitions for years to come.

From cyber security and connectivity to customer-facing digital experiences, data, infrastructure and operational technology, you'll ensure every piece of the technology puzzle comes together perfectly.

Part strategist, part innovator, part problem solver, you'll help create a technology ecosystem that is secure, resilient, commercially effective and ready to deliver extraordinary experiences for artists, audiences, partners and colleagues alike.

If you're excited by the idea of building, launching and evolving world-class technology in a world-class entertainment venue, we'd love to hear from you.
