Careers

latakoo empowers video journalists and content creators who work for some of the world’s largest media companies to deliver video from wherever in the world they record it to television stations, production houses and broadcast hubs for distribution to millions.  The latakoo team understands the unparalleled power of visual storytelling, the unforgiving crucible of deadlines, and the transfer hurdles generated by a slot machine combo of video formats, hardware devices and Internet environments. We invent video collaboration, transfer, and workflow technology that is so reliable and easy-to-use that video producers spend more time creating stories and less time worrying about technology.

We are also now producing compelling programs that examine what goes into the creation of great video.

We are looking for a show producer/videographer/communicator phenom/latakoo trainer. (Yep, that’s one position. We’re looking for a multifaceted person.) You’ll be responsible for producing latakoo shows from end-to-end. That means identifying compelling topics, finding, and scheduling guests, creating show rundowns, and technically producing the show on the day of the actual event. We’re currently producing programs about once every two weeks.

Now, here’s the fun part. We are a video workflow company. That means our shows cannot look like everybody else’s online webinar. They’ve got to be stellar, featuring great video and audio. It’s television for the web. Audio for audiophiles. The cool part of this opportunity is that you’ll get access to bleeding edge software and hardware technologies invented by the latakoo team and its key partners.

You will not only produce shows, but your talents, ingenuity and hustle will literally help us build future technology for video creation, programming, and distribution. You will be an influencer for the industry. The latakoo team always take moonshots and others have noticed. The International Trade Association for Broadcast & Media Technology vendors honored latakoo as its broadcaster/media company of the year in 2020. TVNewsCheck named latakoo President Jade Kurian a Futurist because she leads us as we peer into the future, collectively make predictions and build what’s coming next.
