Director of Live Video

Cincinnati, Ohio | Full Time

Access Audio is a faith-based, full-service production company based in Cincinnati, Ohio. We provide professional audio, lighting, video, and consulting for entertainment, corporate, nonprofit, and worship events.

We exist to serve our clients with excellence. That means best‑in‑class equipment, experienced and respectful team members, thoughtful preparation, and the creativity to make every event exceptional.

We care deeply about what we do and how we do it.

We are seeking a full‑time Director of Live Video to lead and grow our lighting department. This is not a “show up and switch” position, it’s a build‑and‑lead role.

Our Director of Live Video oversees both the display side (LED wall, projectors, monitors) and the production side (cameras, switchers, playback) of live video.

You will serve as the on‑site video team lead for live events while also developing the systems, internal strategy, and team structure that will allow the department to scale. You will be a key leader in our organization and will have a major voice in how Access Audio’s video services evolve.

For events where video is the primary discipline, the Director of Live Video may serve in a production management role. You will advance the event with the client, define scope, quote video‑only event packages, coordinate staffing and logistics, and lead execution from pre‑production through strike. You will quarterback video‑driven projects, ensuring crew structure, schedules, and pricing align with client goals while maintaining Access Audio’s high standards for quality, safety, and professionalism.

Access Audio is in a season of rapid growth. That means there is real opportunity here, but it also means we are still building structure as we grow. If you enjoy taking initiative, creating systems, and building something meaningful alongside a team, you’ll thrive in this role.

This position reports to the Director of Production.

This role requires someone who can lead with confidence, operate with excellence, and be excited to serve.

Humility is the number one personality trait we’re looking for. We want a leader who is creative, skilled, and driven, but also grounded, teachable, and committed to serving clients and teammates well.

We also need a true self‑starter. This is not a role where someone will hand you a checklist every day. You will be trusted to see what needs to happen and drive it forward.

• Advance video needs directly with clients, including run of show, staffing, arrival times, power requirements, and venue logistics. The ability to communicate with humans is a must.
• Translate creative vision into executable video plans. The ability to take existing video inventory and come up with fresh looks is key.
• We are not in the content business. But the ability to communicate clearly with the client about content needs,…
