What a Satellite Coordinator Team Leader does -

The Team Leader heads a team of six multilingual Satellite Coordinators. They deal with customers in NZ and around the world 24 hours a day, seven days a week on a shift basis. Their roles involve arranging for urgent news material to be delivered via our satellite network and assist with the worldwide distribution of coverage of major events.

Why I like being a Satellite Coordinator Team Leader -

"A lot of what we do depends on what happens in the world, with news agencies wanting to book urgent feeds at very little notice, which means there is a lot of variety in our daily jobs. We also take turns at looking after the onsite coordination of big events such as the Winter Olympics, Wimbledon, Soccer World Cup and the Australian Open." Inge Wisselink, Satellite Coordinator Team Leader.

What qualifications do I need to become a Satellite Coordinator Team Leader?

Language skills combined with experience in either TV production or operations is preferred. Having been in a customer service/coordination role involving time based use of resources, quick response time and follow up are important qualities to possess rather than a specific qualification.
