This is a unique opportunity to design and integrate audio solutions at the heart of one of the world’s most ambitious immersive environments, ensuring every auditory experience aligns with a visionary guest journey.

You’ll shape the strategic direction for immersive audio, working at the intersection of engineering, innovation, and experience design — from initial concept through to installation and operational support.

What You’ll Be Doing…

  • Leading the end-to-end development of immersive audio and acoustic systems for a ground-breaking venue

  • Managing complex projects through all phases — from procurement and manufacturing to installation and commissioning

  • Collaborating with architects, engineers, contractors, and procurement teams to ensure alignment with broader development goals

  • Establishing and enforcing audio technology standards, quality assurance protocols, and performance benchmarks

  • Monitoring industry trends and emerging technologies to maintain a future-focused roadmap

  • Partnering with third-party suppliers and internal stakeholders to drive seamless delivery

  • Acting as the subject matter expert for audio systems and their integration across the entire development lifecycle

  • Defining scalable and reliable audio frameworks that contribute to an immersive, best-in-class guest experience

What They Want To See…

  • A Bachelor’s degree in engineering, science, audio, acoustics, or a related field (business/management qualifications are a plus)

  • 10+ years of experience in immersive audio technology development within large-scale environments such as stadiums, theme parks, or live entertainment venues

  • Proven track record delivering immersive tech solutions from concept to operational deployment

  • Strong strategic vision and ability to align audio systems with broader guest experience goals

  • Hands-on project management skills across technical, operational, and financial areas

  • Demonstrated success working with third-party suppliers and cross-functional teams

  • Deep knowledge of immersive technologies and their application within venue-based environments

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to translate complex concepts clearly
