This part-time opportunity reports to SMT’s live game hub in our Jacksonville, FL office and is required to work any time there are NHL games, which includes nights, weekends and holidays.

What is Your Daily Impact at SMT?

As a Hockey Game Monitor, you will report to our hub an hour before puck drop to check in for your assigned games. Game shifts are typically 5-7 hours. You will collaborate with our league operations and technical staff to ensure hockey data is accurately presented and ready to take the ice. This includes reviewing and monitoring designated websites, league databases and live game feeds for the NHL.

Additional responsibilities include:

• Monitoring multiple live NHL game feeds and related statistics to ensure accurate representation of game scores and game information 
• Relaying and summarizing game activities to other SMT and hockey personnel

What Can SMT Offer You?

You will get to work in a highly collaborative and supportive environment, and as our sports services continue to expand, you may have the opportunity to support other sports outside of hockey and the NHL.
