🤯 I'm loving this! The job ad is so tidy and easy to scan 📊👍 They're not just listing requirements, they're actually breaking them down into sections that make sense 🙌 like "Technical Experience" and "Leadership Skills". It's like a beautifully formatted resume template 🖼️. I wish more companies would take the time to present their job openings in a clear and concise way. 👀
 
I feel like this job is super competitive 🤯! 15 years of experience in media tech? That's a big ask 😬. I'm sure it'll be tough to find someone who checks all those boxes 💼. But at the same time, Disney's got that whole "champions diversity and inclusion" vibe going on, so fingers crossed for whoever gets it 🤞!
 
I'm surprised they're still using Dalet from 2010 🙄. I mean, who needs to upgrade when it's working right? And what's with the requirement for a Bachelor's degree in a related field? Like, what if someone has real experience but didn't bother with college? It sounds like a lot of red tape to me 💼. Still, I guess 15 years of experience is a good start 🤔. Who wouldn't want to work for Disney, right? It's not like they're trying to steal the minds of the youth or anything 😉.
 
🤔 This is super suspicious, if you ask me. I mean, think about it - they're looking for someone to run their 24/7 news station, which means there are going to be so many ways to manipulate the narrative... and who's really in control of that? 📰 The fact that they want someone with experience in Dalet, Overdrive, Cisco, and Imagine is just a cover - I'm sure they're looking for people with expertise in controlling the flow of information. And what about all these certifications and degrees required? Sounds like a way to weed out anyone who's actually knowledgeable about technology... 👀
 
Ugh, 24/7 news stations? Reminds me of those crazy days back in 2008 when I used to watch CNN Live and try to stay awake during coverage of presidential debates 🤯. Anyway, I feel bad for these candidates who gotta deal with systems crashing and whatnot. It's like trying to keep the Macarena song playing on repeat – you know it's gonna stop eventually 💻. And I bet this VP job is way less cool than being a Disney Imagineer back in the 90s when they were actually creating magic 🎢
 
omg, 15 years of experience in media tech is like, super basic these days lol. i mean, with AI and machine learning advancing at such a rapid pace, i think the ideal candidate should have more than that under their belt 💻. plus, having a degree in comp sci or something would be way more relevant than just having a related field. and can we talk about diversity and inclusion being touted as a value when the application process is literally hiding it behind a generic equal opportunity policy 🤷‍♀️. i mean, don't get me wrong, it's still good that they're trying to be inclusive, but let's not sugarcoat it 💯.
 
I'm so down with this idea 🤪. Like, who wouldn't want to spend their days managing tech teams and making sure news stations don't go down? It sounds like a total snooze fest 😴. And can we talk about how exciting it is to work on 24/7 operations when most people are trying to get some actual sleep? 🤷‍♀️ I mean, who needs work-life balance when you're stuck in the middle of nowhere, glued to your screens? 💻

And let's be real, who cares if they don't have experience with Dalet or Overdrive? It's not like it's rocket science... right? 😂 The fact that Disney is looking for someone "seasoned" just means they're trying to fill the void left by people who actually know what they're doing. Like, who are these young whippersnappers that think they can handle the pressure of keeping news stations running? 🤔
 
I'm not sure if it's just me but I think 15 years of experience is a pretty steep ask. Can't we get someone with some younger talent and still meet those requirements? It feels like Disney's trying to find someone who's already at the top of their game, which might limit new ideas and innovation 🤔💻
 
I gotta say, 15 years of experience is pretty steep for someone to be considered VP of Tech 🤯. I mean, what if they've been stuck in a dead-end job or just haven't had that many opportunities? It's like Disney is looking for the perfect candidate from the get-go, rather than giving someone with potential a shot 💼. And let's not forget about all those requirements - it sounds like they're more interested in finding someone with all the right credentials than actually finding someone who can deliver 📈.
 
just wondering if disney is like totally gonna revolutionize the way they do tech or it's just another role in their giant org 😂. seems like a pretty cool gig tho, especially with all the attention to diversity and inclusion 🌈💻 gotta love that! 👍
 
🤔 I'm thinking, who would be the best fit for this role? They gotta have a ton of experience in tech ops and project management, but also be able to lead a team and make decisions that drive business results 📈. I mean, it's not just about technical skills, they need to know how to communicate with teams and senior management too 👥. And with Disney's focus on diversity and inclusion, I'm hoping they'll get someone from a diverse background who can bring some fresh perspectives to the team 🌎. But at the same time, experience working with industry vendors and platforms like Dalet and Cisco is crucial 📊. Let's see what kind of candidates come forward! 🤞
 
I'm thinking about this job opening at Disney... it sounds like they need someone with serious tech cred 🤯 to run their systems 24/7 without any issues. I mean, can you imagine having to fix a news station's broadcast equipment during a live show? 😬 That'd be super stressful.

It seems like the ideal candidate would have tons of experience in media tech and operations, and also know how to lead teams effectively. They need to be good communicators too, so they can work with different departments and vendors 📲

I'm not sure what Dalet and Overdrive are, but if you're familiar with those platforms, that's a plus 😊. And it's awesome that Disney is all about diversity and inclusion – everyone should have an equal chance to apply for the job 💖
 
I'm not sure about all this tech stuff 🤔. I mean, do we really need some fancy VP of Tech at Disney? It just seems like more overhead to me. And what's with the requirements? 15 years of experience and a Master's degree in some field or another... that's just a lot to ask for. I'm no expert but isn't it enough to just know how to manage people and systems already? 🤷‍♂️

And have you seen the platforms they're talking about - Dalet, Overdrive, Cisco... it all sounds like some super expensive jargon to me 😒. Can't we just stick with what we know and work out the bugs as we go along? I'm not convinced that hiring someone with a fancy degree is the answer to our problems 💔.

Not that I'm saying Disney doesn't need someone with tech expertise, but maybe they should look for someone who's a bit more down-to-earth 🤓. Just my two cents! 😊
 
🤔 I gotta say, it's crazy how much tech goes into running a 24/7 news station! Like, who knew there were so many systems to keep running? The fact that they're looking for someone with at least 15 years of experience is pretty reassuring, though. They must know what they're doing.

I'm also glad Disney is emphasizing diversity and inclusion in their hiring process - it's about time more people from underrepresented groups get a chance to shine. And I love how they mention the ideal candidate should be able to lead diverse teams... it's not just about getting the job done, but also making sure everyone feels included.

But, let's be real, the fact that they're posting an ad for a VP of Technology is also kinda nerve-wracking 🤯 What if the right person doesn't come along? I mean, what if Disney's tech team gets hacked or something?! 😬
 
Ugh, 15 years of experience is kinda low if you ask me 🤔... I mean, can't they get someone with at least 20 years of experience in tech ops and project management? That way, they could lead a team like a pro and not have to babysit them all the time 😒. And what's up with Dalet, Overdrive, Cisco, and Imagine? Can't Disney just stick with one platform for once? I mean, I'm sure it's fine for the old folks who use those systems, but for someone who actually knows what they're doing in tech ops, that's like using a flip phone 📱... outdated.
 
OMG, like I'm totally curious about this role... 15 years of experience in media tech sounds like, whoa, so much! 🤯 I mean, can you even imagine having that kind of expertise? They need someone with super strong leadership skills and the ability to make key decisions that drive business results... but also be customer-focused and communicate well with teams? That's a lot of pressure! 💥 What do you think about Dalet and Overdrive? Have you ever worked with those platforms? 🤔 And, um, Disney's all about diversity and inclusion, which is awesome! But, I wonder if they've got any plans to improve accessibility for people with disabilities... would love to know more about that! 📺💻
 
I'm not sure why they need someone with 15 years of experience... can't they just train someone from within? 🤔 I mean, don't get me wrong, it sounds like a great opportunity, but I'd rather see some fresh blood in there. Maybe they're worried about the risk of losing existing knowledge and expertise? Anyway, I hope whoever gets the job is up to the challenge! 👍 They'll need to navigate those broadcast and IT systems... it's not for the faint of heart. And Dalet, Overdrive, Cisco, and Imagine - that's a mouthful! 😂
 
I mean, can you believe how far back media tech is? Like, 15 years of experience and all that jazz... it's crazy how much tech has evolved in just that time! 🤯 I remember when Dalet was like a new kid on the block, now it's old hat. And Overdrive? That's some serious nostalgia right there...

But for real though, it's awesome that Disney is looking to upgrade their tech game and create high-quality content for their streaming platforms. It's not just about getting the job done, but also making sure the systems are reliable and resilient, especially with a 24/7 news station. That's some heavy responsibility.

I'm also loving the diversity and inclusion vibes that Disney is throwing out there. It's all about creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued... even if you're not a seasoned tech leader, they want to help you grow into one! 💻
 
omg can u imagine leading tech at disney? 🤯 they're looking 4 someone w/ 15+ yrs exp in media tech & ops... that's like, totally a big deal! 😂 as vp of tech, they'll be responsible 4 ensuring all systems r reliable & resilient, especially since they do 24/7 news stations. 💻 the ideal candidate should have strong leadership skills, customer service skills, and be able to work w/ diverse teams... it's like, a dream come true! 😎 u gotta love how disney champions diversity & inclusion, tho 🌈
