UK broadcaster scaling streaming and production with cost optimization and platform consolidation
ITV operates a large-scale broadcast and streaming business serving UK households, now undergoing significant internal modernization. The tech stack spans classical broadcast infrastructure (Vantage, Signiant) alongside cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and newer streaming surfaces (YouTube, Meta, TikTok, X), indicating a hybrid legacy-to-cloud transition. Current hiring focus is weighted toward ops and engineering, with active projects centered on a multi-year cost-saving program, workplace technology consolidation, and centralizing service management into Freshservice (replacing ServiceNow)—signaling operational efficiency and tooling standardization as near-term priorities.
