Duties include story research and development, production planning, project coordination, asset management, assistant editing, and support of final content and asset delivery for broadcast and digital platforms. The position will assist producers throughout the production process, helping to coordinate logistics, manage production materials, track deliverables, and ensure projects remain organized and on schedule. The position is expected to contribute tangible results and embrace learning opportunities across field and studio-based production teams, facilities, and content.
