The Media Tech Internship Program gives students experience across NBCUniversal’s Operations & Technology organization, where they apply technical skills to real-world projects and learn about the teams and technologies that support the business.

Placements may include Content Research & Measurement, which oversees viewership data products for linear and digital audiences and delivers insights to stakeholders across sports, media, and entertainment, and Corp Tech – Data & Analytics. In the latter placement, interns may contribute to the Finance Data First strategy by helping establish the SAP data foundation for enterprise AI initiatives and participating in AI and data engineering efforts to advance deterministic AI capabilities for Finance.

The program runs June 7 through August 13, 2027, and requires 40 hours per week. Opportunities require working from Universal City, California; the exact schedule is determined by business needs.
