NBCU Corporate groups are uniquely positioned at the core of our organization.  Employees within these groups use their area of expertise to support all businesses across the company, keeping the heart of each brand at the forefront. There are also business-specific opportunities available, which may be included in the descriptions below.      

Operations & Technology is a $1B operating cash flow ($1.5B FCF) division of NBCUniversal. The group functions as a global shared service within NBCUniversal performing critical functions including Media, Broadcast and Studio Operations & Production, Content Supply Chain, Information Technology and Engineering, as well as Cyber Security. The group operates from numerous locations around the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Denver, Connecticut, and London.   

Areas of placement may include, but are not limited to: 

• Production, Creative Group: The Production group is part of NBCUniversal’s in-house Creative team. We develop brand and marketing materials across the company’s portfolio—everything from event collateral and signage to internal communications and broadcast assets. It’s a team where design, brand systems, and production work hand-in-hand to bring ideas to life. As a Production Intern, you’ll get hands-on experience with the real work of a creative production team. That means prepping files for print and digital, adapting existing assets, keeping things organized, and helping deliver press-ready materials. You’ll work alongside designers and production professionals learning what it takes to get things right, on time, and on-brand. While this isn’t a traditional design internship, it is a production-focused position within NBCUniversal’s Creative group and will offer you the possibility to see firsthand how design systems work at scale. You’ll build real skills in typography, file prep, preparing logo systems, and brand layouts along the way. You’ll also get a window into how design translates into tangible products—packaging, signage, large-format graphics, and other event materials. Additionally, you will develop knowledge around print methods, paper stocks, and color systems, and you’ll leave with a much clearer sense of how a creative idea becomes a finished product.
• Rockefeller Center Operations, Guest Experience (Marketing, Promotions & Merchandising): The Guest Experience Team oversees all Retail, Merchandising, Marketing and Social for the Shop and Tours, Tours, and Audience Operations. Our intern would be exposed to all areas of Merchandising and Marketing through projects promoting the Shop, product development, competitive shopping, Print marketing, Social campaigns, and photoshoots.
