NBC News NOW is launching a new live two-hour show airing 10a–noon, and we’re building a team of dynamic, collaborative journalists who want to help shape it from day one.

We’re looking for a Production Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced control room, loves working with video and graphics, and understands the urgency of live news. This is a hands-on role at the center of a growing streaming platform — ideal for someone eager to sharpen their editorial instincts and grow inside a high-performing newsroom.

If you’re organized, curious, and energized by breaking news, this is your opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a show that will set the tone for late mornings on NBC News NOW.

This position is represented by the NewsGuild-CWA.

What You’ll Do:

• Work closely with Producers and Associate Producers to edit video and build graphic elements for a live daily broadcast under tight deadlines
• Build, order, and manage graphics to visually elevate segments
• Assist with research and fact-checking to ensure scripts and elements meet NBC News standards
• Monitor wires, social feeds, and developing stories to flag updates for the team
• Keep a constant eye on the rundown to ensure video, graphics, and scripts are accurate and up to date
• Pitch timely and relevant ideas for day-of and future coverage
• Support the team in the control room during live broadcasts and adjust quickly as breaking news unfolds
