Responsibilities
NBC will soon launch a new digital-first team of reporters, filmmakers, animators, tinkerers, engagement producers and video journalists tasked with rethinking what video news and features could and should look like in 2017.
This yet to be named studio will be an independent, off-site division of NBC News aimed at experimenting with emerging technologies and developing a sleek video news offering in new and rapidly growing spaces on mobiles and broader digital spaces.
Our aim is to push boundaries in video by toying with technology, thinking about data, employing smart design and challenging what an American broadcaster should look like in the 21st Century. And we’ll begin our journey by developing innovative video products in several areas, including news analysis, documentaries, live and VR — all while taking advantage of creative treatments as well as NBC’s internal mountain of archive.
What does a mash-up of young filmmakers, journalists, hackers and a US media goliath that helped develop television look like? That’s what we’re coming together to figure out.
Job Duties
We’re seeking a brilliant video storyteller and self-motivated motion graphics designer with a passion for digital art, visual news media and pushing the envelope. This person should be a free thinker who loves to experiment and reinvent in fast-paced environments while designing video products.

This person should be able to pivot from the day’s top headlines in order to produce fun, quirky, serious or investigative videos that are thought provoking and push boundaries in design and treatment.
We are building these products from the ground up, and you’ll be responsible for helping us design the look and aesthetics as we go.
