Welcome to Warner Bros. Discovery... the stuff dreams are made of.
Who We Are...
When we say, "the stuff dreams are made of," we're not just referring to the world of wizards, dragons and superheroes, or even to the wonders of Planet Earth.

From brilliant creatives, to technology trailblazers, across the globe, WBD offers career defining opportunities, thoughtfully curated benefits, and the tools to explore and grow into your best selves. Here you are supported, here you are celebrated, here you can thrive.
Jr. Production Assistant Program in Atlanta
As a Jr. Production Assistant, you will gain hands-on experience in various aspects of the Production & Technical Operations group and work across WBD brands. This is a unique, unparalleled chance to see how this group collaborates in a 360-degree view.
You will be assigned to a home base team where you spend the majority of your time, but you'll also have opportunities for hands-on learning in many different Production & Technical Operations departments - seeing how we create world-class content and contribute to it yourself. This is a unique opportunity for job shadowing and training so you can develop your skills in a real-world, live broadcast setting.
Our team plays a critical role in shaping the future of media and sports. We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic candidate to join us in this exciting journey. The Production & Technical Operations team's goals are to provide high-quality service to all our stakeholders, deliver cutting-edge studio solutions, and be a talent destination with an equitable culture. We also like to have a bit of fun, and we want you to be a part of it.
This is a 12 month program starting in July 2026. Candidates must be located in the Atlanta area. Full time hours are based on sports studio productions and sports broadcast schedules which means they could include weekend, nights, holidays, and possible overtime.
Each Jr. Production Assistant will have a Home Base Team they are assigned to. The Home Base Team for this position is Remote Operations.
With this Remote Operations team, you will:
  • Assist with the planning and execution of WBD Sports productions under the direction of the Technical Operations Managers
  • Collaborate with Production Management and Remote Operations teams
  • Ensure efficient and successful logistic planning for all required facilities, rental equipment and WBD owned assets
  • Help manage inventory of WBD-owned gear at various locations
  • Physically help organize/palletize any gear needing to ship out while in the office or out remotely
  • Create and track work orders in MediaPulse software
  • Must be a team player who is highly organized, a strong communicator, efficient, and able to multi-task

You will learn the following Production & Technical Operations functions:
Studio Production
  • You will learn how the live, on-set team works together, including camera operations, teleprompter, video, studio lighting, scenic design & fabrication, and floor direction
  • These essential positions work together like a well-oiled machine to deliver the live broadcast experience to our viewers

Technical Operations: You will see the latest technology up close, shadowing the team that handles:
  • Live playout (don't worry, you'll learn what that means!)
  • VR/XR (yep, just like video games)
  • Remote operations (these are the people who take our productions on the road)
  • Graphics
  • Technical direction
  • Audio
  • Technical management

Production Operations: You will study with the best - those who are the glue that binds our group together - in:
  • Crewing (the folks who manage and schedule our talented team)
  • Production management (it's all in the details)
  • Business operations (financials, reporting and payroll)
  • Tech training (we're always learning something new and developing our talent)

Your Role Accountabilities
  • Optimize this opportunity by being a great student: someone who is curious and willing to learn, observes thoughtfully and isn't afraid to ask questions
  • Work closely with our staff instructors to ensure your learning stays on course
  • Support the Production & Technical Operations teams in day-to-day administrative and production tasks as needed
  • Stay current with all suggested courses to elevate your learning process
  • Commit to this 12-month program with opportunities to apply for a full-time position

Qualifications & Experience
This opportunity is a good fit for candidates who want to pursue a career in live production but need to learn more.
  • Ages 18+
  • High school diploma/GED preferred
  • Based in Atlanta area
  • Able to work full time hours which may include weekend, nights, holidays, and possible overtime, due to sports broadcast schedules
  • 1-3 years work experience (includes internships and volunteering)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Tech savvy; strong with computers and Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel) with the ability to learn other technology platforms
  • Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively on a team and in a live, fast-paced environment - you're not intimidated by things moving quickly and thinking on your feet
  • Creative thinking and problem-solving skills
  • Passion for media, entertainment, sports, and television production

Candidates who do not feel they have all the qualifications or are not confident should still apply. We want to hear from you if you are passionate, looking for someone to give you a chance, and committed to working toward your professional future.
How We Get Things Done...
This last bit is probably the most important! Here at WBD, our guiding principles are the core values by which we operate and are central to how we get things done. You can find them at www.wbd.com/guiding-principles/ along with some insights from the team on what they mean and how they show up in their day to day. We hope they resonate with you and look forward to discussing them during your interview.
