OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY
FOX Entertainment
With a legacy spanning more than 35 years, FOX Entertainment is one of the world's most recognizable media brands and a prolific content producer across its iconic broadcast network and both owned and third-party streaming platforms. Known for its independent, innovative spirit and provocative, groundbreaking storytelling, the company was reinvented in 2019 with the formation of FOX Entertainment. While maintaining its leadership in broadcast television (9-1-1: Lone Star, The Simpsons, The Cleaning Lady, Hell's Kitchen, LEGO Masters), the company is actively building a portfolio of businesses and library of owned original content. To date, FOX Entertainment's long-term growth strategy has included the acquisitions of award-winning animation studio Bento Box Entertainment (Bob's Burgers, The Great North, Krapopolis, Grimsburg), entertainment platform TMZ, and global production studio MarVista Entertainment (The Way Home, Rescuing Christmas), as well as the formation of the culinary and lifestyle content venture Studio Ramsay Global (Next Level Chef, Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars) in partnership with Gordon Ramsay. The company also established its in-house unscripted studio FOX Alternative Entertainment (The Masked Singer, Snake Oil, I Can See Your Voice, Name That Tune), FOX Entertainment Studios (Animal Control) to develop scripted content, and worldwide content sales unit FOX Entertainment Global.
JOB DESCRIPTION
FoxNXT is FOX Entertainment's next-generation tech innovation studio, designed to accelerate how we create, produce, and scale premium storytelling across every business unit. Built around four integrated pillars: R&D, Production, Talent, and Education.
FoxNXT prototypes cutting-edge AI workflows, tests them in real productions, trains our creative workforce, and attracts world-class AI-native talent. Operating at the intersection of advanced Gen-AI technology and Fox's proven storytelling infrastructure, FoxNXT develops and deploys new AI pipelines across scripted, unscripted, animation, and marketing, enabling dramatically faster turnarounds, heightened creative velocity, and breakthrough audience experiences.
Everything we build is grounded in responsibility: to the creative community, to the environment, and to the longstanding values of the studio system. FoxNXT keeps the human at the center, using AI as a creative co-pilot that empowers our creative partners rather than replacing them, ensuring that innovation enhances craft, expands opportunity, and supports sustainable production practices as we shape the future of entertainment.
The Vice President, AI Production Support will lead the design, deployment, and ongoing integration of AI-enhanced workflows across FOX Entertainment productions. This executive will oversee how FOX Entertainment's creative R&D, tools, and talent are translated into reliable production-ready solutions.
