About the Role

The Creative Services Sports Unit is an Emmy Award-winning department responsible for end-to-end promotional production across the full TNT Sports media portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and maintain the footage library across all TNT Sports properties, including clipping, logging, and organizing video assets for broadcast and digital use.
• Partner directly with CSSU producers to research and identify the most relevant footage to support specific promotional campaigns and features.
• Track down and secure media assets in compliance with legal and rights clearance guidelines as they apply to sports broadcast production.
• Pitch promotional campaign concepts and develop copy writing skills tailored to broadcast promos and on-air marketing.
• Build hands-on experience across the post-production workflow, including scripting, editing, sound design, and visual effects fundamentals.
• Support all phases of creative production from pre-production planning through final delivery across linear and digital platforms.

What You Bring

• Working knowledge of Adobe Premiere is required for this Production Assistant role.
• A background in Communications, Journalism, or TV/Film at the BA level is recommended.
• Genuine familiarity with sports, their formats, and their key moments is a meaningful advantage in this environment.
• Ability to work deadline-driven hours tied to live sports events, including nights and weekends.
• Must be based in Atlanta or prepared to relocate prior to starting.

Discovery’s CSSU team works across one of the broadest sports rights portfolios in broadcast television, covering everything from the NHL to Roland Garros to boxing, which means the volume and variety of production experience here is genuinely unusual for an entry-level position.
