Art Director, CBS Sports

Paramount is hiring an Art Director for CBS Sports, based in New York, NY. This role sits inside the on-air graphics department, where the work spans live broadcast sports production, remote event coverage, and studio programming across CBS Network, cable sports channels, and digital platforms. It suits a senior creative with a background in broadcast graphics who is comfortable owning output across a high-volume, live sports production environment.

About the Role

The CBS Sports graphics department supports both live event broadcasts and studio shows, which means the Art Director is regularly moving between show package design, real-time production support, and brand-level creative direction. Day to day, this person is guiding junior artists, reviewing animation output, and keeping the visual language consistent across broadcast and digital properties including CBS Sports HQ. The role also carries responsibility for set design oversight across cable and broadcast shows.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee daily creative output from the graphics department across live sports broadcast and studio programming.
• Develop on-air graphic concepts for a range of sports productions, from remote event coverage to studio shows.
• Direct, mentor, and give structured feedback to junior artists and animators within the department.
• Manage relationships with third-party design houses, communicating design briefs and reviewing deliverables against broadcast standards.
• Consult on the visual direction of CBS Sports digital properties to maintain a unified brand across linear and online platforms.
• Work with outside agencies and freelancers to build out show packages and integrate graphics into complex live production workflows.

What You Bring

• Four to five or more years of professional experience in broadcast graphics, sports production, or a media and entertainment agency environment.
• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite across design and compositing workflows.
• 3D design skills covering modeling, lighting, and animation for broadcast and live sports production use.
• A clear track record working across on-air graphics for live sports broadcast, not just post-production or editorial contexts.
• Strong communication skills when presenting creative concepts to internal teams, department heads, and external production partners.

Why This Role

The department works across broadcast, cable, and digital, so the creative variety here is broader than a single-platform graphics role.
