What will I be doing?

The Operations & Production intern role is designed to support the Operations & Productions teams in all day-to-day requirements, supporting the entire Universal Pictures Content Group (UPCG) team operationally. UPCG is a dynamic and pivotal team within the Filmed Entertainment Group; we work on a range of content unique to the NBCU business and separate (but often complementary) to the Studio titles, across genres including documentaries, stand-up comedy, music, sports, family entertainment, events & special interest.

You will be completing tasks such as:

• Setting up crucial screenings on our online viewing platforms, for both internal and external contacts
• Raising POs and invoices
• Researching assets for older/catalogue titles
• Helping to take delivery of our content into the business
• Organising delivery of content to film festivals

• Generally leveraging efficiency throughout the team

What will I learn from this opportunity?

The Operations & Production intern role is a fantastic opportunity for anyone either studying or with a keen interest in learning about the media industry ‘behind the scenes’. You will be in a unique position to work with ALL internal teams within the Content Group, including Marketing, PR, Content Strategy & Finance, as well as communicating with external contacts, which can be anyone from artists, talent and agents to licensors, producers and vendors.

You will become a super user of our online secure screening systems and be the go-to person for these requests throughout the placement. You will become familiar with some financial processes such as raising POs, setting up new vendors & customers and raising invoice requests. Most importantly, you will learn how the media industry works operationally; how we bring content into the business, why and how we carry out quality checks (QCs), how we strive to protect our content, always, and the steps we need to go through to release our content internationally, in a variety of languages. You will become familiar with all the processes and systems we use internally to get a title from delivery to release across multiple platforms and in multiple territories. 

If the opportunity arises, there could also be a supporting admin & coordinator role to play on any productions we film in-house, giving you a great insight into the filming/production process. Please note that these opportunities may require evening and weekend work when necessary.
