What you'll do
 

Video Production is a hard industry to break into – we know, we’ve been there! But if you’re in school and you’re working towards a creative career in Video, this is a great opportunity to join the Viasat Internship Program. You’ll get some hands-on experience, explore different avenues that might interest you, and work with some cool people from a variety of backgrounds along the way.

This position is with the Viasat Marketing Video Team in Carlsbad, CA. We're a close-knit team of Video Production professionals who love what we do. We're passionate about creating high-quality video content that lives up to the cool stuff happening at the company. We're not just colleagues, we're a team, and we're looking for someone who wants to jump in and be a part of the action.

Don't worry if you're not an expert in everything – we're here to help you grow! All you need is a passion for video and a desire to dive in and learn.

Forget the busywork. You'll be collaborating directly with our Producers, Video Editors, Camera Operators, and 3D Animators as a regular team member, contributing to projects going out in the wild from Day One.
