  • Job Requirements: Must be local to location (or willing to work as a local).

Description:
Looking for someone with energy and personality to select contestants for a dynamic and beloved game show. Duties include heavy in-person interviewing, building a contestant line-up for each episode based on quick interactions with all in attendance, and maintaining energy and communication with both the audience & crew throughout the episode.

This person not only interviews everyone person who attends a taping, they’re responsible for setting a tone of excitement, hospitality, and fun. You need to be able to talk to anyone, get a sense of someone’s personality quickly, and be able to recall details and feelings. You will be most successful if you are able to turn on your high energy and maintain it, if you can have fun with people from all walks of life, and if you can share your enthusiasm in a genuine and inviting way. You also will need to be decisive, flexible, and articulate, especially when pitching the lineup and communicating needs to the casting team. This position needs to be able to absorb a lot of energy and responsibility and channel it out in a productive and effective way. Quick decisions, trusting your gut, and making changes on the fly are daily requirements. We tape 2-3 episodes in a day, so energy and stamina are also essential.

Outside of day-to-day production duties, pre-production work looks like watching and grading video submissions, combing through the contestant database for individuals/teams for special episodes, building & pitching line-ups for those specials ahead of time, and maintaining contact with the casting company to evaluate and cover all audience needs.

Desired Qualifications:
-understanding and previous experience with live-to-tape television production
-experience casting from an audience/group, plus if experience with game shows
-comfortable with lots of people, especially conducting interviews and leading a crowd
-informed knowledge of how to build a diverse and unique group of contestants
-demonstrated skill in communicating with a team, across multiple areas of production
-ability to manage time and team to stay on schedule and hit deadlines
-curiosity and willingness to develop this dynamic position as production needs change
-positive attitude, organized thinker, clear communicator
-decisive- able to make decisions quickly and confidently
-outgoing; a people person
-someone who can generate their own energy and set the tone for an entire group
-flexible; someone who can pivot in the moment and reassess needs on the fly
-competent in Google Drive
-other duties as assigned

About this Role:
This is a full-time role, working on both tape days and non-tape days/weeks throughout the season, which is about 9 months long. On days when we’re not taping and on stage, this role will be responsible for watching & evaluating contestant videos, working ahead on specials, and collaborating with the rest of the production team for ongoing projects.
