  • Must love pop culture & celebrity news.   If you struggle to put a celebrity face with a name this job isn’t for you 
  • Must have a clear focus on ensuring ET is putting out the best content possible (example: Is the audio I’m transcribing sound muffled in such a way I should flag this for a supervisor?) 
  • Experience is not necessary, but education and/or an internship in TV or in the entertainment industry is preferred. 

 

 

This is a full-time job based in LA.  This role is expected to work from ET studios from 1 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.    WFH is an option on Sundays & Fridays.    Working on an award show day (example:  The Oscars) or big pop culture event day will be expected.
