At our core, Flighthouse is built by people who understand the internet: how it moves, what resonates, and how to turn ideas into moments that audiences actually care about.

As a Production Assistant at Flighthouse, you'll provide hands-on and administrative support across our Production department. Reporting to the Supervising Producer, you'll work closely with both the Supervising Producer and Production Coordinator to help with the everyday tasks that keep projects organized and moving forward, from pre-production through shoots, post-production, and delivery.

You'll assist with research, scheduling, logistics, documentation, and on-set needs, helping the team stay prepared and responsive as priorities shift. This is an entry-level role for someone who is organized, dependable, eager to learn, and excited to build a career in social-first entertainment and content production.
