Role Description 

Are you a creative team player who loves producing meaningful projects, events or content that bring enjoyment to others? Are you excited to work on all things production, hoping that every day brings a new experience?  As a Co-op in the RJR Forum and on the Town Hall Team, you’ll get just that!  From celebrity fireside chats, to live performances, cultural celebrations to corporate presentations, every day is a different event with different challenges.  In this role, you will be able to participate in every step of the production journey, from planning to execution.
