Together, we co-create moments that matter for audiences and employees, and aim to leave a positive mark on culture. CBS Stations is looking for an AR/VR News Designer who focuses on making news stories clearer, sharper, and more engaging through AR/VR. This role builds visual tools that help explain what’s happening, whether it’s breaking news, developing coverage, or everyday segments. Real storytelling support, not spectacle or gimmicks.
Role Overview
The AR/VR News Designer works directly with producers and editorial teams to design and build real-time AR/VR elements that support news coverage. From breaking news to explainers, this role creates environments, graphics, and visual moments that help viewers understand the story. You’ll concept it, build it, and refine it, working in Unreal Engine, Cinema 4D, and Adobe tools to deliver clean, intentional visuals under tight deadlines. You’ll collaborate with creative, editorial, and technical teams to build AR/VR environments that make stories clearer, sharper, and more engaging on air. We are open to considering the office location for this position at any CBS O&O station.
Key Responsibilities
Build for the Story:
Design and execute AR/VR elements that support breaking news and daily coverage
Create explainers, timelines, maps, and visualizations that make complex stories easier to understand
Quickly translate editorial ideas into clear, real-time visuals
Build scenes that feel grounded, readable, and focused
Work at News Speed:
Respond to breaking news with fast-turn AR/VR solutions
Develop flexible templates and systems that can be reused across stories
Balance speed with quality, knowing what matters in the moment
Adapt visuals as stories evolve throughout the day
Collaborate with Editorial:
Work directly with producers to understand the story before designing the visual
Help shape how a story is told visually, not just execute requests
Stay aligned with newsroom priorities and deadlines
Execute in Real Time:
Build and refine AR/VR scenes in Unreal Engine and Cinema 4D
Design lighting, materials, motion, and camera moves that feel natural on air
Ensure all elements perform consistently in real-time broadcast environments
Optimize assets for speed, clarity, and consistency
Keep It Clean, Keep It Useful:
Avoid unnecessary complexity — every element should serve the story
Maintain a modern, editorial-first design approach
Contribute to a growing library of reusable AR/VR tools for news coverage
Help define what effective AR/VR storytelling looks like across stations
Qualifications & Skills
Strong background in motion design, 3D, or broadcast graphics
Experience with Unreal Engine (real-time design is core to the role)
Proficiency in Cinema 4D and Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator)
Strong sense of composition, structure, typography, and motion
Ability to simplify complex information into clear visuals
Comfortable working in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments
Strong communication skills, especially with editorial teams
What Sets You Apart
You think like a storyteller, not just a designer
You can take a messy, complex story and make it visually obvious
You progress fast without losing precision
You care about helping the viewer understand what’s happening
