Job Overview
The Creative Studio Traffic Manager is the day-to-day engine that keeps creative work moving through the studio with clarity, pace and discipline.
Working closely with the Creative Studio Manager, this role focuses on the live flow of work: taking briefs into the studio, shaping schedules, assigning tasks, tracking progress, resolving bottlenecks and making sure deadlines, expectations and handovers are clear.
Where the Creative Studio Manager owns the broader operating model, capacity planning and studio performance, the Creative Studio Traffic Manager brings that model to life every day by coordinating the movement of projects, people and information across creative, client services, production and delivery teams.
You’ll be highly organised, proactive and calm under pressure, able to see the detail without losing sight of the bigger picture. You’ll enjoy being the person who knows what is happening, what is coming next and what needs to be unblocked to keep great creative work on track.
