THE ROLE
This role supports the Creative Ops and Production Manager and creative department in keeping shoots, projects, and the day-to-day workflow of the creative team running smoothly.
You keep projects moving by updating trackers, chasing outstanding actions, and making sure everyone knows where things stand. You're the person on the ground for shoots: running, styling, sourcing, and solving problems in the moment. You'll also lend a hand to the social team, creating and editing content when extra capacity is needed.
This is a junior role with an opportunity to learn production, project management, and content creation inside a fast-moving, in-house creative team.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Project and process support
Manage the workflow for the studio and design teams, understanding incoming work, assigning to the correct team members and ensuring that the studio runs smoothly
Keep production schedules, briefing trackers and asset trackers updated and accurate day to day
Track and report on the status of live projects across the creative team, following up outstanding actions, flagging delays and finding smart solutions to keep things moving
Support the Creative Ops and Production Manager with administrative production tasks: call sheets, booking confirmations, shoot budgets and expense tracking
Help develop and maintain the Digital Asset Management system, making sure assets are filed correctly and easy for the team to find.
Be on hand for adhoc support for the team as needed, keeping the studio and creative department running day to day
Production support
Act as on-set runner across shoots: prepping kit, managing call sheets, coordinating talent and crew on the day, and handling shoot logistics alongside our Creative Ops and Production Manager
Source and manage props, product, wardrobe and styling requirements for shoots, making sure everything is on-brand and ready ahead of time
Support vendor and supplier management: sourcing quotes, booking freelancers and locations, and maintaining relationships with regular production partners
Help solve problems on set and flagging issues to the Creative Ops and Production Manager early to ensure the smooth running of play
WHO YOU ARE
To be successful in this role, you will need the following skills / knowledge / experience:
Some experience in production, creative project management gained in a brand, content, agency or creative environment is preferred but you can be at the start of your career
Comfortable on set: happy being hands-on, solving problems in the moment, and keeping things moving
Highly organised and proactive, with an eye for detail across trackers, schedules and status updates
Some familiarity with project management tools (Notion, Asana, or similar) is a plus
Enthusiastic about wellness, beauty, or consumer brands and a desire to work with brands that exist to make a positive difference in the world.
You're proactive and dependable, happy to get stuck in wherever the team needs support
You take pride in the details other people miss and keep things organised without being asked
You communicate clearly and chase things up without needing to be chased yourself
You're keen to learn: about production, about brand, and about how a small in-house creative team runs at pace
You stay calm under pressure and enjoy a fast-moving, varied day
