CREATIVE STUDIO & PRODUCTION MANAGER – HIGH-GROWTH CONSUMER BRAND


If you're someone who genuinely enjoys bringing structure to creative teams, thrives on keeping multiple moving parts aligned and gets real satisfaction from making things happen behind the scenes, this could be a fantastic opportunity.


We're partnering with an ambitious, high-growth consumer brand that's investing heavily in its in-house creative function. As Creative Studio & Production Manager, you'll become the operational heartbeat of the team, ensuring projects move seamlessly from brief through to delivery while also taking ownership of creative production across regular photo and video shoots. This is a hands-on operational role for someone who loves workflow, project delivery and production logistics over creative direction or strategy.


What they need -

  • Someone who has successfully managed the day-to-day operations of a busy in-house creative or content team, balancing multiple projects, priorities and stakeholders while ensuring designers, copywriters and content creators can focus on producing exceptional work rather than chasing updates or navigating operational blockers
  • An studio lead with proven experience owning creative production from end-to-end, including planning and coordinating photo and video shoots, managing schedules, locations, suppliers, talent, logistics and on-the-day delivery, whilst remaining calm, organised and solutions-focused when plans inevitably change
  • Someone who can confidently facilitate creative delivery rather than direct creative output, interrogating briefs, identifying gaps, protecting realistic timelines and ensuring work is properly scoped without feeling the need to influence creative decisions or become another voice in the review process
  • A highly organised operator who naturally builds trust across multidisciplinary teams, confidently running planning meetings, managing project pipelines, coordinating resources and communicating clearly with stakeholders, whilst having the confidence to challenge unrealistic deadlines and keep delivery on track
  • Someone who understands how modern in-house creative teams operate, with a solid appreciation of marketing deliverables such as CRM, organic and paid social content, digital campaigns and creative asset production, allowing them to ask the right questions, anticipate dependencies and keep conversations productive


What you're great at -

  • Managing creative workflows, project delivery and studio operations within a fast-paced in-house environment, using workflow management tools to maintain visibility across multiple concurrent projects
  • Strong project management and production expertise, with experience coordinating cross-functional stakeholders, managing competing priorities, facilitating planning meetings, tracking budgets, monitoring timelines and ensuring projects are delivered efficiently without unnecessary process overhead
  • Hands-on production management across photography and video content, including scheduling, supplier coordination, call sheets, production logistics, shoot support and post-production handovers, with the flexibility to manage both lighter BAU shoots and larger seasonal campaigns
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the confidence to facilitate discussions, challenge unclear briefs, protect creative capacity and keep projects moving, without needing formal line management responsibility
  • A naturally curious mindset that embraces continuous improvement and modern ways of working, including using AI tools to improve personal productivity and operational efficiency, whilst always remaining focused on practical delivery rather than large-scale transformation programmes


What you’ll get

  • Hybrid working from a central London office (3 days per week - up to 4 days during peak trade)
  • Private medical
  • Season ticket loan
  • Potential for LTIs
  • Pension
