Your Background

You might currently be working as a Studio Coordinator, Resource Coordinator, Creative Traffic Manager, Studio Traffic Manager or in a similar creative operations role.

Experience within retail design, POS, brand experience, exhibitions, experiential marketing or creative production would be particularly relevant. However, we're equally interested in candidates from integrated creative agencies or production-focused studios who understand how design projects move from initial brief through creative development, artwork and production. You don't need to be a Designer yourself, but you should understand the creative process and the skills required to deliver different types of work.

Why consider this opportunity?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of an important function within an established creative business, working alongside experienced creative professionals on a varied portfolio of projects. You'll have the chance to make a tangible impact on how the studio operates, helping improve communication, resource planning and the overall flow of work. As the business continues to develop its creative offering, you'll also have the opportunity to contribute to the evolution of its studio processes and ways of working.

It's an ideal role for someone who enjoys bringing people, projects and processes together, and takes real satisfaction from helping a creative team perform at its best.
