What’s in it for you?

This is an opportunity to sit at the heart of our creative operations and make a visible impact on how our studios work, scale and deliver.

• Drive adoption of scalable technology, automation and AI, identifying opportunities to make creative operations smarter and more efficient.
• Own studio performance data, reporting and dashboards, creating clear visibility of output, productivity, cost and resource utilisation.
• Turn operational data into decision-ready insights that support Value Creation Plans (VCPs), optimisation and financial reporting.
• Own key commercial controls across freelance contracts, rate cards, POs and invoicing, maintaining spend visibility and strong governance.
• Ensure appropriate studio, equipment and professional insurance standards are maintained.
• Act as the escalation point for operational, commercial, technology and data risks.
• Play an active role in the Creative Leadership Team, bringing an operations, technology and data perspective to key decisions.

Requirements

• Strong experience in operations, studio operations, creative operations, production operations or a similar fast-paced environment — experience from FMCG or another high-volume consumer business is highly relevant.
• A hands-on mindset with the ability to move between strategic thinking and getting things done.
• Experience improving workflows, processes and ways of working across multiple teams or stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of technology-enabled operations, with experience using workflow/project management and digital asset management tools.
• Curiosity and confidence around automation, AI and emerging technologies and how they can improve operational performance.
• Commercial mindset with experience managing budgets, external resources, suppliers, contracts or related controls.
• Comfortable working with data, KPIs, reporting and dashboards to support business decisions.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and confidence working with senior and cross-functional teams.
• Able to thrive in an international, entrepreneurial and rapidly evolving organisation.

Benefits
