About the role
As a Studio Operations Manager, you’ll sit at the heart of the studio — bringing structure, energy and clarity to how everything runs. You’ll oversee day-to-day operations, with a deep understanding of the studio’s technical set-up, ensuring equipment and spaces are used to their full creative and commercial potential.
You’ll also play a key role in shaping how the studio evolves — from refining processes and optimising workflows, to influencing decisions around space, equipment and overall set-up. Working closely with internal and external partners, including architects and suppliers, you’ll help create an environment that works seamlessly for artists and teams alike.

Who you are:
- Excellent organizational skills and the ability to coordinate multiple processes and projects simultaneously,
- Flexibility and willingness to work non-standard hours (tailored to the schedule of sessions and artists),
- Attention to detail, a sense of aesthetics regarding the space and a high standard of customer service
- Ability to manage budgets, costs, and maintain documentation,
- Basic technical knowledge or willingness to collaborate with technical and service teams,
- Ability to coordinate the work of subcontractors and suppliers,
- Knowledge of English (minimum B1 level) sufficient for fluent communication
