• Work from daily schedules and VM prep sheets to ensure correct styling and placement
• Liaise with Studio Manager and Vision Mixers to keep the day flowing
• Coordinate assistant(s) and ensure all props, accessories, and packaging are returned/stored
• Spot potential delays and escalate issues early to avoid knock-ons
• Maintain a safe, tidy and smooth-running studio floor
Requirements
• Background in live studio or multi-camera environments
• Strong sense of time management and efficiency
• Able to follow brand-led visual merchandising instructions with accuracy
• Calm under pressure; proactive problem-solver
• Previous experience as a Floor Manager, 1st AD, Stage Manager, or Production Assistant in fast-paced filming environments
