We're looking for a confident, people-focused Studio Manager to take full ownership of the day-to-day running of our three creative film and photography studio spaces.

· Run the studio's social media accounts – planning, posting content, and engaging with our audience.
· Support and implement marketing activities, promotions, or mini-campaigns to increase visibility.
· Coordinate scheduling using studio calendars and systems.
· Track and maintain studio supplies, props, and backdrops.
· Manage admin tasks, including bookings, follow-ups, and collecting feedback.
What We're Looking For
· Friendly, approachable, and confident with excellent communication skills.
· Highly self-motivated and independent, with strong time management and organisation skills.
· A proactive problem-solver who takes initiative and enjoys working solo.
· Skills in photography, film, or creative content.
· Comfortable using social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) in a professional setting.
· confidence with emails, spreadsheets, and calendars.
· Willingness to learn about studio equipment, and lighting.
What We Offer
· 30 hours per week (paid at the Living Wage).
