high-efficiency eCommerce video studio. This role blends technical, editorial, and
operational responsibilities — from basic equipment maintenance to light editing, supporting
live recording sessions, and occasional vision mixing.
You’ll be a key part of ensuring that studio output remains consistent, professional, and
on-schedule. You’ll work closely with the Studio Manager, Vision Mixer-Directors, and Floor

• Provide first-line troubleshooting during studio operations
• Set up and calibrate kit at the start of day (with floor team)
• Perform light editing and file prep for upload or review
• Archive footage correctly — managing SKUs, file naming, and folder structures
• Support content team with exports, encodes, and script uploads
• Assist with scheduling and task planning in collaboration with Studio Manager
• Cover vision mixing / directing duties when required
• Liaise with off-site teams on cloud upload processes and file syncs
• Help evolve studio workflows with a focus on efficiency and automation
Essential Skills & Experience
• Strong working knowledge of video production tools: switchers, recorders, audio interfaces, and NLEs (such as Premiere or Resolve)
• Comfortable in a multi-camera studio environment
• Excellent file management and general tech literacy
• Strong problem-solving instincts and a calm head under pressure
• Experience working in a fast-paced or high-volume shoot environment
• Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset
Bonus Points For
• Experience with streamlining studio workflows using automation or scripting
• Previous work in live vision mixing or remote broadcast environments
• Familiarity with eCommerce content or high-volume product video
• Confidence working with both Mac and PC systems
Why This Role Matters
The MSO is the glue between production and post — part engineer, part editor, part
production assistant. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to grow within a
technical creative environment while helping shape one of the most efficient eCommerce
studios in the UK. (edited)
