The job in a nutshell

We’re looking for a hands-on Studio Manager to lead The Studio – our in-house content and creative team.

This role is responsible for delivering high-quality, digital-first content and campaigns across channels including email, social, and video, while running the studio day-to-day.

You’ll manage a small team of content creators, designers and a videographer/photographer, owning workflow, resourcing, and production. You’ll also work closely with marketing to bring campaigns to life – ensuring content is delivered efficiently, on brand, and fit for purpose across channels.

This is a practical, delivery-focused role with real ownership of output and operations and ideal for someone who enjoys balancing creative input with getting things done.

Who you will work with

Internal: Marketing, Buying and Events teams, plus Private Client Advisers

External: Freelancers (design, content, video, copy), Printers and marketing material suppliers (POS, packaging, event materials), Creative, content or production agencies where required

• Build and maintain a light roster of freelancers (design, content, production)
• Ensure external partners deliver against brief, budget, and timelines
• Partner closely with marketing leads to translate briefs into deliverable creative output
• Contribute to campaign planning and execution (not just delivery)
• Ensure consistency of brand across all channels and touchpoints

Budget management

• Manage a modest studio and production budget
• Track spend across shoots, freelancers, and production
• Ensure cost-effective delivery, maximising in-house capabilities

What we’re looking for

Experience

• Experience in a Studio Manager, Production Manager, or Creative Operations role
• Proven track record delivering content-led campaigns in-house or agency-side
• Experience managing small teams and external freelancers
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, content-driven environment
• Experience working in premium, luxury or lifestyle brands, or within the wine & spirits industry is advantageous

Skills

• Strong project management and workflow planning skills
• Confident managing multiple projects and competing priorities
• Strong understanding of digital content production (email, social, video, web)
• Working knowledge of print production and marketing collateral
• Experience managing budgets and delivering cost effective solutions

Creative capability

• Some hands-on design or creative skills (e.g. Adobe Creative suite)

• Experience with content creation tools for digital channels (email platforms, social tools, CMS)
• Strong working knowledge of project management tools (e.g. Trello or similar)
• Comfortable managing digital asset workflows and libraries

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, content-driven environment
• Practical and hands-on approach
• Balances creative standards with delivery and deadlines
