Just what is it that makes a great Creative Services Manager? Well, we think it’s got something to do with being a unique combination of big picture thinker and detail focused deliverer. Someone who has the ability to design and implement systems and processes, but, just as importantly, ‘gets’ people too.

Ultimately, it’s someone who brings people together. Who encourages shared ownership and collaboration. Has exacting standards. Provides clear direction. And does it all with confidence, finesse and more than a bit of charm.

There are few real opportunities to take complete ownership of a studio operation and shape it as you see fit. But this really is one. You see, we’re a business that believes in continuous improvement, and, as we’re also rapidly expanding, we don’t have to just be in great shape today, but future proofed for the demands of tomorrow too.

As such, here you’ll have the platform to bring together your experience and expertise to develop and deploy ideas for operational excellence in a fast-paced, highly creative, multimedia environment.

With proven ability as a studio manager with line management responsibility, you’ll have plenty of experience acting as the bridge between creative and client service. You’ll also be able to evidence your exceptional project management skills – and ability to develop others in this direction.

Above all though, you’ll be keen to show how you can bring new ideas to fruition, have successfully managed change and, while able to step back and see the studio operation from the big picture perspective, can also ensure the smallest request can be processed and delivered at pace – while still going through the robust quality control checks our clients deserve.

It’s a big ask. But the returns are pretty big too – including an attractive salary, 30 days annual leave and, of course, the chance to put every great idea you’ve ever had around the management of an agency’s creative services into action. Over to you…
