About the Role
We’re looking for a versatile and experienced Studio Manager to lead operations for a new high-throughput eCommerce video studio. The role combines multi-camera television production expertise with sales-focused scriptwriting and directing, ensuring every product video is sharp, effective, and on-brand. This is a hands-on leadership position overseeing crew,
workflow, and production standards across two studio teams. You’ll direct and vision mix shoots, support the creative process, and help refine a scalable, efficient content machine.
This role would ideally suit someone with shopping television or direct-response experience, but we’re open to producers with strong studio broadcast backgrounds who are comfortable with high-volume production and fast turnarounds.
Responsibilities:
● Lead and coordinate daily operations across both studio teams, working closely with vision mixer directors, floor crew, and client teams.
● Direct and vision mix multi-camera shoots using a switcher or similar hardware.
● Collaborate with presenters and floor staff to maintain production pace and visual consistency.
● Write using LLM, edit, and review sales-driven scripts in line with brand tone and merchandising guidelines.
● Perform light editing in Adobe Premiere (or equivalent) as needed to support fast delivery.
● Ensure daily schedules are met and workflows remain efficient and adaptable.
● Liaise with client teams and oversee technical and creative standards.
● Troubleshoot production issues and support continuous improvement across the team.
About You
The essentials:
● Solid background in multi-camera studio television production.
● Experience directing live or live-to-tape shoots with presenters.
● Demonstrable skill in writing sales or product-driven scripts.
● Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or other non-linear editors.
● Strong organisational and team leadership skills.
● Comfortable working with cloud-based or automated studio workflows.
● Ability to remain calm, efficient, and solutions-focused in a high-output environment.
● Experience in teleshopping, direct-response television, or commercial eCommerce video.
● Familiarity with Vision mixing, audio and associated workflows.
● Understanding of digital asset management
● Previous experience scaling studio teams or helping build production infrastructure preferred.
Why This Role?
You’ll be part of a team building an entirely new kind of eCommerce studio — fast, smart, automated, and scalable. Working with a major global retailer, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how product content is made at volume, using cutting-edge technology and production models rooted in television craft.
