Job Description

Job Description

About the role

The studio is hiring a part-time Studio Site & Social Media Manager with flexible hours, at $22–$26/hour plus overtime. The role has two equal halves: running the studio floor on shoot days, and running the studio’s social media.

On site, you’ll check productions in and wrap them out, keep the stage clean and stocked, and take care of clients while they shoot. Online, you’ll turn what happens here into content that brings filmmakers, photographers, musicians and brands through our doors. We want someone who loves this space and wants to help build a real community of creatives around the studio and its almost 11-year history.

Responsibilities

1. Studio site management (core)

• Open the studio and check in productions: walk them through the space, power, house rules and safety.
• Check house gear in and out (grip, electric, furniture, props) against each booking.
• Run check in and wrap out: note add ons and damage, missing items or overtime, confirm the space is restored, trash is out and close out the booking.
• Be the on-site point of contact while clients shoot: answer questions, solve problems, troubleshoot G&E basics.
• Light cleaning and reset between bookings: floors, touch-ups, green room and restrooms.
• Track inventory of gear, expendables and supplies; flag repairs and reorder needs.

2. Social media and content (core)

• Own the studio’s social channels: plan, shoot, edit and post content on a regular schedule.
• Capture behind-the-scenes photos and video on shoot days, with client permission.
• Train other staff to capture behind-the-scenes content.
• Grow followers and engagement, and showcase the studio to production companies, labels and agencies.
• Track what’s working and share simple monthly results.

3. Community and growth

• Log client contacts, bookings and follow-ups in HubSpot.
• Introduce production companies, music labels, and marketing and ad agencies to the studio.
• Help plan and host community events, meetups and screenings.

What we’re looking for

Required

• Proven social media skills: shooting and editing short-form video, posting consistently and growing an audience. Please share accounts you’ve run and metrics.
• Studio site management and/or film, commercial or photo production experience.
• Comfortable being the point person with clients: calm, friendly and solution-focused under pressure.
• Organized and detail-oriented with check-ins, inventory and paperwork.
• Able to lift 30 lbs.

Preferred

• Experience with a CRM such as HubSpot or Salesforce.
• Comfortable with photo and video editing tools.
• Working knowledge of grip and electric: stands, flags, rigging basics, lighting, power distribution and set safety.

Bonus points

• An existing network of production companies, music labels, and marketing and advertising agencies.
• A genuine desire to help build a community of creatives around the studio.

Schedule and pay

• Employment type: Part-time, hourly, non-exempt (W-2)
• Hours: About 15–40 hours per week, depending on bookings
• Shift length: 4–13 hours, based on bookings
• Pay: $22–$26/hour (good-faith range, based on experience)

This is a part-time role with flexible hours. Expect some early calls, late wraps and weekends.
