Studio Manager - Rugby

*Please note you must be based within commutable distance to Rugby for this role, or be willing to relocate.*

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.
