Job Description

A leading creative studio at the forefront of live entertainment design is on the lookout for a hands-on HR & Operations Manager to join their tight-knit team in London. With a track record of high-profile projects, this is a chance to join a company where creativity, innovation, and collaboration thrive.

Based in Central London, they are open to part time and full time candidates.

This newly created role will be key in developing the HR side of the business while also supporting general operations across the studio. You'll be joining a small perm team and supporting their fluctuating freelancer headcount with scheduling, onboarding admin, and everyday operational needs. There's plenty of room to take ownership of longer-term projects too - from creating a company handbook to implementing new policies and launching internal culture and wellbeing initiatives.

The ideal candidate will have experience in a similarly creative, fast-paced environment - most likely a small agency or studio where you've had to be hands-on and adaptable. Perhaps you started in a general ops role and gradually took on more HR responsibilities, or maybe you've studied for your CIPD and are now looking for a role where you can shape something from scratch. Either way, you'll need to be comfortable with the blend of people-focused and operational work, with the gravitas to influence senior stakeholders and hit the ground running.

There's a strong appetite across the studio to build a people-first culture, and this is a chance to make a real impact.

If this sounds like the next move for you, please apply now to hear more!
