Job description

I’m working with a creative business looking for an experienced Photography Project Manager to take ownership of photography projects from initial brief through to final asset delivery.

It’s a role sitting right at the center of Creative, Photography, and Commercial teams, making sure shoots are properly planned, budgets are controlled and the creative idea survives the realities of production.

You’ll be responsible for the full photography lifecycle, including pre-production, shoot scheduling, locations, permits, crew and supplier coordination, post-production, retouching and final delivery.

A big part of the role is keeping everything moving, managing timelines, budgets, resource, risks and approvals, while working closely with Creative Directors, Photographers, and the wider creative team.

You’ll also take ownership of photography budgets, cost tracking and forecasting, and make sure final assets are properly organised, quality checked and delivered to the right technical specifications.

We’re looking for someone with strong experience managing photography shoots and content production, who is comfortable balancing creative ambition with budgets, logistics and deadlines.

Experience across areas such as location shoots, permitting, production budgets, post-production and asset delivery will be particularly useful.

You’ll need to be organised, commercially aware and confident dealing with multiple teams and suppliers, but equally comfortable working closely with creative people and understanding what they’re trying to achieve.
