Job description

Assistant to the Creative Director - Live Performance

Prepping out of Hollywood, Los Angeles.

We are a small design studio seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, and creatively fluent Assistant to the Creative Director to support the creative direction of a live performance. This is a full-time, hands-on role for someone who thrives on structure, visual storytelling, and keeping a fast-moving creative process on track.

You'll work directly with the Creative Director, helping shape and organize the visual and logistical backbone of the production - from research and reference gathering to deck-building, budget tracking, and day-to-day scheduling.

About the Role

This position sits at the intersection of creative support and production coordination. You'll be building presentations that communicate ideas clearly and beautifully, organizing a growing library of visual research, and making sure nothing - from a Zoom invite to a budget line - falls through the cracks.

Note: This role also includes an element of personal assistant support for the Creative Director. We're happy to discuss the scope of this in more detail during the interview process.

Responsibilities

• Build and refine dynamic, visually polished decks and presentations in Keynote for creative pitches, production meetings, and stakeholder reviews
• Conduct heavy visual research - sourcing, curating, and organizing reference images and inspiration material
• Maintain an organized archive and filing system for images, documents, and creative assets so anything can be found quickly
• Track and manage production budgets in Excel or similar software, working alongside the Creative Director and production team
• Maintain and update shared trackers, schedules, and production documents in Google Sheets
• Prepare and edit visual assets in Photoshop as needed for presentations, mood boards, and reference decks
• Manage communications - organizing correspondence, following up on outstanding items, and keeping information easy to retrieve
• Schedule and set up Zoom calls and meetings, and help keep the creative team on schedule and on deadline
• Provide general organizational and administrative support to the Creative Director, including occasional personal assistant tasks (details to be discussed)

Who You Are

• 4+ years of professional experience in a related field (production, design, live events, broadcast, or similar)
• Proficient in Keynote, with the ability to build clean, dynamic, presentation-ready decks
• Comfortable in Google Sheets for scheduling, tracking, and team coordination
• Working knowledge of Photoshop for asset prep and image editing
• Experience tracking budgets in Excel or a comparable tool
• Exceptionally organized, with a strong eye for visual research and archiving
• A clear, proactive communicator who can manage schedules and keep a team on track
• Comfortable working closely and directly with a Creative Director in a fast-paced, creative environment

Coming from film production? This role could be a great opportunity to bring your skills into the live performance and live broadcast world. Candidates with production coordination, art department, or post-production backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

A plus: Experience in live performance, live events, or live broadcast production.
