Job summary

TubeScience is seeking a hands-on Studio Manager to own the studio operations for a fast-paced content production environment in Los Angeles. You will oversee gear, sets, lighting, sound, safety, and workflows to keep shoots on schedule and on budget.

You'll lead Coordinators, Assistants, and PAs, build SOPs, and partner with Post, Facilities, IT, and Finance to prevent recurring problems. Strong operational judgment and clear communication are essential.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in studio operations, production services, equipment operations, or physical production.
• Strong knowledge of professional camera, lighting, grip, and sound equipment and studio workflows.
• Experience leading production crews in a fast-paced environment.
• A systems mindset and proactive style: you fix root causes and surface risks early, with a solution in hand.
• Clear, direct communication with creatives, producers, vendors, and leadership.

Responsibilities

• Keep the studio shoot-ready (sets, lighting, sound, gear, safety) and catch scheduling conflicts before they hit the floor.
• Run gear inventory, checkout, maintenance, repairs, and purchasing so everyone knows where equipment is and whether it's ready.
• Coach and develop Studio Coordinators, Assistants, and PAs into a crew that runs without constant direction.
• Plan coverage for PTO, sick days, and peak weeks so a routine gap never becomes an emergency.
• Build SOPs, checklists, and workflows with Post, Facilities, IT, and Finance that turn recurring problems into permanent fixes.
• Manage rental, rigging, and construction vendors; track spend and flag costs early.
• Be the first call on shoot day: solve problems fast and communicate clearly.
