London
We are a dynamic podcast production company based in the heart of Southgate, London, collaborating with some of the biggest talent in the UK. Our cutting-edge studio is a creative hub where podcasters bring their ideas to life, producing high-quality content that pushes boundaries. We’re now looking for a part-time Videographer/Studio Assistant to join our rapidly expanding team. This role will be crucial in ensuring seamless studio operations and producing exceptional video content for our podcast clients.
If you're passionate about podcasts, detail-oriented, and have experience supporting high-profile productions, we want to hear from you. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to grow within the podcast industry, or for a freelancer seeking a steady role to complement their own projects. As a small, fast-growing company, we value self-starters who can take ownership of their work and treat the studio like it’s their own.
Our studio operates Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 21:00, and 10:00 to 18:00 on weekends. The core team works Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00, but shoots outside of these hours are handled on an ad hoc basis. Due to our rapid growth, we’re looking for someone to help manage evening and weekend sessions, which makes this role perfect for anyone seeking flexibility.
We’re also expanding our studio and have plans for the role to transition to a full-time position in the next 3 to 4 months, offering exciting career development opportunities.
