The Role

We are looking for a skilled and confident Assistant Manager of Video Production to join our global studio team. This is a hands-on production role, with a primary focus on live event production in our London studio. The ideal candidate brings technical expertise, creative instincts, and the composure to deliver polished productions under pressure; whether managing a live executive broadcast or crafting a finished video piece in post.

You will collaborate closely with subject matter experts, senior leadership up to C-suite level, and external clients, serving as both a trusted production partner and a confident decision-maker on the studio floor. You thrive in a fast-moving studio environment and take pride in delivering high-quality work. You understand that a great production is as much about people management as it is technical execution and you have the confidence to lead a room while remaining collaborative and solution-focused. You know when to act on your own judgment and when to bring others in, and you treat every stakeholder with professionalism and respect.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and execute live studio productions including webcasts, executive interviews, panel discussions, earnings calls, and client-facing broadcast events.
  • Operate and oversee studio equipment including cameras, switchers, audio consoles, lighting rigs, and broadcast graphics systems.
  • Coordinate all technical elements of live broadcasts, ensuring seamless delivery from pre-production through to transmission.
  • Manage studio setup, run-of-show logistics, and real-time troubleshooting during live events.
  • Edit and deliver polished video content including event highlights, interview packages, promotional clips, and internal communications.
  • Manage post-production workflows including color correction, audio mixing, graphics integration, and file delivery across multiple formats and platforms.
  • Maintain organized project files, asset libraries, and archiving systems.
  • Build strong relationships with internal clients, external partners, and senior stakeholders, understanding their production needs and translating them into compelling content.
  • Brief and prepare on-screen talent, including C-level executives, providing clear direction with professionalism and tact.
  • Manage client expectations, communicate timelines, and proactively address production challenges with solutions-oriented thinking.
  • Confidently push back on requests where necessary, offering well-reasoned alternatives that protect production quality and integrity.
  • Work effectively both independently and as part of a wider production team, adapting to shifting priorities and production scales.
  • Support the management of freelance crew and external vendors when required.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of studio workflows, processes, and equipment standards.
  • Adjust in-office schedule as needed to support events and shoots.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • 5+ years of professional video production experience, with a strong emphasis on live studio or broadcast environments.
  • Experience working within financial services or corporate broadcast environments.
  • Proven experience operating in a professional broadcast studio, including multi-camera live switching and audio management.
  • Solid video editing skills with proficiency in industry-standard software (Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent).
  • Demonstrated experience working directly with executive-level talent, with the confidence and professionalism to manage high-profile individuals on set.
  • Familiarity with streaming platforms and webcast technology (e.g., StreamYard, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Tricaster, OBS) would be beneficial.
  • Knowledge of studio lighting design and basic set production preferred.
  • Strong client-facing communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to translate complex creative or technical concepts clearly.
  • Ability to make decisive, informed judgments in fast-paced live environments and assert professional opinions with diplomacy.
  • Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple productions simultaneously.
