PRODUCTION ASSISTANT in London

We Realise Potential in Your Story. Based in the heart of Shoreditch, we are a multi-platform production company, social media agency, and digital media network who are currently on a quest to find a Production Assistant to join us as we expand our Network Originals initiative.

At Little Dot, we are launching a series of innovative YouTube channels focused on original creator content across varied subject matters. Based primarily in our new London studio space, this role offers a unique opportunity to help shape new channels and grow alongside a fast-paced, high-volume production team.

We are seeking a proactive professional to support our Production Manager in maintaining a seamless workflow from pre-production through to delivery, as we scale. This position is ideal for an experienced Production Assistant looking to transition into a Coordinator role.
