Noatune Studios is looking for a smart, highly organised and commercially minded person with strong experience in bookings, administration, operations or client service, plus a good working understanding of professional recording studios. You need to understand professional studios, communicate exceptionally well, enjoy organising complicated moving parts and be ready to take on real responsibility.
We receive a very high volume of applications, so please only apply if you have the following skills and experience:
- Professional recording studio experience
- Strong understanding of recording, tracking, editing, mixing and mastering workflows
- Several years of professional experience in an administrative, bookings, sales, operations or client-facing role
- Experience in a role where you were personally responsible for deadlines, clients, workload and day-to-day delivery
- Experience managing or supervising other people
- Comfortable delegating work, giving clear instructions and maintaining standards
- Genuine interest in administration, bookings and organisation
- Comfortable handling a high volume of emails, calls, enquiries and competing priorities
- Excellent written English and confident client communication
- Currently living in London with a reliable commute to Hackney
- Happy working 100% on-site
- Comfortable with occasional evening/weekend flexibility
This is primarily a bookings and operations role, not an engineering position.
The role involves taking primary responsibility for Noatune’s enquiries and bookings, which includes:
- Responding to enquiries by email, phone and WhatsApp
- Understanding what clients need and asking the right questions
- Preparing quotes and following up enquiries
- Converting enquiries into paid bookings
- Advising clients on studio, engineer and session requirements
- Identifying appropriate opportunities for additional hours, engineering and mixing
- Organising the studio calendar efficiently
- Handling cancellations and schedule changes
- Coordinating engineers and runners
- Ensuring upcoming sessions are properly prepared
- Managing invoices, payment follow-up and CRM records
- Managing runners and maintaining studio standards
- Supporting selected writing camps and larger commercial/voiceover projects
You will work closely with, coordinate and manage a part-time Booking Assistant, runners and freelance engineers.
The right person will combine strong organisation, administration and client-service skills with a good practical understanding of professional recording studios. You may come from bookings, operations, a label, agency or production company, or from an engineering/production background with substantial experience in administration and client management. You should be comfortable managing a high volume of enquiries, schedules and people, maintaining high standards and keeping important details from slipping.
We’re looking for someone who is organised, commercially aware, calm under pressure and takes pride in delivering an excellent client experience.
Working hours: Full-time, approximately 40 hours per week, primarily Monday–Friday. This is a 100% on-site position with no regular work-from-home days. Recording studios do not operate strictly within office hours, so writing camps, important sessions and occasional operational issues can require some evening or weekend flexibility.
