There is a lot going on day to day at the studio, and it all needs to be coordinated and taken care of by someone, and this is where we are looking for you: 

Someone who loves to meet and greet others, who excels in sorting things out, and who likes to put communication (both written and spoken) at the center of what they are doing. You will form a team with the Studio Manager where you will help ensure that all the tasks needed to make our studio run smoothly are taken care of.

What will you work on?

You will work on many different tasks, ranging from recurring things such as reading through and answering our incoming emails and making sure they end up with the right person in the studio, to discussing strategic projects with the Studio Manager and helping execute them.
