Film and Photography Production Officer

Great creative work relies on brilliant production behind the scenes. As our Film and Photography Production Officer, you’ll keep everything running smoothly, managing the logistics that support our film and photography output. From planning shoots and coordinating the finer details, to ensuring consent and documentation are accurate and up to date, you’ll play a key role in enabling high-quality work.

You’ll also maintain an organised and accessible Digital Asset Library, making it easy for the team to find and use what they need. While this isn’t a creative role, it’s central to helping our creatives deliver powerful content consistently and effectively.

In practice, this could include:

• Planning and coordinating video and photography shoots, including schedules, call sheets, travel, equipment hire and catering.
• Working closely with our Senior Film and Photography Officer and Manager to make sure production plans support the creative vision.
• Managing key production documentation such as risk assessments, contracts, permits and licensing agreements.
• Proactively identifying potential risks, scheduling challenges or resourcing gaps, and helping to find practical solutions.
• Commissioning and onboarding freelancers, coordinating rotas and helping maintain strong supplier relationships.
• Making sure consent processes are followed properly, with accurate records that meet governance and GDPR standards.
• Overseeing the day-to-day management of the Digital Asset Library, including uploading content with clear metadata, usage rights and categorisation.
• Supporting ongoing improvements to the Digital Asset Library so content remains easy to find, well managed and compliant across the organisation.
  

You’re highly organised, detail-focused and take pride in keeping things running smoothly. While you don’t need to be a filmmaker or photographer, you’ll have a good understanding of how creative teams work and what they need to deliver their best work. You’ll be comfortable supporting productions so they run safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

We’d love you to bring:

• Strong organisation and project management skills, highly organised, detail-focused and proactive when it comes to spotting issues, solving problems and improving the way things work.
• A genuine interest in tools that improve workflow, organisation and collaboration, from AI to project management systems.
• Experience coordinating production logistics, including planning shoots, managing schedules, travel, suppliers and freelancers, and keeping documentation on track.
• A clear understanding of consent, usage rights and good governance, with a strong focus on accuracy and compliance
• Ability to use digital systems for file and asset management, including DAMs, metadata and maintaining tidy, reliable records.
• A collaborative, solutions-focused style, with the ability to communicate clearly, build trusted relationships and stay calm under pressure.
• Motivation to enable brilliant storytelling by helping others do their best work.
