The Role

At the Royal British Legion, we believe in building on potential. As a Studio Manager your ability to manage RBL’s day to day in-house studio workflow could have a real impact on people’s lives.

At its heart, RBL is a people organisation. People who want to do the very best for others, while at the same time making the most of the opportunities and experiences we offer them.

We are the country’s largest Armed Forces charity, with 210,000 members, 50,000 volunteers and a network of partners and charities; helping us give support wherever and whenever it’s needed.

As Studio Manager you will be the first point of contact between the Brand Team and in-house studio and internal clients from across the organisation. You will manage a wide variety of brand and design requests and queries, ensuring that we always provide excellent support to colleagues.

If successful, the main duties of your role will be:

• Responsible for the effective and efficient running of the RBL’s in-house studio – scheduling and prioritising creative work, brand approvals, asset and creative requests
• Creating and implementing workflow, project management and approval processes to make for a smooth and efficient studio
• Managing projects from brief to completion – receiving client briefs and requests, clarifying client needs, scheduling internal or external resource, managing outputs and ensuring deadlines are met
• Reviewing daily production schedules and resource, and working with the Creative Services Manager
• Quality control – as a brand custodian, ensuring all creative adheres to our brand guidelines, high quality output and necessary permissions/licensing
• Implement and manage an archive system for the studio
• To provide support to the wider Marketing function when required, particularly for national commemorative events, the Poppy Appeal and brand campaigns.

Thriving in a fast-paced environment and juggling deadlines, you are meticulously organised with an eagle eye for detail. You will have significant experience of working in a creative studio environment, ideally in an agency, with a proven track record in managing high quality brand and design work from initial brief to delivery through various production processes.

This role will involve hybrid working, travelling on some days each week to our Head Office in Borough, London SE1 1AA, and working from home on other days.
