Cambridge Heath, East London
We are looking for highly engaged, detail oriented freelance production assistants / coordinators and account managers. We're a small and friendly bunch situated in East London on the Hackney Road, in the Gossamer City Project - a little village of shipping containers.
We are an award-winning content agency that specialises in making branded films about places, spaces, food and drink. We make story led, documentary style and scripted films of high production value and we are passionate about narrative and stylistic innovation.
You would be working in a nimble team alongside the Director. The main focus is logistical management, and it would provide opportunity for your creative input and leadership skills.
We are looking for people who are organised, confident, with acute attention to detail, and are able to thrive under the pressure of meeting client expectations as well as our own. This would initially be project based, with a view to offering a permanent position.
The most important thing for us is to meet someone of good character who really wants to be a part of what we do.
If this prospect sounds interesting, send us your CV and a cover email. Please put an 'x' in the top right-hand corner of your cover email. Let us know why this could be a good fit for you and describe the project you are most proud of having delivered and why.
