We are looking for an experienced Studio Manager who will be responsible for our creative resources management and ensuring the smooth and high-quality delivery of all scheduled work. You are the point of day-to-day contact for all stakeholders in the business and a link between them and the designers in the studio.

About us
We're one of the UK's leading housing associations, a member of the G15 group of London's largest housing associations, with 34,000 homes and 1,200 employees in London and the Home Counties.

We're at a particularly exciting point in our story, as Catalyst will join the Peabody Group as a subsidiary on 1 April 2022, before fully merging in April 2023. The new organisation will be responsible for 104,000 homes, with 220,000 residents across London and the South East of England. By joining together, we'll go further and faster with our plans to improve our services, invest in our homes and communities and create innovative solutions to the challenges of carbon consumption and building safety.

Our purpose
We will continue to create and maintain great homes, whilst delivering excellent service to customers every day. We offer a wide range of housing solutions and opportunities for our diverse range of customer needs and requirements including, rent, part ownership or purchase. In doing so, we build more than homes - we build communities.

We will also be able to create great opportunities for our colleagues to develop their careers within our business, and diversity and inclusion and learning and development will continue to be priorities for the new organisation.

What we're looking for:
• Do you have significant experience in design or a creative background?
• Do you have proven experience of managing a team of designers in a busy studio, creative or production house?
• Do you have excellent organisational and project management skills with a keen eye for detail and the ability to manage several aspects of different projects at the same time
• Are you able to assess and manage multiple, and sometimes conflicting, priorities simultaneously?

If so, this is the perfect role for you!

We currently have a great opportunity for a Studio Manager to join us on a 12-month Fixed Term basis.

Do you have what it takes?
To succeed in your role as a Studio Manager you will:
• Have excellent knowledge of the design process from start to finish
• Have excellent client liaison and relationship building skills
• Remain calm under pressure and find solutions quickly to emerging issues
• Be confident in advising on design solutions, projects, and strategies

The UK has a housing problem which affects every one of us, because housing is the foundation of the society we live in. Catalyst is part of the solution and you could be too!

This role is subject to a basic DBS check and will require a full driving licence and access to a vehicle.

The benefits
We're committed to making Catalyst a great place to work. As well as offering a positive culture we offer a competitive pay and benefits package, some of which are listed below:
• Flexible and agile working
• Competitive salaries that are benchmarked regularly against current market rates
• Up to 30 days paid annual leave
• Two additional paid volunteering days each year
• Learning and development programme where we invest in your personal development and training as soon as you start work with us
