Studio (Office) Manager - For a Wedding Photography Company

Job Title:

Studio Manager (CEO-style Internal Leadership Role) - Small Enterprise

Mumbai | Full-Time | Work from Office

About Us:

Movieing Moments is a premium wedding photography and cinematography company known for crafting emotionally resonant stories with elegance, creativity, and structure. We're not just a studio that captures weddings — we build experiences rooted in aesthetics, storytelling, and seamless delivery. With a strong creative team and growing clientele across India and abroad, we're now looking to strengthen our internal backbone through streamlined operations and leadership.

About the Role:

This is not a client-facing or creative role — it's a backend leadership position where you'll manage studio operations, ensure timely delivery, enforce team accountability, and build the systems that keep a high-functioning creative company running.

We're looking for someone who thinks like a founder — someone who doesn't wait to be told what to do, but sees what's missing and creates structure, solves problems, and takes full ownership of delivery, administration, and internal coordination.

You'll be the one building and improving systems, overseeing studio discipline, managing internal communication, and becoming the anchor between all teams.

You'll also play a key role in nurturing company culture — from basic HR policies and team check-ins to ensuring the studio remains a positive, organized, and growth-oriented place to work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end project delivery tracking and team follow-ups
• Maintain internal systems: project logs, timelines, shoot calendars, task assignments
• Assign and follow up with editors, creative teams, and freelancers
• Oversee shoot logistics, team bookings, gear tracking, and dispatch systems
• Create and refine internal processes to ensure smoother coordination and accountability
• Audit team performance and report productivity gaps to the Founder
• Track studio assets (hard drives, equipment, gifts, etc.)
• Take ownership of administration and vendor coordination
• Handle basic HR operations — attendance, leaves, onboarding docs, team reviews
• Contribute to culture — initiate HR events, structure review systems, support a safe & professional work environment
• Work closely with the Founder to review internal pain points and continuously build better internal systems

Who is This Role For:

• Someone with 3–6 years of experience who has independently handled office, studio, or internal operations
• Has created internal systems before — not just followed what was given
• Thinks and acts like a leader, but doesn't need a C-suite title to prove it
• Brings clarity, structure, and follow-through — without needing daily supervision
• Enjoys managing teams, solving backend challenges, and getting things done
• Comfortable being a strong second-in-command, especially when the founder is away
• Note: While this is a leadership-style role, we're not looking for heavily senior profiles with 10–15+ years of experience. This is a mid-level role — ideal for someone who's handled responsibility, built systems, and is now ready to own a central role in a growing creative company.

Qualifications & Skills:

• 3–6 years in operations, admin leadership, or studio/project coordination
• Strong ownership mindset — doesn't wait for instructions to solve problems
• Clarity in communication, firm when needed, warm but not a pushover
• Ability to manage multiple people, timelines, and operational areas
• Familiarity with the creative, production, or event industries is a plus
• Comfortable reporting directly to the Founder and working in a fast-moving environment

Who Should Not Apply:

• Creative professionals or client-facing executives
• Those looking for remote or hybrid roles — this is office-based
• People who require daily micromanagement or avoid tough conversations
• Individuals who are not comfortable with team follow-ups or admin responsibilities

What We Offer:

• A leadership role within one of India's most respected wedding storytelling studios
• The opportunity to build systems, lead internal growth, and be a central figure in operations
• Autonomy, respect, and full visibility into how a creative company functions
• A collaborative, professional studio culture that values structure and accountability
