Why join us
Joining our team at Argos offers an exciting opportunity to be part of a fast-paced and dynamic environment. As a Studio Runner, you'll play a crucial role in coordinating the flow of production and ensuring the studio's cleanliness and adherence to health and safety standards. You will have the chance to work closely with a talented Creative team, supporting studio shoots, and maintaining the quality of samples for content creation.

Join us and contribute to the success of our creative productions while working in a flexible and innovative atmosphere.
What you'll do
As a Studio Runner, you will play a vital role in coordinating all aspects of production and sample flow on the studio floor. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure that products arrive on schedule, are clean, and fit for use during photography and video shoots. You will track adherence to the production schedule, flagging any delays or missing samples, and ensure that damaged samples are properly labelled and taken out of circulation. Additionally, you will assist with studio and location content production, including preparing production equipment and kit, and maintaining organisation and cleanliness on the studio floor. Health and safety will be a priority, as you will complete daily checks and ensure adherence to protocols. At times, you may be required to participate in location shoots, which may involve overnight stays. Your attention to detail and ability to prioritise tasks will contribute to the overall efficiency and success of the studio operations.
Who you are
As a Studio Runner, you are a highly efficient and organised individual with a strong attention to detail. You excel in coordinating all aspects of production / sample flow on the studio floor, ensuring products are delivered and returned in line with agreed schedules, clean, and fit for purpose. With a commitment to maintaining high cleanliness standards and strict adherence to health and safety procedures, you play a vital role in creating a safe and productive environment for the creative team. Your ability to track sample movements, manage production flow, and assist with content production, such as photography and video, contributes to the smooth operation of the studio. As a natural problem-solver, you are proactive in addressing any issues that may arise and have a keen eye for maintaining studio cleanliness and tidiness. Your strong communication skills allow you to work collaboratively with various teams to ensure that KPIs and production schedules are met, and your ability to handle physical tasks demonstrates your fitness for the role.
