Job Description

Studio Staff members manage our off-campus studio by assisting students and clients with the check-in & check-out process, location tours, and general studio maintenance. The hours are based around when the studio gets reserved, so there is no set schedule or guaranteed number of hours. Assignments will be made based on staff members' availability as reservations are made.

Only students with majors or minors in the Park School of Communications will be considered for these positions. Preference will be given to students who have participated in Park Productions workshops, events, and other activities as trainees.

About the Studio:

The Studio is located in the South Hill Business Campus at 950 Danby Rd, right across the road from IC's campus. It holds a total of 3 studio spaces, as well as a workshop space. The Studio is free to use for IC students creating film projects, and can also be rented out by external clients for a fee when not in use by students.

Help our clients have a safe, clean, and fun experience inside our studio space. There are no set hours of operation, as the schedule depends on when reservations are made. Shoots frequently occur on weekends, or late nights on weekdays. Staff members are not required to be present during the actual shoots, only for check-in & check-out, so it is typically not more than an hour at a time.

You would be expected to arrive before the clients to walk through the space and take note of its current condition, review the detailed client forms for all information on their visit (ex: total time of stay, list of props, crew, etc). Ensure that guests are using the space responsibility and are following all predetermined plans. For closing, ensure that everything is left as it was found and is ready for the next reservation. Tidy up the space and check for damages/signs of misconduct inside the space. Report any damages or signs of misuse to the Studio Manager immediately.

Key Responsibilities:

• Greet and assist students and clients who reserve The Studio
• Ensure that all users follow The Studio guidelines and safety protocols
• Provide tours of the space for people doing location scouts & answer their questions about the space and how it can be used for their project
• At the beginning of a reservation, meet the students/client to give them an orientation to the space, show them where everything is, reiterate the guidelines for use, and answer any questions they may have.
• At the end of a reservation, conduct a final walkthrough of the space with the client to ensure nothing is left behind, nothing is broken or damaged, and no Studio property was removed.
• Ensure the studio space is organized, clean, and properly maintained.
• Monitor and maintain studio equipment and supplies, ensuring everything is in working order.
• Change the PIN on the door after each use.

Qualifications:

• Previous experience in studio or space management, hospitality, or similar role preferred (but not required)
• Flexible schedule, available to work some late nights and weekends
• Excellent organizational and time management skills
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work with a variety of people
• Knowledge of studio equipment, technology, and maintenance
• Ability to multitask and handle various responsibilities simultaneously
• Having a car is not required, but would make it easier since the location is off campus. It is a short walk from campus, about 10-15 minutes from the Park School, but having a car would be preferable, especially for late at night or in inclement whether.

Please provide a resumé and a cover letter that includes why you are interested in joining The Studio Staff, and any relevant experience you have.

Along with submitting a resume and cover letter, please sign up for the Studio Team at the link below, as well as any other Park Productions teams you may be interested in joining (if you have already done this previously, you do not need to do it again).
