Here atthe RSPCA no two days are the same. Below is a short summary of what a typical day might look like, for a full insight please refer to the attached job description.

As the Studio Manager for the RSPCA's in-house creative team, your day is a dynamic blend of strategy and operations. You'll be the main point of contact for all creative requests, acting as the team's gatekeeper and champion by refining briefs and ensuring they align with business objectives.

Working closely with the Content Workflow Manager, you'll strategically allocate projects based on capacity, skills, and priorities, constantly reviewing workloads to maintain efficiency and creativity. You'll also play a crucial role in forecasting activity, managing SLAs, and improving briefing processes collaboratively across the organisation. This involves confidently communicating and negotiating with a wide array of internal clients from fundraisers to campaigners, as well as managing relationships with freelancers and agencies, ensuring all creative assets are delivered smoothly for the breadth of the RSPCA's work.

Proven ability in allocating and scheduling work, and managing capacity and priorities for a creative team.
An experienced account/project manager.
Demonstrated skill in working with stakeholders to agree briefs, schedules, priorities, and deadlines.
Proficiency in pushing back on requests when required (e.g., no capacity, not a priority project).
Significant knowledge and understanding of the creative process across all channels, and the ability to recognise high standards and great creative work.
Skilled at briefing, checking, and managing external agencies and freelancers.
Familiarity with workflow programmes (e.g., Trello).
A keen eye for design.
