Role Summary
The Studio Manager / Content Producer exists to operate and scale Chai Vision's in-house photo, video, livestream, and creator content studio across a rapidly growing portfolio of brands. This role keeps an organized, production-ready studio environment running and owns the day-to-day setup, operation, and upkeep of the studio's professional camera, lighting, and audio package — ensuring it is always shoot-ready — while supporting the execution of high-volume, social-first content across TikTok, Instagram, Amazon, YouTube, Shopify, and paid media.
This person is central to turning The Creativerse into an always-on content engine capable of supporting product photography, lifestyle productions, TikTok Lives, creator content, influencer shoots, paid social assets, UGC production, podcasts and streaming, and ecommerce content production. The role combines operational discipline, hands-on technical competence with professional production gear, and modern social content instincts. It suits someone who thrives in fast-paced, highly collaborative production environments.

Who You Are
Experience & Qualifications
2–4 years of hands-on experience in studio production, content production, video/photo production, live production, or a comparable in-house creative or studio environment
Hands-on proficiency operating professional production equipment — full-frame mirrorless and cinema cameras (e.g., Sony mirrorless / cinema bodies), professional LED lighting systems, and wireless lavalier and boom audio
Comfortable both shooting quick-turn iPhone / social content AND operating, maintaining, and safeguarding the studio's professional camera, lighting, and audio package
Working knowledge of basic editing: ingesting, logging, and organizing footage, media/transcoding management, and assembling basic rough cuts and selects for editors
Experience creating social-first content (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts) and supporting livestream / live-selling production is strongly preferred
How You Work
You thrive in high-growth, high-volume creative environments with constantly shifting priorities
You are highly organized, adaptable, and solutions-oriented
You understand how modern social-first content is created and consumed
You are comfortable working around creators, influencers, talent, and production crews
You have strong instincts for TikTok, Instagram Reels, livestream culture, and creator workflows
You can keep productions moving while staying calm under pressure
You are proactive, resourceful, and able to "make things happen" without excessive oversight
You understand that speed, consistency, and execution matter as much as creativity
You are energized by startup-style environments and building systems from the ground up
