The role
This is a central role in a small, busy studio. You'll keep the business running smoothly while projects happen across the country. Roughly half the role is executive support to senior management, and half is office management and project coordination. The role also supports associated group ventures.
As the studio grows, the role can grow with it into operations or studio management.
What you'll do
Executive support
- Manage senior management's calendar, meetings and email follow-ups
- Plan and book multi-city travel: flights, hotels, local transport, permits for shoots
- Draft letters, proposals, invoices and client emails; keep documents organised
- Track commitments and deadlines so nothing slips
Office and finance admin
- Run day-to-day office operations, supplies and vendors
- Raise invoices, track payments due, manage petty cash and expense records
- Coordinate with the accountant on GST, TDS and other filings
- Maintain contracts, client records and the equipment register
Project coordination
- Coordinate shoot logistics with photographers, clients and local contacts
- Track project timelines, deliverables and approvals for book and documentation projects
- Liaise with designers, printers and other production vendors
What we're looking for
- 3–6 years in an EA, office manager or coordination role. Hospitality, events, production house or NGO backgrounds are welcome
- Excellent written and spoken English; Hindi essential
- Strong with Google Workspace or MS Office,
especially spreadsheets
- Organised, discreet and calm when plans change at short notice
- Comfortable working on your own and taking ownership without being chased
- Willing to travel occasionally
- Bonus: basic bookkeeping or Tally, experience with government or corporate clients, experience managing vendors and contracts
Why work with us
- Real ownership. In a small team, your work is visible from day one and your systems shape how the studio runs.
- Wide-ranging, meaningful work. No two weeks look the same: coffee table books for leading hotel brands, documentation of landmark public buildings, and films and books for the development sector.
- Travel and exposure. Opportunities to travel to shoots and project sites across India, from heritage properties to the Northeast.
- A professional, small-team environment. Work directly with senior management, clients and vendors, with the autonomy to set up processes your way.
- Growth. A clear path to take on more responsibility as the studio and its associated ventures grow.
- Competitive pay. Salary based on experience (range to be confirmed), with travel expenses covered.
