About the Photo & Audio Visual (AV) Studio team
The Photo & AV Studio team sits within the marketing organisation and has the enviable position of straddling two worlds in the entertainment industry: marketing strategy and Photo & AV asset creation. We specialise in finding the most impactful visual strategy for our local Originals or campaigns and bringing it to life through photography and AV, producing content that compels people to watch our shows across multiple channels and platforms.
About the Role
We're looking for a Photo & AV Studio Manager to join our Berlin office — a strategic and creative mind who translates marketing strategy into photo & AV assets we leverage across our campaigns. You'll develop the visual direction, decide what is needed to execute it, and lead the process end to end, from ideation through production.
What photo will pop on socials? What video will drive conversation? How do we tell a show's story in one image? What will help influencers create their own assets? What video gets audiences and publishers excited about a new show? What special idea can we realise at an activation or event that gets people talking? These are just some of the opportunities you'll be delivering in this role.
Strong strategic thinking, organisational skill, a very proactive mindset, and the ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously are essential. This role is highly cross-functional, partnering with Social, Marketing, Publicity, and Product to turn that strategy into standout content.

Skills & Requirements:
8 or more years experience working across visual asset production / creation, publishing, marketing, publicity and/or entertainment
Demonstrated solid organisational skills, effective time management, and the ability to deliver clear and effective written and verbal communication across internal and external teams.
