Studio Operations Assistant

Warner Bros. Discovery is hiring a Studio Operations Assistant at its Leavesden studio complex in Hertfordshire. This role sits within the Studio Operations department, supporting the day-to-day running of one of the UK’s largest working film studio facilities across active feature film production and long-term stage lets. It suits someone who understands how a working studio lot functions and wants to build a career in studio and production services management.

About the Role

The Studio Operations team at Leavesden manages the physical infrastructure that keeps productions running, from stage scheduling and lot access to facilities coordination across one of Europe’s most active studio sites. On any given day this person might be supporting stage turnovers between productions, liaising with departments on facility requests, or tracking operational logistics across a site that regularly hosts large-scale feature film production. The role is hands-on and requires someone comfortable moving between office-based coordination and being present on the ground.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinating stage and facility bookings across the Leavesden lot to ensure productions have confirmed access to spaces, equipment, and services on schedule.
• Acting as a first point of contact for production companies and in-house departments raising operational queries or facilities requests.
• Supporting the management of contractor and vendor activity on site, ensuring compliance with studio safety and access protocols.
• Maintaining operational records, occupancy logs, and scheduling documentation in line with studio management procedures.
• Assisting with site inspections and stage readiness checks between production turnovers.
• Tracking and escalating maintenance and facilities issues to the relevant studio operations leads in a timely manner.

What You Bring

• Prior experience in a studio, facilities, or production services environment, whether on a working lot or within a broadcast or post-production facility.
• Familiarity with how feature film production and episodic television productions interact with studio infrastructure and scheduling.
• Strong organisational skills and experience managing competing priorities across multiple stakeholders.
• Confidence working across departments and with external production companies at varying levels of seniority.
• Competence with standard office and scheduling software used in a production services or facilities context.

Why This Role

Warner Bros. Discovery’s Leavesden site has hosted some of the most significant feature film productions of the last two decades and remains one of the busiest working studio facilities in the UK. A Studio Operations Assistant position here offers direct exposure to the full scope of how a major studio lot is run, across multiple concurrent productions. For someone building a career in studio management or production services, the breadth of activity at this site is difficult to match.
