Description
We are hiring a Lead Producer to work within our in-house studio team. As a Lead Producer, you will join an established team of creatives and content creators, working alongside highly experienced photographers, videographers, art directors, stylists, designers, and marketing professionals.
We are the only UK retailer with the ability to create and produce content for global brands in-house.
Based out of our purpose-built studio at The Sharp Project, this is an exciting role reporting directly to the Head of Creative & Studio.
The Team
The Studio Team sits within the wider Marketing Department and operates out of The Sharp Project in Manchester. While our physical home is in the studio, we're in constant collaboration with Head Office and the wider business. We work across Footasylum's Own Brands as well as global sportswear and streetwear names.
Every day is different, and the pace is fast. From daily ecomm shoots to large-scale campaigns, brand partnerships, and retail activations. Our team thrives on creativity, teamwork, and a shared passion for the culture we represent.
We're committed to creating content that not only looks great but genuinely connects with our customer.
About You
We are looking for someone who embodies the Footasylum values of Collaboration, Communication, and Challenge.
You are a natural leader, relationship builder, and problem solver. You thrive in a fast-moving creative environment and have the organizational skills to keep multiple productions moving without compromising quality.
You'll champion creative excellence while balancing budgets, timelines, and commercial objectives. You'll know how to get the very best from the people around you.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
