Production Manager
Production Manager
Reporting to: Lisa Eldridge
Location: London (with flexibility) Type: Full-time, permanent
The Opportunity
Lisa Eldridge Beauty is a premium beauty brand built on artistry, education, and authentic storytelling. Content is at the heart of everything we do—from long-form YouTube editorials and major campaign shoots, through to weekly social output and performance-driven paid media.
As Production Manager, you will be the operational engine behind all of it. You will own the logistics that make great content possible—scheduling shoots, managing crews, overseeing post-production pipelines, and ensuring assets are delivered on time, to brief, and to the brand’s high standards.
This is a role for someone who is exceptionally organised, calm under pressure, and deeply experienced in managing complex, multi-format production schedules. You will not be the creative lead—that sits with the brand—but you will be the person who makes the creative vision a practical reality.
The Production Landscape
Our content spans four pillars, each with distinct production requirements:
House of Eldridge
Quarterly planning
- Long-form editorial content:
- YouTube series
- Podcast episodes
- Lisa-led tutorials
- Behind-the-scenes storytelling
Brand Content
Quarterly planning
- Campaign shoots
- Product photography
- Model casting
- Packshots
- Texture shots
- Visual merchandising content for retail and e-commerce (Typically the highest production complexity, involving full crews: DOPs, photographers, retouchers, CGI artists, hair, lighting & casting.)
House of Eldridge (Organic Social)
Weekly output
- Shorter-form shoots adapted for TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms (Faster turnaround, lighter crew, but still requiring careful scheduling to maintain brand presence.)
Paid Media
Weekly output
- Performance cutdowns
- Hook variations
- Launch support assets (Primarily an edit and delivery management task, coordinating with social teams and paid media to hit deadlines.)
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will oversee production across all four pillars, supporting existing produces in each area.
