Written In The Atelier
Built question by question, never posted as an advertisementThe Next Move
We have outgrown the way we work. Ferngrove has doubled in three years, and the systems that carried us here are held together by memory and goodwill. We need someone who can see how it all fits together, and then quietly make it fit better.
The Difference You Will Make
Six months in, the studio runs without anyone holding their breath. Producers know what is happening next week without asking. Our founder stops being the bottleneck on decisions that were never hers to make.
The Shape Of The Work
Lead the operations team of four. Build the systems that replace the memory. Organise the studio calendar so it holds. Steady the week. Improve what already works. Connect the people who keep missing each other.
The Room To Move
You own the operating budget and you decide how it is spent. You can change any process you inherit without asking permission. You hire and shape your own team. Beyond the role: creative direction stays with our founder, and client pricing stays with our commercial lead.

School pickup is normal here. Two of us do it.
Production weeks run hot, roughly six a year, and we say so before you ask.
The Place You Are Joining
Twenty-six people, eleven years old, independent, and intending to stay that way.
The work, and the fact that nobody here shouts. Decisions get made in the room, by the people doing them.
Our finance function is half-built and it shows. Production weeks run hotter than they should. You would be walking into both, with our hands held up about it.
The Invitation
If you bring calm to complexity, see what matters and enjoy making a good business work even better, we would love to hear from you.
