Production Assistant
Creative Lives in Progress
This role is part of CLIP's newly established Community & Marketing department. You'll play a key support role in strengthening how we connect with and advocate for emerging creatives across the UK and US.
The Role
Your work will help strengthen relationships within our community, ensure emerging creatives can discover opportunities with ease, connect with grassroots networks and collectives to amplify our reach, and build the systems that allow CLIP to grow its reach and impact.
This is a hands-on role for someone empathetic and people-focused who wants to make a real difference in the creative industries. You'll thrive if you enjoy organising and have good attention to detail. You'll also collaborate closely with our teams across Content, Events, and Partnerships.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the Head of Community & Marketing in building community and marketing practices across the company
- Coordinate between the Community & Marketing team and other departments.
- Engage with our community on CLIP platforms such as Slack, social media, and email to deepen connection and participation.
- Build relationships with and reach out to grassroots organisations, collectives, community platforms and educational institutions to ensure CLIP's activities reach the creatives who need them most
- Assist on and maintain our community database, keeping it up-to-date.
- Gather community feedback and updates to inform decision-making
- Manage outreach and listings for our Opportunities Board to ensure emerging creatives can access relevant opportunities
- Execute campaign tasks such as uploading articles or preparing digital content to support marketing initiatives
- Organise files, documents and admin tasks for projects across different teams to maintain clarity and efficiency
What We’re Looking For
Skills:
- You should have an understanding of the creative industries, and have an interest in community programmes or social impact work
- Able to stay organised and keep track of details across different projects
- You’ll be a people person, able to build warm, genuine connections with others
- You’ll be a confident communicator, in writing and spoken skills
- Experience with social media platforms (e.g. LinkedIn, Instagram)
- Able to work independently and take initiative on tasks where needed
- Able to use digital tools confidently for communication and project management (e.g., Slack, Google Suite, Canva)
- Able to work collaboratively across teams and departments
Experience Level:
- Ideally, you’ll have experience in a community, marketing, or operations support role within the creative industries
- Not essential, but a bonus if you have experience within social impact or similar mission-driven organisations
- Familiar with outreach and written communication, and maintaining databases and/or CRM systems
- This role would suit someone in their second professional position, looking to deepen their skills in community and marketing
Behaviours and Mindsets:
- Comfortable working independently and bringing ideas forward in a collaborative team setting.
- You’ll welcome ambiguity and the unknown - as we build a new department, we won’t always have all the answers.
Growth Potential / Transferable Skills:
Your path might be squiggly or look different from others, and that's okay; we welcome that. We're looking for people who can demonstrate these skills and are excited to learn and develop in this role, so regardless of how traditional or linear your background has been, if you can show us how your experience has prepared you for this role and you're genuinely excited about our mission, we want to hear from you.
