ABOUT US
As our equipment and service offerings expand to meet the demands of a booming industry, we’re looking to recruit an Operations Coordinator to be the bridge between our Field Solutions and Mission’s Production teams.
This role will be based at our office/warehouse at Garden Studios, NW10 starting as soon as possible.
ABOUT THE ROLE
With a strong ability to deal with logistics, often supporting projects shooting in remote locations, this job is well suited to someone who enjoys being hands-on, with some technical understanding or transferable skills of digital cinematography and workflows. Mission’s workshop is tasked with building most of our equipment used on productions big and small, and covers the gamut of DIT, Digital Dailies and Video Playback equipment. As such, it’s much more than a rental facility - this is the front end of where the digital workflow starts.
This role would suit someone who is happiest working with people since it will require regular communication with our clients, third party suppliers, our internal teams and the freelancers we support. Some of the key tasks for this role include but are not limited to:
Be the bridge between the production and workshop team
Improving internal systems by supporting the Field Solutions Manager in the running of Current, our internal asset management system.
Work closely with the Field Solutions Manager by tracking workshop expenditure.
Work closely with our pool of freelancers; DIT, Lab and Video Operators and support them with their kit requirements.
Taking care of the administration side of the workshop which includes varied tasks such as issuing RMA’s or chasing productions for damaged and broken kit, raising POs and checking quotes
Coordinate the daily logistics by speaking with clients for deliveries and collections, organising the drivers schedules, booking couriers, and producing carnets.
Other logistical planning can include anything from liaising with rental houses and studios to organising rental vehicles for our technicians when needed.
Mission is both fast-paced and forever evolving, and we’re passionate about hiring people who thrive in that environment. The successful candidate will be happy to turn their hand to whatever is needed to help keep things running smoothly. Our offices are open between 9am-6pm, however, we work with a 35 hour weekly contract.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Have an interest in the client-facing side of the film/TV production industry
Strong initiative and proactive approach to work.
Being a team player is key.
A helpful, can-do attitude
A practical approach to technical problem solving
An excellent command of both written and spoken English
Outstanding client service skills, in person, over the phone and email

Live within a reasonable commute to our NW10 office
Not necessary but beneficial:
Fluency in an additional foreign language
Experience using asset management softwares, especially Current
Spreadsheet experience
Google Suite experience
Whilst having experience in the industry is always a bonus, we’re keen to hear from people from all backgrounds and experiences. What’s important to us is finding a person who can fulfil the above and work with our existing team, whether or not they have industry experience.
THE REWARDS
In return, you’ll get to work with a dedicated and friendly team, and be involved in some of the most exciting digital film projects currently being shot both here in the UK and abroad.
We’ll offer you a competitive rate, as well as the opportunity to learn all about what we do. At Mission we love to help people grow and expand their roles, and we’re happy to support you in achieving your career ambitions. If you’re prepared to work hard, we’ll take good care of you too.
