Zest Photography is looking for a driven, highly organised and people-focused Studio Manager to take ownership of running our Midland photography studio and leading our team to achieve its goals.

We are looking for someone who loves leading people, takes ownership, is driven by achieving KPIs and genuinely enjoys organisation, structure and making sure things are followed through.

Most importantly, you’ll be passionate about our mission to help women see themselves as beautiful and confident through an empowering Zest Photography experience.

The Role

As Studio Manager, you will work across people, operations, sales, client experience and systems, making sure the many moving parts of a busy photography studio work together.

You'll also conduct face-to-face client viewing and design consultations, helping clients select and purchase the photographs and artwork they love.
