- Evaluate the requirements of the client and the significance this has on rostering decisions and the resources available, consulting craft leaders, Studio Resource Supervisors and Studio Managers to clarify requirements.
- Manage and update absence, annual or other leave, financial and overtime records in online systems in a prompt and accurate manner.
- Book freelance employees as required and process invoices for payment.
- Ensure that internal crew rostered hours are efficient and time-off controls are in place.
- Ensure prompt communication flow so all Studio Managers, Studio Resource Supervisors, clients and crew have all necessary information relating to our productions.
- Work at speed with accuracy and to prioritise under pressure to meet deadlines, ensuring all rosters are issued accurately and on time.
- Support other colleagues and/or craft leaders to cover peak activities or team absences as required.
- Support the management teams with projects and reports as required.

What you'll bring:

- Experience of scheduling and demand and supply challenges
- Clear and concise communication skills
- A self-motivated individual with a proactive and flexible approach
- Strong negotiation and influencing skills.
- Outstanding administrative and organisational skills
- Excellent attention to detail, with the ability to juggle multiple tasks and prioritise

- Keen interest in Sky’s output
