and Studio and Technical Operations Manager

The School of Creative and Cultural Industries is an ambitious, 
forward-looking school, delivering programmes at three of the 
University’s campuses, including the extensive purpose-built facilities 
within the new £81 million Ayr Campus building. These facilities include 
a suite of radio studios, television studios, performance areas, music 
studios and computer laboratories. With Skillset Media Academy Status 
and exciting plans for REF 2014, we are looking now for an outstanding 
individual to join our team in a newly established and significant role 
for the School.

The Studio and Technical Operations Manager will have a broad range of 
responsibilities. As an entirely new commercial enterprise an early 
priority will be to establish the studios, creating and building a 
network of contacts, and you will work in partnership with the Skillset 
Media Academy Manager to develop a marketing strategy in order to meet 
commercialisation and knowledge exchange targets. As well as overseeing 
the specialist facilities, you will balance the commercial aspects of 
the post with optimising the student experience.

You will be highly self-motivated with high level financial planning, 
and a mix of academic, technical and commercial skills and experience. 
You will be able to demonstrate your knowledge of the target markets for 
commercialising the studios, and supporting the provision of the 
Skillset Media Academy, and have proven experience of business 
development including planning and execution of business development 
activity. A degree or equivalent is essential with commitment to CPD, 
plus extensive technical experience.

The post will be based at the Ayr Campus, though you will oversee School 
technical operations at other campuses, and be expected to travel as the 
post requires.
