Brand Production Manager - Up to £50k

Grind is a coffee company that lives in London. Since opening Shoreditch Grind in 2011, we've expanded across London with cafés, coffee trucks and a state-of-the-art coffee roastery. Today, we serve millions of cups of coffee across London and the UK each year, and we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people make better, more sustainable coffee at home. You’ll find our coffee beans, compostable coffee pods and ready-to-drink coffee cans - in supermarkets across the UK and in hotels around the world.
Based in Shoreditch, we have a team of talented people working on everything from product development to finance, to customer experience. We’re looking for someone to join our growing team and help us in building the future of Grind.

We think coffee can be a force for good. Whether it's through creating the UK's first compostable coffee pods, our plastic-free packaging or carbon-free shipping - we're on a mission to be the world's most sustainable coffee company.
In 2023, we created our charity, the Better Coffee Foundation, to undo the damage done by the global coffee industry - in our first year, we recovered 43 million pods' worth of ocean-bound plastic. We are looking for a highly organised and proactive Brand Production Manager to join the Brand team. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role that sits at the centre of creative delivery, supporting the day-to-day coordination of campaigns, content production, external collaborations, and project workflows.

Reporting into the Head of Creative Operations, this role will own the operational delivery of photo and video shoots, manage production timelines and approvals, and help ensure campaigns and content move smoothly from briefing through to final delivery.

• Oversee shoot operations on set, managing timings, setup, call sheets, production coordination, and day-of logistics to ensure shoots run smoothly and efficiently while supporting the wider creative team.

Asset management:

• Manage post-production workflows, coordinating asset delivery, feedback rounds, approvals, amends, and final sign-off across creative projects to ensure content is delivered accurately and on time.
• Coordinate the operational delivery of external collaborations and licensed partnerships, managing approvals, feedback cycles, asset sharing, timelines, and communication between internal teams and external partners to ensure projects progress smoothly and deadlines are met.

Project trafficking:

• Coordinate the day-to-day movement of briefs, projects, and campaign requirements through Asana, acting as a key link between channel teams and creative delivery to ensure work progresses smoothly and blockers or risks are flagged proactively.
• Support seasonal campaigns and brand activity through project tracking, stakeholder communication, and reviewing incoming briefs for clarity, completeness, and alignment to agreed workflow requirements.
