Gather is one of the UK's leading independent hot glass studios, based in Woolwich, London. We're a tight team of three full-time and two part-time people, making handblown glassware, lighting and bespoke commissions for architects, brands and private clients, and running classes that bring hundreds of people through the studio door every year.

We're small, ambitious, and growing fast enough that a Studio Manager has become essential to how we work.

This is an opportunity to become the operational backbone of a creative business at an exciting stage of its growth. You'll work directly with Phoebe, our founder and Creative Director, taking on the parts of the business that currently pull her away from glass design and strategic decisions: client project admin, production and class scheduling, supplier relationships, and some financial admin. The better you get at this job, the better the creative and production team are able to function - that's the real measure of the role's success.

We don't need someone who already knows everything. We need someone sharp enough to learn our world quickly, and keen enough to improve it.

As Gather grows - with lighting as our next major product line - this role has real potential to evolve with it. Done well, it's a genuine path towards a senior operational position, with more scope and more input into how the lighting part of the business develops.

This isn't a design role, and you won't be making glass or developing product. It isn't a strategy role either, though your input will be asked for. Your job is to make it possible for the creative team to do their best work, by making sure the business behind the making is organised, efficient, and reaching its potential.
