ABOUT SPACE DIGITAL
Based at MediaCityUK in Salford, Space Digital is an award-winning VFX and production studio working on some of the UK’s most talked-about TV dramas. From Netflix originals to ITV primetime, we deliver the kind of visual effects that enhance a story without ever pulling focus – the work that makes everything feel real.
We’re a close-knit, ambitious team that’s proud of what we make. And right now, with a strong pipeline of productions in progress and more on the way, we’re growing.
THE ROLE
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their career to get hands-on experience at a busy, award-winning VFX studio -working right at the heart of production. As a Production Assistant, you’ll be reporting to our VFX Leadership team, supporting the day-to-day running of productions and helping keep everything moving.
No two days are exactly the same; you might be tracking budgets in the morning, coordinating a new hire induction in the afternoon, and making sure the right people have the right information by end of play. It’s a varied, fast-moving role for someone who loves to be organised, is quick on their feet, and genuinely cares about doing things well.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- Providing day-to-day administrative support across assigned productions, keeping tasks on track and within budget
- Monitoring daily budgets and flagging anything that might affect schedules or deliveries
- Acting as a key liaison across all activities relating to your assigned production(s)
- Supporting producers and the wider production team with scheduling, communications and coordination
- Helping to create and maintain production schedules as directed
- Managing distribution lists and keeping contact information up to date
- Coordinating new hire onboarding and inductions with key stakeholders
- Handling ad hoc bookings including accommodation and shoot logistics
- Taking accurate notes in meetings when required
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- A clear, confident communicator – written and verbal
- A natural problem-solver who looks for solutions rather than obstacles
- Positive, proactive and a real team player
- Able to juggle competing priorities without dropping the ball
- A basic understanding of the VFX pipeline (or a genuine enthusiasm to learn)
- Comfortable working collaboratively with artists, producers and support teams
- Sharp attention to detail
- Confident in Excel
- Self-motivated, with the initiative to resolve issues independently
- Reliable, punctual and well-organised
WHY SPACE?
- Work on high-end TV dramas for major broadcasters and streaming platforms
- Based at MediaCityUK – one of the UK’s most vibrant creative hubs
- A growing studio with a strong, consistent pipeline of work
- A close-knit team that values craft, collaboration and storytelling
- Real variety and responsibility from day one
