The role

As a Senior Shoot Producer for NEXT Home, you will oversee the end-to-end execution of our market-leading homeware photo and video shoots.

You will act as the central hub on set, bringing creative concepts to life and ensuring every project is delivered on time, within scope, and to the highest standards. Working closely with our planning teams, technical coordinators, and creative crews, you will make a tangible difference by shaping smooth, collaborative, and highly successful shoots. At NEXT, we will support you from day one, providing you with the tools, environment, and backing you need to confidently lead your team, refine our workflows, and deliver outstanding assets ready for post-production.

- Take full ownership of project budgets, estimating costs, negotiating rates, and managing purchase orders to keep everything on track and profitable.
- Guarantee a secure environment by conducting thorough Health & Safety and risk assessments across all studio and location shoots.
- Mentor and guide junior producers and production assistants, fostering a friendly, one-team mindset where everyone works together to deliver quality results.
- Track our progress by creating weekly shoot reports, keeping stakeholders updated, and constantly looking for ways to improve our production workflows.

What you'll bring

- A thorough understanding of the entire photographic and video production lifecycle, from initial concept and on-set protocols to post-production workflows.
- Strong financial confidence, with a proven track record of capacity planning, resource management, and handling large-scale budgets in a creative studio environment.
- Exceptional organisational and problem-solving skills, allowing you to prioritise a busy workload and keep a cool head in a fast-paced setting.
- Excellent communication and leadership strengths to manage stakeholder expectations, mentor junior team members, and keep everyone aligned.
- A helpful, down-to-earth, and collaborative attitude, maintaining high standards and a positive atmosphere even during the most demanding shoots.
