This post is through the RESET paid placement programme which offers 8 months traineeships for new entrants and emergent talent in Animation, Games and VFX related studios. In addition to working at ISO, you will receive personal development and professional training through TRC Media and join a cohort of other trainees.

This is a great opportunity to gain insight into the operational management of a busy creative studio.

This role is all about supporting the efficient running of projects and studio resources, with a particular focus on staff and freelancer scheduling.
