Studio Manager

Our background and your main purpose…

Ruroc exists to make helmets cool. We believe that re-engineering protection with the perfect balance of art and science will make people want to wear our helmets, making them safer and meaning they live longer (and cooler!). In 2019, we had our first £1m turnover day and in 2020 we had our first £1m turnover hour. Ruroc has grown from £1m rev to a £20m+ revenue Action / MotorSports helmet brand selling into over 90 countries globally from its single distribution centre in Gloucester and we are now in an excellent position to build further growth.

All sales take place through Ruroc’s eCommerce store www.ruroc.com giving Ruroc a direct connection to its customers that legacy / competitor brands do not possess. This close connection to the end rider has given us the ability to rapidly innovate and enhance our gear at a rate never seen before in the Global helmet industry.

We control our destiny; we manage everything end-to-end to deliver our promise to customers and fulfil the potential of the Ruroc brand. We are building a world-class team of Product, Brand, Marketing, Customer, Operations, Tech, Finance and Talent/HR People.

We are now looking for a Studio Manager to join our creative team with the focus on overseeing/project managing tasks associated with the creative functions.

A large portion of this position will be based around bad ass workflow, driving our teams to deliver on tight deadlines.
