The Role

Livingroom Studios is seeking a proactive, systems-minded, highly organized, detail-oriented Studio Manager to oversee daily operations of our world-class premium boutique recording studio. The candidate will help define, implement, and optimize the studio's backend systems, workflows, and team operations, before maintaining and evolving them long-term.

You'll work closely with studio leadership and creative teams to build internal structures that support a seamless client experience, empower the staff, and enhance operational efficiency. A deep understanding of music industry dynamics, high-level client relations and hospitality is essential.

2. Studio Operations and Workflow Management

● Act as the central point of contact for clients, team members, and contractors.

● Align operational output with the Studio Director, Artist Relations and Head Engineer, to support creative goals.


3. Financial Oversight

● Work closely with Studio Business Admin Manager across studio budgets, accounts payable/receivable, and payroll processing.

● Ensure timely invoicing, payments, and contractor coordination.

● Maintain accurate financial records and provide reports for management.

4. Scheduling and Coordination

● Manage and Advance studio bookings, client session schedules, and staff assignments.

● Coordinate with engineers, producers, and other staff to ensure optimal utilization of studio time and resources.

● Monitor and maintain an up-to-date calendar, nimble with adjustments, proactively handle any scheduling conflicts as they arise.

5. Inventory Management

● Create and maintain an accurate inventory system for gear and instruments.

● Work with engineering to ensure equipment upkeep and servicing.

● Due diligence on most optimal studio tracking platforms for logging usage, repairs, and gear acquisition plans.

6. Team Management

● Work closely with the creative team to schedule sessions and address client needs.

● Establish onboarding and coordination systems for staff, freelancers, and external collaborators.

● Facilitate clear communication between departments to ensure aligned, efficient operations.

7. Client Liaisons

● Work closely with Artist Relations to facilitate a high level of service advancing sessions

● Provide high-touch client services and hospitality to artists, labels, and creative collaborators, by working closely with relevant LR departments (engineering, tech, hospitality)

Requirements

● Proven experience in artist management, studio/tour operations, project management, or similar roles in music and entertainment.

● Track record of building systems and operational frameworks — not just managing existing ones.

● Comfortable working in (and occasionally creating) tools like Sonido, StudioSuite, Airtable, POS systems like Stripe, Square, and Toast, or similar scheduling/accounting/inventory platforms.

● Financial fluency — budgeting, invoicing, forecasting, and working with finance departments.
