About Us
Our missionis to provide a creative home that inspires artists to express themselves freely and fearlessly.
The WhereHouse Creative Studio and CloseUp Crew Productions are creative businesses built for actors, artists, and storytellers. We provide self-tapes, photography, coaching support, and premium studio rentals in a space designed to feel elevated, welcoming, and creatively inspiring.
Our clients range from working actors and creatives to production teams and photographers, and we’ve built our reputation on professionalism, hospitality, attention to detail, and an exceptional client experience.
We are a small but rapidly growing team looking for someone who is proactive, emotionally intelligent, highly organized, and genuinely takes pride in creating beautiful, seamless experiences for others.
The Role

Beyond daily operations, you'll play an active role in helping grow the business by taking ownership of special projects, launching new initiatives, and turning ideas into reality.

- Hospitality-minded with excellent people skills
- Visually aware with a strong aesthetic sensibility
- Able to anticipate problems before they happen
- Excited by ownership and growth
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Client Experience & Hospitality
- Welcome and support clients onsite with professionalism and warmth
- Ensure every client experience feels organized, elevated, and seamless
- Handle scheduling adjustments, day-of changes, and client communication with confidence and efficiency
- Act as the primary onsite point person during rentals, self-tapes, and studio sessions
- Resolve issues quickly and calmly while maintaining a high standard of service
Studio Operations
- Maintain the cleanliness, presentation, and readiness of all studio spaces
- Oversee inventory, supplies, hospitality items, and operational systems

- Support opening/closing procedures and independently manage shifts
Creative Support
- Assist with self-tape sessions including lighting, framing, and basic editing
- Maintain strong visual standards throughout the studio
- Support the overall creative presentation and client-facing aesthetic of the business
Team & Business Growth Support
· Work closely with ownership to improve daily operations, client experience, and business performance.
- Help implement systems and workflows that increase efficiency, organization, and customer satisfaction.
- Take initiative, solve problems proactively, and assume ownership rather than waiting to be directed.
- Support business development by identifying opportunities, contributing ideas, and helping bring new projects from concept to execution.
- Take ownership of special projects that help drive the next phase of our company's growth.
Who You Are
You'll thrive in this role if you:
- Naturally notice details others miss and take pride in creating polished, welcoming environments.
- Are resourceful, proactive, and the kind of person who instinctively figures things out.
- Communicate with warmth, professionalism, and confidence.
- Enjoy balancing hospitality, operations, and creative work in a fast-paced environment.
