🎙 The Podcast is Coming Back!

I've been working really hard behind the scenes, interviewing some amazing guests for Season 2 of the Motion Hatch Podcast. So keep your eyes peeled on our Instagram and LinkedIn for upcoming announcements.

I've also been working with an amazing designer to help freshen up our podcast branding. Exciting stuff!

Now, if you can't wait, here's a great past episode for you to listen to. This is my 100th podcast episode, in which I share Motion Hatch's origin story and all the lessons I've learned from turning my side hustle into my full-time job.



📣 We're Hiring a Project Assistant!

We are looking for an enthusiastic and driven Operations /Project Assistant to join our team. This would be a freelance role to start with, split between operational duties and helping our community and students thrive!

Requirements:

  • Previous experience as a Project Coordinator/ Project Manager/ Studio Manager or Executive Assistant or similar for a creative company such as an agency/animation studio/motion design studio / graphic design studio, or online business would be a bonus!

  • Experience managing projects from concept to completion.
  • Overly detail-oriented, good communication & project management skills.
  • Must be located in the UK or available for 9 am meetings in UK time -Remote Work.

What I’m looking for: An individual eager to expand their skillset and become a permanent member of the Motion Hatch team.

I'm not looking to work with anyone who wants to stay on the creative tools; I’m looking for someone who loves systems and organisation.

What I’m open to: I recognise there may be someone out there with little experience but who wants to pivot into this kind of role. If you’re excited to work with us and you make a strong case, then we can definitely talk!

How am I doing with Motion Hatch? I'd love to hear if this newsletter, my social media content, and YouTube videos are helping you in your career. Is there anything you're seeing too much of? Is there anything you'd like to see more of?
