After school/Camp coordinator and Studio Manager

Make It Studio

MAKE IT! Studio is a sewing, fashion and crafts studio for kids (with some adult classes). We offer small-group After-School classes and Camps for kids interested in fashion, sewing, crafting, and jewelry-making. Kids work with their hands making fun, creative fashion and craft projects to both wear and decorate their rooms with.

Job Overview

We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Studio Manager to help oversee the day-to-day operations of Make It Studio. This is a hands-on role that combines administrative coordination, parent communication, staffing, event planning, and general studio management.

Schedule:

Approximately 20 hours/week (4 days/week, 1:00–6:00 PM), with occasional daytime hours (8:30 AM–4:00 PM) during school break camps. Hours and days are flexible.

Responsibilities

• Help oversee day-to-day studio operations, ensuring classes and programming run smoothly and the space is organized, prepared for that day’s lesson, and most importantly safe for students and instructors.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for parents and families, responding to questions and communicating important updates both by email and in person.
• Coordinate staffing needs, including scheduling substitute instructors when instructors are absent.
• Onboard new staff members.
• Coordinate and oversee birthday parties and special events, including scheduling, staffing, parent communication, billing, materials, and set up.
• Manage studio inventory, including monitoring stock, placing orders, receiving deliveries, and organizing materials.
• Manage class and camp rosters, ensuring information is up to date and accurate.
• Coordinate with school pickup staff regarding any unexpected changes, such as absences and extra students.
• Handle occasional billing needs including aftercare invoices and coordinating refunds, among other things. We rely on Wix and Squarespace, so any previous experience with these is beneficial.
• Step in to support classes or activities when necessary, particularly in the event of last-minute instructor cancellations or staffing changes. Having a crafty background, or at least an eagerness to learn, is helpful in this case.
• Take on additional organizational and operational projects as needed to keep the studio running efficiently. For example, sourcing new furniture or fabric wholesalers, or helping to organize studio-wide trainings.

Qualifications:

Highly organized, dependable, and able to multitask. Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

Comfortable working with children, families, and staff.

Experience in childcare, education, arts, crafts, sewing, or a creative field is a plus.

Wix, Squarespace, and First Aid experience are a bonus.

This role offers growth potential as Make It Studio continues to expand.
