Zero Overview
Zero is a creative studio founded in NYC. Our intention is to create an environment where multidisciplinary teams can solve problems for progressive and contemporary brands. We aim to constantly re-evaluate what it’s like to work with a studio and provide a high degree of value and service to our clients and our team.
Position Overview
The Studio Coordinator in Milwaukee is a hands-on operations role responsible for the daily care and hospitality of our Milwaukee Studio while also helping the people, tools, and spaces across Zero stay connected and well supported. This person keeps the studio welcoming, functional, and ready for whatever the day requires, while making sure employees have the equipment, software, and operational support they need to do their best work.
Compared with the Level I position based in Brooklyn, this role operates with greater independence and has responsibilities that extend beyond the care of its local studio. The Studio Coordinator Level II supports shared systems and resources across the company and is expected to identify gaps, develop practical solutions, and carry small operational initiatives through completion. Success in the role requires a collaborative, team-first approach and a willingness to help when shared studio or operational needs arise.
