Creative/Technical Production Assistant (Short Term)

SPAK! Studio is in search of a hands-on production assistant for a short-term project in San Francisco (Oct 6 – Oct 26).

The role is a mix of:

  • “Can you run to the hardware store and grab this part?”

  • “Can you help assemble this machine?”

  • “Can you coordinate a package delivery?”

  • “Can you give some feedback on this design?”

Basically: a little bit of everything to help make something cool, genuinely one-of-a-kind, and culturally relevant in a very unique way come together. We’re a small team (1–2 in SF, 2 remote), and need some extra hands to get this project across the finish line.

What you get:

  • $40/hr, approx. 30 hrs/week for 2–3 weeks

  • Hands-on experience helping build something fun and unusual

  • A front-row seat to how a creative tech project gets made (hint: chaos)

What we’re looking for:

  • Local to San Francisco (or able to be on-site)

  • On-site work will be split between our office in the Mission and warehouse space in Bayview

  • Flexible schedule, generally between 9a–5p (some days may start later or run later, but long hours aren’t expected)

  • Comfortable with a mix of errands, logistics, and hands-on building (with guidance).

This could be a great fit for:

  • A student with a light semester (there’ll be downtime to catch up on schoolwork when you’re not running to the hardware store) or a recent grad

  • Someone with museum or exhibit technician experience

  • A crafty person with production experience in an ad agency or similar environment
