About BALLADS OF LOVE

BALLADS OF LOVE is a premium wedding photography and filmmaking company specialising in photography, cinematography, and creative visual storytelling.

We are looking for a responsible, highly organised, proactive, and hands-on Operations Assistant / Junior Operations Manager to join our Bangalore team.

This is a full-time operational role, not an internship. The person will work closely with management, photographers, cinematographers, editors, vendors, and clients to ensure that wedding projects and day-to-day company operations run smoothly.

This position involves working in the wedding industry, where working hours can vary depending on wedding schedules.

The role may require:

• Late-night and early-morning operational work during wedding events.
• Coordinating midnight data copy and data management requirements.
• Preparing, checking, arranging, and collecting photography and cinematography equipment.
• Arranging equipment according to specific client/event requirements.
• Coordinating equipment handovers with photographers and cinematographers.
• Occasional travel within Bangalore and nearby locations.
• Client album, hard-drive, and project-material deliveries and collections.
• Working outside normal office hours when an event or operational requirement demands it.
• Being available for urgent operational requirements when necessary.

Key Responsibilities

Office & Operations

• Manage day-to-day office operations and administrative requirements.
• Coordinate daily tasks between management and different departments.
• Maintain project schedules, records, documents, checklists, and pending tasks.
• Follow up with team members to ensure tasks are completed on time.

Wedding Operations

• Coordinate with photographers, cinematographers, editors, vendors, and other team members.
• Prepare equipment according to the requirements of each wedding assignment.
• Check equipment before and after assignments.
• Coordinate equipment allocation, collection, and returns.
• Assist in managing wedding logistics, travel, schedules, and team requirements.
• Ensure photographers and cinematographers have the required equipment and materials before assignments.

Data & Project Management

• Coordinate data-copy requirements after wedding assignments.
• Assist with late-night data-copy operations when required.
• Maintain proper records of cards, hard drives, and project data.
• Ensure project materials are properly labelled, organised, and handed over.
• Coordinate with the editing and post-production teams regarding project requirements.

Client & Vendor Coordination

• Communicate with clients through calls, WhatsApp, and email.
• Coordinate album, hard-drive, and other project deliveries and collections.
• Follow up with vendors and external service providers.
• Assist management with client and operational requirements.

Management Support

• Assist management with day-to-day business operations.
• Take ownership of assigned responsibilities.
• Identify operational issues and find practical solutions.
• Maintain confidentiality of company, client, and project information.
• Ensure tasks are completed accurately and within deadlines.

Requirements

• Candidates must currently be based in Bangalore.
• Candidates must be willing to work full-time from our Bangalore office.
• Must be comfortable with late-night / early-morning work when wedding operations require it.
• Must be comfortable handling and arranging photography and cinematography equipment.
• Must be willing to travel within Bangalore for office, wedding, client, and delivery-related requirements.
• Good communication and organisational skills.
• Basic knowledge of Excel, Google Workspace, or MS Office.
• Ability to multitask and work under pressure.
• Responsible, punctual, proactive, and dependable.
• Must be comfortable taking instructions as well as working independently.
• A valid driving licence and ability to travel independently will be an advantage.
• Freshers with the right attitude are welcome to apply.

What We Offer

• Full-time employment, not an internship.
• Salary of ₹15,000 – ₹20,000 per month, depending on experience and suitability.
• Hands-on experience in wedding photography business operations.
• Exposure to real wedding projects and large-scale event coordination.
• Direct interaction with photographers, cinematographers, editors, clients, and management.
• Training in equipment coordination, project management, client servicing, and business operations.
• Opportunity to grow into a higher-level Operations Manager / Project Manager role based on performance.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is dependable, disciplined, energetic, organised, and willing to take responsibility.

This is not a desk-only administrative position. You will be involved in the actual day-to-day operations of a professional wedding photography and filmmaking company — from preparing equipment and coordinating teams to handling late-night data-copy requirements, client deliveries, project materials, and urgent operational tasks.

If you are looking for a long-term career in operations, project management, administration, or business management within the creative and wedding industry, this could be the right opportunity for you.
