Location manager

Location managers find and manage the real-world places where films and shows are shot. The work involves scouting locations, securing permissions and permits, coordinating logistics on site, managing relationships with property owners and communities, and ensuring shoots run smoothly at each location.

They work for film and TV productions. The role suits resourceful, personable, organised people who can find the right places, navigate permissions and logistics, manage owners and neighbours diplomatically, handle problems on site, and combine an eye for location with the practical and people skills to make filming there actually happen.
