Prop Manager information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a prop manager?

To thrive as a Prop Manager, you need knowledge of theatre production processes, organization, budgeting, and a background in stagecraft or related fields. Familiarity with inventory management systems, basic carpentry tools, and safety certifications are typically used in the role. Creativity, attention to detail, and strong communication help manage prop logistics and collaborate with directors and crew. These skills ensure that productions run smoothly, props are safe and appropriate, and creative visions are realized on stage or screen.

What are some common challenges a prop manager faces when coordinating with multiple departments during a production?

Prop Managers often juggle requests from directors, designers, and actors while ensuring that props meet artistic vision, safety standards, and logistical deadlines. Balancing these demands requires strong communication skills and adaptability, as last-minute changes are common and can impact the overall flow of production. Effective Prop Managers build strong relationships with set designers, stage managers, and technical crews to anticipate needs, solve problems quickly, and keep the production running smoothly.

What is a prop manager?

Prop Managers, also known as property managers, are professionals responsible for overseeing and managing real estate properties on behalf of owners. Their duties typically include handling tenant relations, collecting rent, coordinating maintenance and repairs, and ensuring the property complies with relevant laws and regulations. They act as the main point of contact between property owners and tenants and often manage multiple properties at once. Prop Managers help maximize the value of real estate investments by maintaining high occupancy rates and addressing issues promptly.

Prop Team Shift Lead

Physical Intelligence

San Francisco, CA • On-site

Full-time

Posted 12 days ago

Job description

Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world. We are a group of engineers, scientists, roboticists, and company builders developing learning algorithms to create a model that will control any robot to do any task.
The Team
"Props" are the physical objects that robots interact with - the items a robot manipulates, or that sit in the background of a scene - during data collection and research work. The Prop Team keeps the right objects staged, tracked, and available so that collection can run smoothly. This role leads the team's hourly staff and manages the flow of incoming prop requests across the team's areas of work, making sure each request is fulfilled reliably.
In This Role You Will
  • Direct the Request Queue & Upkeep Work: Assign incoming and recurring prop requests across the shift, unblock people, and keep the queue moving so it clears within its service-level targets. Direct recurring upkeep work including central inventory management, staging stations, and labeling and QR-coding bins. Occasionally step in hands-on when the team is short-staffed or a request is time-sensitive - the exception, not the rule.
  • Lead & Manage the Team: Manage a team of people across all our shifts. Run check-ins and coaching, facilitate trials for prospective new team members, manage time cards, and coordinate with the staffing vendor/agency.
  • Audit & Coordinate: Audit the work of Prop Team members against the queue, coordinate with the operations leads and researchers who submit prop requests, and deliver feedback and requirements on tooling - flagging gaps as they surface.
  • Maintain Cross-Shift Continuity: Review incoming shift handover notes and set priorities at the start of each shift; write the handover note for the incoming shift at the end. Vary your hours across the week (Mon-Fri) to check in with all shift teams.
  • Execute the Process: Own execution of the team's concept of operations - its day-to-day process playbook. Designing and building that process is owned by the Props Program Lead.

What you'll bring
  • Experience managing, scheduling, and motivating an hourly, shift-based workforce (people-management experience strongly preferred).
  • A responsible, detail-oriented, organized, and high-ownership approach; comfortable operating against standard operating procedures that are still being iterated on.
  • Clear communication skills, including the ability to work with researchers and the operations team when there are questions about the process.
  • Comfort with directing work and managing people as the primary job, stepping into hands-on tasks only as needed.
  • For an otherwise strong candidate without formal people-management experience, we would want an explicit development plan in place before hiring, so the expectations of the role are clear and the person is set up to grow into them.

Nice to have
  • Experience with inventory management, staging/logistics, or physical operations.

Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
