StudioBinder allows you to customize default company roles by adding your own crew roles for specialized positions. For example, if your team consistently includes an intimacy coordinator, you can create that role at the company level to add it as a default position. This ensures it’s automatically available whenever you start a new project. Follow along to learn how!

Note: This role will only be accessible in new projects; any projects created prior to the establishment of this role will not receive this update.

Step 1 ⏤ Click your profile

Click on your company name in the top-right corner of the screen.

Step 2 ⏤ Open company settings

From the drop-down, click Company Settings.

Step 3 ⏤ Click company departments

In the Company Profile section, click on Company Departments.

Step 4 ⏤ Select a department

Find the department you want to add a new role to & click on the appropriate category from the company department sidebar.

Step 5 ⏤ Add new position

Click the + New Position button in the top-right corner.

Step 6 ⏤ Enter role details

In the pop-up window, enter the job title and short name, then click Create Position to save.

Step 7 ⏤ Confirm new role

Your custom role will now appear in the department list, ready to be assigned to crew members.

Reminder: This role will be accessible for all new projects. Projects created before this role was established will not receive this update.
