Toronto / Remote / For the rare human who can organize brilliance without ruining it
SIGNA is looking for a Studio Lead who can hold the entire operation together without suffocating the creative fire. Someone who understands how to manage chaos, pressure, deadlines, talent, and clients — all while protecting the signal.
This isn’t project management. This is studio command.
You run the room. You coordinate timelines, teams, deliverables, and creative flow with precision. You protect the designers from noise and protect the work from compromise. You ensure clients feel guided without ever letting them steer the ship. You turn creative volatility into a controlled burn. You’re the spine of the studio. The calm in the storm. The one who makes everything possible.
– Exceptional communication and leadership instincts – Ability to organize high-level creative workflows – Experience managing teams or high-pressure projects – Comfort navigating ambiguity and nonlinear creativity – Taste — you don’t have to design, but you must feel when something’s off – Emotional intelligence with teeth (soft when needed, firm when required)
You’re the person everyone relies on — even if they pretend they don’t. You bring structure without killing momentum. You know how to speak “creative” and “client” simultaneously. You see three steps ahead and prevent problems before anyone notices. When things break, you don’t panic — you rebuild.
A leadership seat in a studio that rewards clarity and decisiveness. A founder who respects your operational mind. A creative team that relies on you like oxygen. Projects that move fast, hit deep, and demand excellence.
Show us where you led, what you built, or the chaos you’ve survived. We don’t care about certificates — we care about proof you can command a room. arash@signa.agency Subject line: STUDIO LEAD
