Toronto, Ontario, Canada Tendril Studio Full time

About Us:

Tendril exists to amplify the genius of ambitious brands. We help category leaders, innovators, and creators bring their ideas to life through multi-dimensional brand expression — extending brands across motion, sound, toolkits and design systems. Our work enables people to truly see, understand, and appreciate the craft, thinking, and intent behind complex products, platforms, and worlds that might otherwise be missed.

About You:

The Head of Production oversees the health, performance, and evolution of Tendril's production ecosystem. They balance delivery excellence, financial performance, team wellbeing, and studio-wide production standards. Rather than managing projects directly, they design the systems that enable success; defining structure, workflows, and guardrails so Producers can thrive. This role focuses on identifying patterns, anticipating pressure points, and driving systemic solutions that elevate how the studio delivers creative work.

The Opportunity:

  • Lead the health, performance, and evolution of Tendril's production function in alignment with studio strategy and goals
  • Define and refine production standards, workflows, and rhythms to ensure consistent, efficient delivery across all projects
  • Champion delivery excellence; balancing creative ambition, commercial performance, and team wellbeing
  • Own studio-level margin health and use data insights to guide forecasting, resourcing, and profitability decisions
  • Spot systemic risks early and intervene proactively to protect delivery integrity and team sustainability
  • Partner with Executive Producers, Sales, and Creative Leadership to ensure projects are scoped, sold, and set up for success
  • Shape the Production team's organizational structure, roles, and career pathways to build long-term capability and growth
  • Lead hiring, mentorship, and development of Producer's talent, fostering a calm, credible, and high-performing team culture
  • Establish clear escalation paths and decision frameworks that empower Producers and improve communication flow
  • Represent production at the leadership level, contributing operational insight to strategic and creative planning

Come Prepared to Talk about:

  • Your experience managing a team and helping scale their growth
  • How you've approached building and evolving a production function that balances creative quality, efficiency, and profitability
  • How you've collaborated with Creative Directors, Executive Producers, and Managing Directors to align operational, creative, and business priorities
  • How you've identified systemic pressure points before they've become crises, and examples of mitigating risk across multiple projects

The duties and responsibilities are subject to change at the discretion of management.  If you have the skills and experience required for this position, please forward your resume to jobs

We thank you for your interest; however, only candidates selected for interviews will be contacted for follow-up.
