Resourcing & Studio Manager

As the Studio & Resourcing Manager at Evolved you’re the operational heartbeat of the creative team - equal parts people champion, process optimizer, and master scheduler. You’re the ultimate connector, ensuring that work flows seamlessly, the right talent is on the right projects, and our Singapore studio hums with energy, clarity, and purpose.

Sitting at the intersection of people, projects, and process, you’ll lead resourcing strategy, manage daily operations. You’re calm under pressure, tuned into team dynamics, and always thinking two steps ahead - with Scoro dashboards to back your instincts.

This role is about more than just logistics, it’s about creating the conditions for great creative work. You’ll be a trusted partner to producers, designers, and leadership alike, helping shape a studio culture that’s collaborative, curious and creatively ambitious.
