Studio Manager
Pubblicato il 06-10-2026 - Giga Design Studio in Pavia
Giga is looking for a Studio Manager to take ownership of the studio's operational decisions, with progressive autonomy in client relationships and commercial activity.
As Giga has grown into a multidisciplinary studio (visual identity, digital platforms, interactive installations, consultancy), we need someone who can keep projects moving with clarity, allocate resources with intention, and free the partners from day-to-day operations so they can focus on creative and strategic direction.
The role sits between the partners and the senior team, working across every discipline (visual, digital, interaction, development) without belonging exclusively to any of them.

- You take responsibility for outcomes and hold yourself to the standards you ask of the team.
- You have genuine curiosity for design and technology: Giga works at the intersection of culture, communication and technology, and this role has to care about that context, even without practising it directly.

- Keep client requests inside scope, managing out-of-scope ones.
- Confirm internal alignment before anything reaches a client.
Operational management
- Be the operational po
