Touring Administrator

In a world of noise, we find the signal — the pulse of potential. We weave the strands of talent, vision, and purpose into organizations that endure. Blending intelligence with intuition, we honor the human art of connection at the heart of every great company.
About the Job
Signal & Strand is partnering with a premier entertainment production company supporting one of the most recognized comedians in the world. This organization produces large-scale domestic and international tours alongside film, television, and digital projects.
We are seeking a seasoned Touring Administrator to take ownership of touring operations, negotiations, and logistics at the highest level. This is not a task-based coordinator role — it is a strategic leadership position responsible for ensuring tours run profitably, efficiently, and without friction.
This individual will operate as the central architect of touring execution, allowing the artist to focus solely on performance while the business and operational side runs seamlessly.
The Mandate
Lead and optimize all aspects of domestic and international touring — from negotiation and deal structuring to logistics, financial oversight, and team leadership — ensuring world-class execution and long-term strategic growth.
Key Responsibilities
Architect and execute comprehensive touring strategies to maximize ticket sales, profitability, and operational efficiency
Lead all venue, promoter, vendor, and subcontractor negotiations, securing favorable financial and contractual terms
Build and cultivate strategic relationships with promoters, booking agents, venue owners, production vendors, and industry stakeholders
Oversee tour logistics including travel, accommodations, routing, transportation, security, and regulatory compliance
Develop and manage tour budgets, monitor P&L performance, and ensure strong financial controls
Supervise sound, lighting, production, ticketing, and marketing partners to ensure best-in-class live event execution
Lead and manage touring teams, maintaining strong communication across calls, written correspondence, and in-person meetings
Proactively anticipate challenges, implement contingency plans, and manage issues in real time
Handle sensitive negotiations, contracts, and financial information with discretion and professionalism
Ideal Profile
6+ years of experience in tour management, live event production, or entertainment operations, preferably in comedy or large-scale touring
Demonstrated success negotiating venue contracts, promoter agreements, and vendor deals
Strong command presence with exceptional written and verbal communication skills
Strategic relationship builder with deep promoter and venue networks
Financially fluent with experience managing touring P&L, budgets, revenue splits, and contract structures
Highly organized and detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple concurrent tour elements
Calm and decisive under pressure, capable of making executive-level decisions mid-tour
Strong leadership presence with the ability to command authority while maintaining professionalism
Deep understanding of venue booking strategy, talent agency dynamics, and global touring best practices
