- Centralized Intake Management: Manage and refine the Marketing Request Intake Form process to ensure all cross-departmental requests—from sales decks and conference collateral to high-stakes video production—are captured with clear requirements, source materials, and deadlines.
- Workflow Optimization: Build and maintain scalable workflows that resolve current operational blockers, such as design bandwidth constraints and manual tracking in Jira.
- Resource Planning: Lead capacity planning and resource allocation for the creative team to meet the demands of major company milestones, including the events, multi-market advertising campaigns (Huntsville, Colorado Springs), and recurring metro creative cycles.
- Status & Reporting: Serve as the "single source of truth" for project status, providing transparent reporting to leadership on project velocity, priority levels, and delivery timelines.

Required Skills
- 5+ years of experience in creative operations, project management, or marketing ops, ideally within a high-growth SaaS or defense technology environment.
- A proven track record of implementing project management systems (e.g., Jira, Asana, ) and intake frameworks that reduce "word of mouth" feedback and increase team efficiency.
- An exceptional ability to translate complex technical requirements from Engineers and Data Scientists into actionable creative briefs for Designers and Copywriters.
- Comfortability navigating an "inflection point" environment where priorities can shift rapidly based on major deal pursuits or government budget cycles.
- The ability to see beyond individual tasks to understand how creative operations support macro corporate goals, such as SaaS retention, market differentiation, and IPO positioning.
We firmly believe that past performance is the best indicator of future performance. If you thrive while building solutions to complex problems, are a self-starter, and are passionate about making an impact in global security, we're eager to hear from you.
