You'll own the systems, people, and processes that power creative output across packaging, in-store merchandising, and brand-building campaigns—while also evolving the studio beyond day-to-day execution into a best-in-class creative engine. This is a senior leadership role and a true thought-partner position to the company's creative leaders.

Build Scalable Creative Operations

- Establish clear ways of working between Creative, Brand, Sales, RD+E and external partners
- Develop forecasting, capacity planning, and prioritization models to support business growth
- Continuously identify opportunities to improve efficiency without sacrificing creative ambition
Own Production & External Talent
- Lead all creative production efforts, including print, digital, retail, and campaign execution
- Build, hire, and manage a trusted network of freelancers, vendors, and production partners
- Own production budgets, negotiate rates, and ensure cost-effective execution
- Maintain high production standards while scaling output across multiple brands and channels
Be a Thought Partner to Creative Leadership
- Act as a strategic partner to Creative Directors and Brand leads—helping ideas move from concept to reality
- Bring an operational lens to creative development, identifying risks, opportunities, and smarter ways to execute
- Champion creative quality while advocating for clarity, feasibility, and accountability
Lead, Hire & Develop the Team
- Hire, manage, and mentor a high-performing Creative Operations and Project Management team
- Set clear expectations, performance standards, and development paths for direct reports
- Foster a collaborative, solutions-oriented culture that supports creative teams
- Own department budgets and financial planning
What You Will Need
- 12+ years of experience in creative operations, production, or agency leadership
- Proven experience building or scaling an in-house creative team or agency-style operation
- Deep understanding of creative workflows across packaging, retail, and brand campaigns
- Strong production background with hands-on experience managing vendors and freelancers
- Demonstrated success owning budgets and delivering work against cost and timing constraints
- Ability to partner credibly with senior creative leaders while driving operational discipline
- Exceptional organizational, communication, and leadership skills
- Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-growth environments
- Entrepreneurial attitude and bias for quick decision making and action
- Ability to easily flex between strategy, planning and execution
