Creative Operations Manager

We're so happy you're here! Thank you for checking our job out and we hope to have the chance to meet you in our interview process!

About The Role

We're looking for a Creative Operations Manager to be the essential connective tissue between our creative team and the rest of the organization. In this role, you'll build and maintain the systems that allow our creative team to focus on what they do best—creating exceptional work—by ensuring clarity, alignment, and efficiency throughout the creative process. You'll own the intake process, manage project timelines, coordinate stakeholder feedback, and identify opportunities to streamline workflows. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on bringing order to creative chaos while maintaining the flexibility needed in a fast-paced environment. This position represents a critical investment in our creative infrastructure as we scale, and reports directly to our Director, Creative Strategy.

This role is part of our remote HQ! We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a bi-annual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.

In this role, you will:

• Own and manage the creative intake process to reduce ambiguity, triage requests, and establish clear priorities
• Assign tasks to appropriate team members and ensure timelines are adhered to, freeing creative talent from administrative tracking
• Review briefs for completeness and coordinate stakeholder alignment to prevent rework and maintain creative momentum
• Build and maintain comprehensive creative project calendars for both evergreen content and campaign work
• Improve visibility across creative collaboration and proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks
• Establish a centralized project management system with clear workflows for briefs, approvals, revisions, and launches
• Streamline cross-functional collaboration between Creative, Growth, Brand, and Product teams
• Track project status and resource allocation across static, video, UGC, and production initiatives
• Support project coordination for high-impact launches and special initiatives
• Continuously refine processes to reduce time from brief to launch without sacrificing quality
  
  

We're looking for someone who:

• Has 4-5 years of project management experience, with at least 2-3 years specifically in creative project management or operations within a high-growth brand, agency, or in-house creative team
• Has worked directly with designers, editors, and marketing stakeholders
• Is proficient with Asana (or equivalent project management tool), Air (or equivalent DAM), and Google Drive
• Knowledge of Figma, Adobe Suite, and Canva, including file export capabilities and management
• Is a systems-thinker who sees chaos as an opportunity to create structure, while remaining scrappy and resourceful enough to work effectively with limited systems, challenge inefficient processes, and find creative solutions to drive results
• Takes ownership of process improvements by implementing, owning, and optimizing creative workflow tools and systems, while confidently recommending new approaches to improve team efficiency and collaboration
• Anticipates problems before they surface and proactively addresses them
• Demonstrates exceptional organization skills while maintaining flexibility to adapt to changing priorities
• Communicates proactively and effectively to unblock teams before being asked
• Thrives in a fast-moving, brand-led environment where every day brings new challenges
• Balances attention to detail with big-picture strategic thinking
  
  

To Apply: Please enter your info and share a bit about yourself with us below. We ask that you do not use Chat GPT or similar tools to answer these questions, as it is our hope to genuinely get to know you and the way you communicate and think! We do love integrating these tools into our work though, and you'll hear plenty more about that if you join us.

A bit about us...

At Grüns, we believe that foundational nutrition should be simple and convenient for everyone. We're dedicated to bringing comprehensive and real nutrition to you through our gummies, formulated from 60 nutrient-dense and whole-food ingredients. Simply enjoy a grab-and-go snack pack of gummies daily whenever fits best in your schedule and wherever life takes you.

Like you, we were disappointed. There's an infinite number of "nutrition" companies, all focused on what's best for them — not what's best for you. Hundreds of products to sell you on, low-quality ingredients, and small nutrient doses. We've seen it all.

So we decided it was time to fix it. No more choking on and popping pills like a pharmacy. No more clean-up and disgust from gross powders. And no more cobbling together handfuls to dozens of supplements. Grüns is comprehensive nutrition, made convenient and delicious.

What we care about...

Autonomy: Only the best work at Grüns. We're all confident, independent leaders. We are proactive. We find opportunities for improvement. Don't ask; just do. When our actions impact other areas of the organization, we communicate with those functional leaders to ensure connectivity.

Growth: We love to take on new challenges, learn new things, and express interest in new functions. "I've never done this before" is not an excuse; it's an opportunity.

Community: We care deeply about each other. We're good humans and provide support wherever we can. We care, not just professionally but personally as well.

Compensation & Perks:

For every role, we aim to have highly competitive compensation and opportunity for impact and career growth.

Everyone at Grüns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family, generous PTO, free Grüns subscriptions, and a few more perks centered around health and well-being that we can't wait to tell you about!
