Creative Operations Manager

Our retail client is looking for a Creative Operations Manager! This REMOTE freelance role starts immediately, 40 hours a week, for 5-6 months. 

The Creative Operations Manager will lead the creative development workstream for a full website redesign, owning how design, copy, and content move from brief to concept to final, approved assets. 

Creative Operations Manager Responsibilities:

-Own the creative workback schedule for the website redesign (design, copy, content, UI components), aligning milestones to UX and engineering delivery plans. 

-Build and manage the creative production workflow: intake, briefing, concepting checkpoints, review/approval cycles, version control, and final handoff. 

-Partner with Brand/Creative and UX to ensure briefs translate into on-brand, user-centered creative that supports business goals and key journeys. 

-Lead resourcing and capacity planning for designers, copywriters, and content producers; identify gaps early and recommend tradeoffs. 

-Coordinate creative-to-development handoffs: specs, annotations, component usage guidance, copy decks, asset exports, and content entry requirements for the CMS. 

-Manage agency and freelancer contributions as needed: scopes, briefs, timelines, review cycles, and final deliverable acceptance. 

-Maintain operational artifacts for the creative workstream (creative backlog, status reports, risk/issue tracking) and keep stakeholders informed on progress and decisions. 

-Support QA/UAT from a creative quality perspective (visual QA, content accuracy, brand consistency, accessibility checks) and coordinate revisions through approval. 

Creative Operations Manager Requirements:

-5 years of experience leading large, cross-functional creative or marketing initiatives (multiple workstreams, complex timelines, and significant stakeholder groups). 

-3 years of experience in creative operations, creative project management, integrated production, or a similar role within a brand/creative organization. 

-Demonstrated experience managing creative development for a website redesign or major digital experience (design systems/components, page templates, content, and launch readiness).
