ABOUT THE ROLE

Realtime is looking for an experienced Senior Creative Operations Manager to join our growing team.

You will partner directly with global brand clients and internal media teams, bringing both strategic direction and hands-on operational discipline to every engagement. If you thrive at the intersection of creativity, technology, and data — and you're energized by scale — this role is for you.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Creative Strategy & Production

• Brief and advise on creative production and best practices for large global brands
• Build creative testing regimes and concept roadmaps for clients, ensuring each program has a clear hypothesis and measurement framework

Trafficking & Deployment

• Assist with proper trafficking and messaging alignment of paid media creative
• Provide QA and approvals on creative trafficking and deployment across all relevant platforms
• Advise on flighting and deployment timings of paid ads creative to maximize impact and efficiency

Technology & Analytics

• Work across generative AI and creative tech tools — including Pixis Adroom — to create, edit, and iterate paid ads creative at scale
• Leverage technology to deliver creative performance and analysis assessments that inform further iteration and testing
• Build and scale Digital Asset Management (DAM) functionalities for Realtime and its clients

Design & Team Leadership

• Guide design teams on the specific paid ads creative requirements for each paid media channel (Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn, programmatic, etc.)
• Manage and collaborate with designers to deliver high-quality, on-brand, platform-optimized creative
• Occasionally provide direct design and editing support as needed

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 3 years of experience working on the creative side of paid media programs
• Demonstrated experience working with large, global brands and navigating the complexity that comes with them
• Experience working with and managing UGC and influencer content development workflows including briefing, onboarding and delivery.
• Deep familiarity with paid ads creative formats and the platform-specific requirements for each (Meta, Google, TikTok, YouTube, programmatic, and more)
• A strong analytical and data-oriented mindset — you know how to read performance and translate it into creative direction
• Experience working in or building large-scale, high-volume creative production environments
• Experience managing or closely collaborating with designers
• Comfort working with creative technology platforms, AI-assisted tools, and DAM systems
• Exceptional organizational skills and an ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
