You’ll work closely with Brand Marketing, Product Marketing, Content, Growth, Events and our web development team.

What you’ll do:

• Manage end to end production of brand creative across integrated campaigns, content, events, paid media, partner programs and the website

• Manage production logistics for brand media, including out of home, event and sponsorship specs, asset trafficking and vendor deadlines
• Run Brand’s design work on website projects, including timelines, reviews and design QA, with clean handoffs to our web development and growth teams
• Manage freelance and agency partners for paid and digital creative so output stays consistent in quality and on brand
• Manage timelines and deliverables for brand led programs like brand evolution work and brand activations
• Keep improving how we work as volume grows, from templates and asset libraries to retros after every major launch

What we're looking for:

• 5-7+ years of experience in creative production, creative operations or program management for brand and marketing work, in house or at an agency
• Experience producing high volume work across many formats, including campaigns, paid media, events and experiential, video, print and web
• A network of production partners and freelancers, and experience managing them from scoping and estimates to delivery
• Hands on video and photo production experience, including on set
• Experience building and owning project management tools like Asana, Jira or Airtable, and processes people actually use
• Strong budget discipline and comfort negotiating with vendors
• Clear, calm communication with stakeholders at every level, including when the answer is no or not yet
• An eye for craft, and the judgment to protect quality while keeping work moving
• High agency and high urgency, with strong follow through across many projects at once
• Experience at a fast growing tech company with a high output brand team
