Sr. Creative Ops Program Manager
Remote, United Kingdom
Contract 13 Months
The Creative Operations team is the engine that fuels our design projects. Our work encompasses a wide range of deliverable production, including digital campaigns, websites, digital experiences, video, photography, product launches or physical events to showcase our technology.
You will play a pivotal role in supporting our dynamic team, leading the production and delivery of world-class creative assets. It's an outstanding opportunity to work on a variety of exciting projects that showcase our latest technology, including digital campaigns, product launches, and physical events.
This role would suit a Senior Project Manager or organisation-focused Video Producer. This is an operational role rather than a creative role, so we’re looking for someone who loves calendars, spreadsheets and has a superpower for crafting organisation from chaos.

What you'll be doing:
- Lead planning and scheduling for video and photography projects, making sure high-quality assets are delivered promptly for significant events.

- Collaborate closely with Marketing and Creative Account Program Managers to prioritize workloads and align with campaign and launch timelines.
- Develop rock-solid briefs and action plans, building deliverables lists and achievements, and understanding project complexity and language requirements.
- Navigate the creative workflow, identifying necessary actions and schedules to ensure projects run efficiently. Anticipate risks and obstacles, proposing practical solutions to keep schedules and quality on track.
- Ensure assets meet specifications and quality standards, delivering flawless and accurate results.
- Drive continual process improvement by creatively seeking and evolving workflows for greater efficiency and effectiveness.
- Serve as the go-to person accountable for the success of the groups we serve, encouraging trust and a one-team mentality.
What we need to see:
- 6+ years of experience in project management, production, or creative operations within a corporate, studio, or agency environment.
- Demonstrated experience collaborating with video and photography groups. Familiarity with creative, multimedia, and web development processes and file formats.
- Outstanding organizational abilities and meticulous attention to detail, capable of handling multiple simultaneous projects.
- Excellent analytical, resourcing, and project management skills. Ability to work independently and act as a problem solver.
- Outstanding communication skills; clear, professional, and proactive across all channels.
- Comfortable in a fast-paced environment, with the ability to adjust quickly based on changing market and company needs.
- Flexibility to support key events and launches occasionally outside of regular business hours, including evenings and weekends. Willingness and ability to travel occasionally for events and on-site production support.
- Experience with PM software (e.g., Workfront, Trello, Jira).
- Educated to degree level or equivalent experience.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Extensive background in handling video and photography projects and events.
- Familiarity with AI photo and video tools (e.g., Weavy, Narrative, Topaz).
