Job description

Get to Know Us
Ken Grossman started Sierra Nevada in 1980 with a hand-built brewhouse and the odds stacked against him. That passion forever changed the course of American craft brewing and launched a beer revolution that's in full force today. Turns out, good beer can do a lot of good, and Sierra Nevada became a cornerstone for both its innovation and its care for the Earth and its people. We're committed to advancing a culture of inclusion and believe diversity in all its forms makes us stronger. We keep pushing boundaries, whether that's in the brewhouse, with sustainability, or in the great outdoors.
Get to Know This Role
The Creative Operations Manager is responsible for overseeing the planning, resourcing, and execution of all creative work across Sierra Nevada. This role ensures the right mix of in-house talent, freelancers, and vendors are deployed against business priorities to deliver high-quality, on-time creative outputs. Acting as the operational backbone of the creative function, this leader partners closely with creative leadership to translate briefs into actionable project and resource plans, managing workflow, vendor partnerships, budgets, and production timelines. Success in this role requires strong project management skills, vendor and resource oversight, and seamless cross-functional communication to keep creative work moving efficiently and effectively across the organization.
What's In It For You
We're committed to our employees and work hard to prove it. For starters, we're offering $98,279 to $153,315 base compensation for this role. Individual offers are based on skills, experience, and qualifications. This role may be eligible for our bonus program - inquire with our Talent Acquisition Partner for additional details.
But base pay is just the beginning. We support your future by offering a generous 10% company match on 401(k) contributions, providing learning and development opportunities, and fostering your safety at work with ongoing trainings, state-of-the-art equipment, and preventative care. We offer medical, dental, and vision insurance, an onsite medical clinic, as well as mental health and well-being benefits including paid sick leave. We foster a culture of work-life balance and always encourage employees to use and enjoy their paid time off.
What You Will Do
  • Design and maintain master project templates that cascade into tactical content projects, ensuring alignment between strategic initiatives and creative production. Provide clear and regular updates to stakeholders on project status, resourcing, and timelines.

  • Partner with brand managers, innovation managers, and integrated marketing channel leads to clarify project scope, timelines, and resource requirements.
  • Develop and maintain vendor relationships, negotiate estimates, and ensure efficient use of external resources.
  • Maintain visibility into workload and capacity across the creative team, proactively solving for resourcing gaps.
  • Work cross-functionally with compliance, supply chain, quality and brewing to ensure the integrity of our quality control systems and packaging deliverables
  • Lead by example, embracing creative conflict and transforming problems into additive solutions. Develop and deliver a playbook for internal partners on creative processes, timeline requirements and quality expectations
  • Select, supervise, and obtain cost estimates from outside vendors such as photographers, designers, paper suppliers, or printers as needed.
  • Ensure all deliverables meet Sierra Nevada's brand standards and quality benchmarks through strong collaboration with creative leadership and creative contributors
