Director Creative Operations Jobs in Worcester, MA

Job Title: Senior Creative Operations Manager
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Creative Operations Manager to serve as the orchestrator of our creative and marketing initiatives. You will be the primary point of accountability for managing the end-to-end lifecycle of complex, cross-channel projects-ensuring that our digital, social, print, and motion graphic assets are delivered on time, on brand, and in alignment with business objectives.
This is a senior-level role for a "process expert" who excels at navigating the creative process. You will bridge the gap between stakeholder vision and production execution, removing barriers, negotiating priorities, and maintaining project clarity in high-pressure environments. If you are a self-starter who thrives on organization and has a passion for streamlining complex workflows, this is an excellent opportunity to own the "big picture" of creative delivery.
Key Responsibilities
Creative Project Oversight
• End-to-End Management: Oversee the full project lifecycle, from initial brief and milestone definition to creative development, approval rounds, and final delivery.
• Integrated Workload Management: Successfully juggle a high volume of concurrent projects across various channels, including digital, social, e-commerce, print, and video.
• Creative Alignment: Ensure all creative outputs remain aligned with the strategic vision. Review and QA content throughout the process to guarantee quality, consistency, and adherence to project specifications.
Leadership & Facilitation
• Stakeholder Coordination: Lead team meetings with cross-functional partners and management. Facilitate workflow, capture feedback, and hold teams accountable for action items.
• Priority Management: Proactively identify bottlenecks or scope creep. Use independent judgment to navigate challenges, remove obstacles, and provide actionable recommendations to senior management for problem resolution.
• Process Advocacy: Act as a diplomat for the creative process. Negotiate timelines and project needs across departments to ensure the team can deliver results despite tight time constraints.
Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
• Experience Baseline: Minimum of five (5) years of experience in creative project management, traffic management, or agency-side production.
• Channel Mastery: Proven ability to manage integrated workflows across print, social media, web, and video/motion production.
• Systems Proficiency: Experience with modern project management/workflow software (e.g., Workfront, Asana, Monday.com, or similar).
• Communication: Exceptional diplomacy and interpersonal skills-the ability to influence and lead without always having direct authority.
Preferred Attributes
• Strong track record of working in a corporate advertising or high-output creative agency environment.
• Deep understanding of "Creative Ops"-the ability to balance the creative process with business timelines.
• A "resourceful" mindset: You don't just identify barriers; you build the roadmap to overcome them.
