About the Company
Armada is the hyperscaler for the edge, delivering modular AI infrastructure from first deployment to AI factory with speed, scale and sovereignty. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and to the CNBC Disruptor 50, Armada's solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense.
With nearly $500 million in funding to date, Armada is backed by leading investors including Founders Fund, Lux, BlackRock and Microsoft (M12), alongside strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Dell, Palantir, NVIDIA, SpaceX, and Skydio. We are building the infrastructure layer for sovereign and edge AI - rugged, deployable compute for customers that cannot rely on centralized cloud.
Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You'll tackle challenges that haven't been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada's mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world.
About the Role
Armada is doing things nobody has done before, and successfully telling our story takes a team. As Creative Operations Manager, you are the operational force who keeps that team moving.
Day to day, you're making sure all creative projects stay on track both externally and internally. Milestones, creative development, and vendor/contractor relationships are the gears you keep turning. When we're in production, you shift into a more traditional producing role: assisting with pre-production, building budgets, and running the logistics that keep a shoot on schedule.
You don't need to be an artist yourself, but you do need to have excellent taste. Key to this role is the ability to recognize great talent when hiring contractors and to know when the last round of notes has (or has not) met the mark. You are a critical filter helping to ensure that the Armada brand stays premium.
Ideally you're based in Los Angeles, so you can travel with the Creative Director and support with production gear and on-the-ground logistics.
Please note that this role is a temp-to-hire position. Strong performers will be considered for full-time placement at the end of the contract period. This role is eligible for overtime.
Location: Los Angeles, CA (Remote)
What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

• Own project management for all internal and external creative projects: set timelines, track status, flag risks, and keep every workstream moving
• Source, vet, and manage creative contractors and vendors: photographers, editors, motion designers, illustrators, print production houses, and equipment suppliers
• Produce shoots end-to-end: pre-production planning, budgeting, gear rentals, travel and lodging, on-set logistics, and post-production coordination
• Travel domestically and internationally to support shoots, events, and field productions
• Manage Armada's merch program: vendor relationships, design approvals, quality control, order fulfillment, and ongoing inventory
• Help scope new creative endeavors: research vendors, methods, and costs to take ideas from zero to one

Required Qualifications:

• 8+ years of experience in production, creative operations, or a hybrid producer/project manager role
• Proven ability to run multiple complex projects at once. You hold every commitment, deadline, and detail in your head, and you build systems so you don't have to
• Experience sourcing, hiring, and managing creative contractors and vendors, with a sharp eye for recognizing creative talent
• Comfort building and managing budgets and tracking spend against them
• Hands-on AV knowledge. You can spec a camera package, walk through an audio chain, and understand the gear that goes into a single or multi-camera shoot
• Sharp soft skills. You can manage difficult vendor conversations and stay calm on set when something goes wrong
• Open to travel on short notice, including international and to remote locations

Preferred Qualifications:

• Based in Los Angeles, with the ability to travel with the Creative Director on shoots and assist with gear and on-the-ground production
• Experience at a technology company or startup, ideally in a fast-paced environment with limited existing infrastructure
• Background in commercial, brand, or editorial production
• Comfort working directly with C-level or founder-level creative leadership
• Knowledge of the merch and apparel space, from design approval through fulfillment
