[Hiring] Director, Brand & Creative Operations @Granum

Role Description

Run the creative function day to day so that brand and creative output ships on deadline and at a consistent standard — without the EVP acting as the bottleneck. The EVP owns brand direction and holds the creative pen on high-stakes work; this role organizes the team, enforces the standard, manages the people, and executes. It is an operator's seat: part player, mostly coach.

Core Responsibilities

• Own creative intake, prioritization, and deadlines across every channel, so nothing stalls waiting on the EVP.
• Manage and develop the Lead Creative and the freelance roster; set expectations, give feedback, and hold the team to delivery.
• Build and maintain creative systems — Figma component libraries, templates, and brand-asset governance so quality scales without bespoke effort every time.
• Act as guardian of brand consistency — enforcing the EVP's standard across departments and catching drift before it ships.
• Partner cross-functionally with demand generation, product, events, and partnerships to translate their needs into creative that lands on time.
• Stay hands-on on tier-1 work — roughly 30% of the role is producing in Figma, not just directing.
• Drive adoption of AI creative tooling to lift team throughput.

Qualifications

• Advanced Figma — building systems and component libraries, not just finished deliverables.
• Proven management of a creative team, plus real project/traffic management under high volume.
• Demonstrated record of organization and on-time delivery across competing priorities.
• Comfortable operating as a strong second to a senior leader who holds brand direction — confident running the function, not fighting to own the strategy.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience standing up or overhauling a creative-operations function.
• Background spanning both in-house and agency environments.
• Fluency with AI-assisted design and production workflows.

What Success Looks Like

Within the first two quarters: creative requests move through a clear intake and prioritization system, deadlines are met without escalation, the Lead Creative and freelancers are managed and productive, brand consistency holds across departments, and the EVP is freed from day-to-day creative traffic to focus on higher-leverage work.
