Creative Operations Manager / Creative Project Manager
About Zabota
Zabota is a top-ranked global recruitment firm, recognized as a Top HR Staffing Company by Clutch in 2025. We specialize in helping high-growth U.S. brands build elite, remote-first teams. Our mission is clear: Connect world-class talent from LATAM, Europe, and beyond with the most ambitious companies in the world.
About Our Client
Our client is a performance advertising and creative agency working with consumer brands, producing high-performing creative assets for paid social campaigns, including UGC, static ads, and studio-produced content.
About the Role
We are looking for a highly organized, proactive Creative Operations Manager / Creative Project Manager to own the end-to-end creative production process across multiple brands. You will coordinate creators, editors, graphic designers, and internal stakeholders to ensure deliverables move smoothly from briefing through filming, editing, revisions, approvals, and final delivery.
This is a hands-on operational role for someone who takes ownership of deadlines, anticipates bottlenecks, follows up consistently, and ensures nothing falls through the cracks. Client communication is primarily written, through Slack and similar channels; regular client calls are not required.
The right person will help improve production systems, increase accountability, and ensure high-quality creative is delivered on time. Over time, there may be opportunities to grow into post-production leadership, manage other project managers, or transition into creative strategy.
Responsibilities
- End-to-End Production Management: Own the creative production workflow from briefing through filming, editing, revisions, approvals, and final delivery.
- Creator Management: Coordinate creator sourcing and onboarding, communicate briefs and deadlines, track shipments and production requirements, collect footage, and ensure timely delivery.
- Team Coordination: Manage workflows across two video editors and two graphic designers, ensuring clear assignments, timely feedback, and efficient revisions across multiple brands.
- Deadline and Follow-Up Management: Review open tasks daily, establish clear deadlines, proactively follow up with creators and internal teams, and prevent bottlenecks throughout production.
- Creative Quality Control: Review footage, edits, and designs before client delivery, applying strong creative judgment and ensuring alignment with brand guidelines.
- Written Client Communication: Provide updates, manage approvals, and proactively communicate delays or issues, primarily through Slack. Regular client calls are not required.
