Creative Systems & Optimization Manager

You are...

• Impeccably organized, with an eye for detail that doesn't slow you down.
• Fluent in paid social media channels, growth funnels, and performance marketing
• An empowered self-starter with strong time, people, and stakeholder management instincts.
• A confident negotiator on time, scope, budget, and resources - comfortable pushing back when a request doesn't match the studio's capacity.
• A systems thinker who'd rather design the framework than just manage what runs through it.
• An AI power-user: you build and maximize automation proactively, a self-starter obsessed with efficiency rather than waiting to be told what to do
• A natural coach, comfortable onboarding, training, and developing freelance creative talent.
• Able to run high volumes of concurrent projects through prioritization and organization under tight deadlines.
• Able to follow through, own, and guide a project from infancy to execution - even when very little is known at the start.
• A fan of working in an ultra-fast-paced environment.
• A creative thinker who uses non-linear approaches and critical thinking to proactively problem-solve and steer projects.
• Willing to challenge assumptions and the status quo in favor of iterative, adaptive change.
• Solution-oriented - you flag and fix problems as they arise, not after the fact.

At a minimum, you have...
