About the Role
- Job Type: Full Time
- Location: Remote, Canada
- We're looking for a Head of Creative Operations to become Brainrider's operational leader across our global production ecosystem.
- This is not a traditional producer role. This person will own how creative work moves through Brainrider—from intake and scoping through resourcing, studio assignment, workflow, review, QA and final delivery.
- We're looking for someone who enjoys building systems, improving workflows, mentoring teams, and helping multiple studios consistently deliver exceptional work.
- You'll partner closely with our Head of Creative to ensure projects move efficiently from kickoff through final delivery while maintaining Brainrider's standards for quality, communication, and client experience.
- This role is ideal for someone who loves solving operational problems, improving how teams work together, and building scalable production processes within a growing business.
What You'll Do
Creative Operations
- Build and own Brainrider's end-to-end creative delivery model across clients and partner studios.
- Establish clear workflows from intake and scoping through briefing, production, review, QA and delivery.
- Define roles, responsibilities, handoffs and review stages across Brainrider and our studio partners.
- Identify operational gaps and bottlenecks and develop scalable solutions.
- Create playbooks, templates and documentation that establish consistent ways of working.
- Develop operational reporting and metrics to help Brainrider understand capacity, efficiency, delivery performance and areas for improvement.
- Evaluate tools, technology and AI-enabled workflows that can improve how creative work gets delivered.
Studio Operations & Partnerships
- Develop a consistent onboarding model for new studio partners.
- Ensure studios understand Brainrider's processes, client expectations, communication standards and ways of working.
- Help assess studio capabilities and determine where different types of work should be routed.
- Establish mechanisms for sharing learnings and best practices across our studio network.
- Build strong relationships with studio leadership and serve as a senior operational point of contact.
Resourcing & Delivery
- Help develop a scalable approach to resourcing work across Brainrider's studio ecosystem.
- Partner with account and project teams to determine the right studio, team structure and level of seniority for different engagements.
- Provide oversight on complex or high-risk projects and help teams proactively identify delivery risks.
- Troubleshoot operational challenges before they impact clients.
- Help Brainrider balance quality, speed, capacity and commercial considerations when making resourcing decisions.
Quality & Operational Excellence
- Develop production QA processes that improve consistency across all partner studios.
- Identify bottlenecks and recommend workflow improvements.
- Build reporting and operational metrics that help Brainrider continuously improve.
- Help evaluate new production tools, AI workflows, and operational technologies.
- Foster a culture of accountability, responsiveness, and continuous improvement.
- Help define production roles and responsibilities as Brainrider scales.
- Provide guidance on resourcing decisions across multiple projects and clients.
We're Looking For Someone Who Has
- Significant experience in creative operations, agency operations, integrated production, or creative project leadership.
- Experience managing complex creative programs across multiple brands or clients.
- Experience building production systems—not just running projects.
- Strong understanding of creative workflows from briefing through final delivery.
- Experience working with distributed teams, freelancers, or partner agencies.
- Excellent client communication and relationship management skills.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to balance multiple priorities.
- An entrepreneurial mindset and excitement about helping build a growing business.
