Head of Creative Operations

Remote Full-time

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.
