Remote | Full-Time | Besque | Salary £40-45k DOE
Besque is looking for an experienced Creative Operations Manager to own the systems, workflows and execution behind a fast-moving, fully remote creative team.
This is not a traditional project management role. We are looking for someone who has operated in a high-volume creative environment and knows how to turn creative strategy into consistent, organised and high-quality output across a distributed global team.
What You’ll Do
- Own the end-to-end creative production workflow
- Manage briefs from approval through production, feedback and final delivery
- Coordinate designers, editors, strategists, creators, freelancers and external partners
- Manage a remote team operating across multiple countries and time zones
- Build strong asynchronous workflows, handovers and communication systems so production continues moving throughout the day
- Manage production capacity, workload and priorities across the team
- Identify and remove bottlenecks in the creative pipeline
- Ensure high-priority concepts and winning iterations are produced quickly
- Build and improve SOPs, workflows, templates and approval processes
- Maintain clear asset organisation, naming conventions and creative libraries
- Improve creative operations through automation, AI and better tooling
- Track creative output, turnaround times and operational performance
- Ensure deadlines, quality standards and production targets are consistently met

- Strong experience in creative operations, creative production or creative project management
- Experience within DTC, ecommerce, consumer brands, performance marketing or a high-output creative agency
- Proven experience managing a large volume of creative projects simultaneously
- Proven experience managing fully remote or internationally distributed teams
- Strong at asynchronous communication, delegation, handovers and accountability
- Comfortable coordinating people working across significantly different time zones
- Experience coordinating multidisciplinary creative teams
- Strong understanding of production capacity and resource planning
- Excellent organisational and project management skills
- Comfortable building systems and processes from scratch

Who You Are

- You create clarity around who owns what, what happens next, when it is due and what is blocking progress.
- You know how to build an operation where work moves seamlessly from one person to another without requiring constant meetings or management intervention.
- You care about quality, but you also understand that in a high-growth environment, speed and creative velocity matter.
