Creative Operations Advisor
What's the Vibe?
...See, we have this crazy idea that effective collaboration is THE skill of the future and critical to our success. As a remote company with staff across the globe, we've seen firsthand how important it is for our teams to work well together.
And that's why we focus on hiring talented people who are also great to work with.
That means we don't always hire the people with the most experience. Some of us have PhDs. Others have spent multiple decades working at the top of our field. But we've also hired former tennis coaches, film students, photographers, hotel front desk workers, freelance travel agents, and fashion designers.
While our backgrounds are diverse, we all share a few important traits:
- We love solving challenging problems.
- We're passionate about the work we do.
- And we're the kind of good humans who make you look forward to that morning coffee chat, who bring positive energy to every meeting, who go the extra mile to support one another, and who make work feel a little less like work.
But, hey, there are lots of job posts out there that are cool and vibey and explain how unique their company culture is (look, a ping-pong table!). We know, we've seen them. Some might be truer than others. As for us, we think you'll notice the good vibes the first time we chat.
What's the Role?
Still interested? Awesome. Here's the deal:
We're looking for a Creative Operations Advisor with a secret weapon: you've lived the life our customers live.
Maybe you've worked in a creative studio managing production workflows. Maybe you've been on a brand team coordinating product photography for seasonal launches. Or perhaps you've been the person drowning in spreadsheets trying to track assets across multiple shoots.
Whatever your background, you understand the chaos, the pressure, and the very real operational challenges that creative teams face every single day. And now you want to help solve those problems.
This role fits into the Sales team. But it isn't a traditional sales role, and we're not looking for traditional salespeople. We're looking for people from the creative operations world who are ready to transition into a role where they can use their industry expertise to build genuine relationships with prospects, have credible conversations about workflow transformation, and guide potential customers toward solutions that actually work.
Yes, revenue is the goal. We're not going to pretend otherwise. But we've learned that the best Creative Operations Advisors are the ones who prospects see as peers, not vendors. Someone who gets it. Someone who's been there.
You'll work the full sales cycle, from initial outreach through contract negotiation, partnering with our SDR team on qualified opportunities and collaborating with Customer Success for smooth handoffs. But you'll do it all from the unique position of someone who truly understands what keeps creative operations leaders up at night.
Creative Operations Advisor Self-Assessment
Normally, this is where you'd find a three-page-long list of required skills, including but not limited to: fire dancing, speed stacking, and knife-forging.
But it's 2026, so we aren't going to do that to you.
We do know, however, what characteristics we believe make a kick-ass Creative Operations Advisor at Creative Force. To help you evaluate if you'd be a good fit for this role, we've provided them below.
You've Been in the Trenches
You've worked in creative operations, production studios, or similar environments. You know what it's like to manage photo shoots, coordinate retouching, track assets, or deal with the nightmare of version control across teams. You don't need prospects to explain their pain points because you've lived them. This credibility is your superpower. It opens doors, builds trust instantly, and lets you have conversations at a depth that traditional salespeople simply can't reach.
You're Ready to Transition from Doing to Enabling
You loved working in creative operations, but you're excited about the idea of helping multiple teams transform their workflows rather than managing workflows yourself. You see this role as a way to leverage your hard-won industry knowledge to make a broader impact. You're comfortable with the idea that your success will now be measured by revenue and relationships rather than production output, and that excites you rather than scares you.
You're Relationship-Driven, But Commercially Minded
You genuinely care about understanding people's challenges because, well, they used to be your challenges too. You ask better questions than you give pitches because you know the right questions. But you also understand that solving problems and driving revenue aren't mutually exclusive. You're comfortable discussing pricing, ROI, and business cases. You can connect operational pain points to financial outcomes because you've seen firsthand what inefficiency costs.
You Have High Emotional Intelligence
You read between the lines in prospect conversations because you've been in those internal meetings where the real concerns get discussed. You understand the politics of enterprise buying decisions. You know that the person who'll use the software daily might have different priorities than the executive approving the budget. You build trust quickly because prospects sense you're not just selling to them, you actually understand their world.
What we offer YOU
- A fast-growing, exciting, and fun startup environment - multiple Employer Awards, including being ranked top #20 in Forbes “Americas Best Startup Employers” for several years in a row.
- Competitive benefits package - including 4-5 weeks PTO + 6 days paid sick leave + holidays + healthcare, dental and vision packages.
- A flat and transparent organizational structure - no bureaucratic red tape. Your ideas and initiatives will be heard and embraced!
- True work-life balance - we see our team members as people, not numbers, and know that a balanced personal and professional life is critical to happiness and long-term fulfillment
- A new and expanding team with great opportunities to grow and develop your skills and career
- A vibrant work culture grounded in the belief that we're better together
- Company trips and events, and much more!
Who Isn't This Role For?
Firstly, if you love being hands-on in production and the thought of stepping away from day-to-day studio operations makes you sad, this probably isn't the right move yet. This role is about enabling others, not doing the work yourself.
Secondly, if you're from the creative operations world but have zero interest in the commercial side of things, the conversations about pricing, contracts, and ROI, this might not be your vibe. The industry expertise is critical, but so is the willingness to embrace the sales aspect of the role.
And here's where we'll be real honest with you: things at Creative Force change. A lot.
Our industry, our product, the world: rapid change is everywhere. Some people thrive on all the development opportunities, problem solving, innovation, and general rush that change offers. We're certainly those people, and it's one of our biggest competitive advantages and has been a critical ingredient of our success.
But we know that dynamism isn't for everyone. So if you are looking for a work experience that's a little more chill, hey, we don't blame you! But we probably aren't what you are looking for.

We're looking forward to hearing from you!
