Marketing and Creative Operations Manager
I’m a senior marketing and creative operations manager with a foundation in photo and video production and a focus on creative operations. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, and people—helping teams move from idea to delivery with clarity, efficiency, and strong creative outcomes.
Because I come from production, I lead with a deep understanding of how work actually gets done. I’m comfortable initiating and planning complex projects, organizing teams and resources, managing budgets and timelines, and guiding work through execution and project close—while keeping quality, brand integrity, and the end customer in focus.
Senior Manager, Creative Operations
In my current role, I manage a team of three people in our brand marketing department. Our small but mighty team wears a lot of hats to support photo and video production, brand activations, GTM initiatives, trade shows, and other creative operations projects.
Across projects, I partner closely with creative directors and executive leadership, internal production teams, and external vendors and agencies. I plan and organize, enable decision-making, and communicate status, risks, and changes clearly as projects evolve. I’m responsible for balancing creative ambition with operational realities—controlling costs, managing change, and breaking down barriers so teams can stay focused on the work.
How I Lead
I build teams by creating structure, trust, and space for people to do their best work. I believe strong leadership includes fostering open communication, teaching and mentoring, and empowering team members to make decisions while knowing when to step in and support. My management style is grounded in:
Clear planning and strong organizational skills
Proactive communication and escalation when needed
Flexibility as priorities shift
Relationship-building across teams and stakeholders
I work closely with my team through each phase of a project—helping set priorities, removing obstacles, and making sure everyone understands both the “why” and the “what” behind the work.
Unique Project Management Perspective
I bring a production-first mindset to marketing operations, allowing me to anticipate challenges early and manage projects with confidence. From budgeting and scheduling to resourcing and delivery, I focus on systems that keep work moving efficiently without sacrificing creative quality. I’m constantly improving workflows through tools, documentation, and process refinement.
I’m most effective in environments where creative work, operational efficiencies, and collaboration matter equally. I’m comfortable owning timelines, controlling scope, and communicating progress and concerns to stakeholders at every level. My unique perspective allows me to connect teams, guide complex projects forward, and deliver exceptional work that supports both brand goals and business priorities.
