The opportunity

We're looking for a Creative Operations Manager to be the operational backbone of Perplexity's creative team. Our creative output is scaling fast — brand campaigns, GTM launches, shoots, partnerships — and we need someone who can run the production of all of it so our designers,…

What you'll do

  • Coordinate creative projects across multiple teams: owning scopes, timelines, budgets, and delivery so nothing falls through the gaps

  • Be the single point of contact for cross-functional partners (Comms, Product: Marketing, Partnerships, Events) so requests are triaged, scoped, and delivered

  • Source and manage vendors, contractors, freelancers, and external agencies —: negotiating, briefing, and keeping relationships strong

  • Organize and run shoots end-to-end: casting, location scouting, scheduling, crewing, and on-set logistics

  • Own licenses, contracts, releases, and rights management: keeping the team compliant and unblocked

  • Build and run a production workflow and intake process that keeps a: fast-moving creative team organized without adding bureaucracy

What they're looking for

  • Experience as a producer on an in-house creative or brand team (e.g., Brand: Producer / Creative Producer), ideally at a tech or consumer software company
  • A track record coordinating creative projects across teams and keeping them on time, on budget, and on brand
  • Hands-on experience managing vendors, contractors, and agencies, including negotiating and managing contracts
  • Experience organizing shoots: photo and video — and handling the logistics, licensing, and releases that come with them
  • Strong program and project management instincts; you bring order to a fast, ambiguous environment
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management: you keep a lot of people aligned without slowing them down
  • Fluency with creative tools and workflows (Figma, Adobe Creative Suite) and: the production process from concept to delivery
  • Comfort working alongside strong creative leaders: this role is about enabling great creative work, not directing it
