Sydney, Australia Afterpay Full time

**Company Description**:

- It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 47 million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world’s relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
- Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We’ve been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.

At Afterpay & Cash App, Creative Ops/Production empowers the brand creative and marketing teams to excel with production excellence. Creative Ops Managers drive the entire process from concept thorough delivery partnering with cross-functional teams to tackle business challenges for our customers. The creative ops/production team is responsible for uniting the team, delivering the best work, and problem solving solutions.

We are looking for an Australia based Creative Ops Manager who will lead Afterpay International projects/productions within our brand studio team, from brief intake to delivery. Our Afterpay brand studio team collaborates and manages the creative process for marketing, sales, and product teams working on various projects from campaigns, digital, experiential, and more.

The ideal person must have expertise in project management and integrated production. Essentially, we are seeking a versatile individual, a swiss army knife—a hybrid role combining program manager and producer responsibilities - someone who enjoys operations, project management, and production equally, valuing all three aspects with equal importance.

This role will report to the Head of Creative Production (NY based) and work closely with our Head of Creative (Sydney based).

You will:

- Lead brand projects / programs, assuming responsibility for day-to-day management of the creative process (brief to deliver) and stakeholder involvement.
- Work closely with creative and cross-functional teams to scope projects and build production approaches from briefs
- Track project / program projects, maintenance, budget, timelines, communication of status, and ensuring efficient workflows
- Onboarding new agencies, vendors, and freelancers while owning relationships.
- Organize and lead project meetings, including developing agendas and capturing action items
- Manage creative feedback and revisions to ensure project is on scope
- Help develop process improvements for content production, setting up for future growth
- Mitigate risk and be proactive on any potential project / program problems
- Ensure the highest creative standards are achieved and on brand
- Collaborate with business affairs and legal on large projects for legal sign-off
- Be a brand champion and find moments of celebration for the team

**Qualifications**:

- 8+ years of experience producing/project management brand work at an agency or in-house brand/product team
- Expert knowledge of production industry trends
- Established network of creative, production, photography, illustration, and freelance partners
- Ability to build relationships with marketing and product counterparts to ensure the creative that is being produced is thoughtful of all channel partner needs
- Comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and juggling multiple projects at a time
- You have the experience and tools to solve problems in your back pocket
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Extreme empathy for the customer, your teammates, and the company mission

**Additional Information**:
We’re working to build a more inclusive economy where our customers have equal access to opportunity, and we strive to live by these same values in building our workplace. Block is a proud equal opportunity employer. We work hard to evaluate all employees and job applicants consistently, based solely on the core competencies required of the role at hand, and without regard to any legally protected class.
