We seek to ignite that passion by setting high standards, championing teamwork, and creating work-life harmony as we collectively navigate rapid growth on a global scale while striving for greater equity and opportunity - inside and outside our organization.

To flourish here, you must be prepared to set a high bar for yourself and those around you. There is always a way to contribute: Acting with autonomy, having accountability and being open to new perspectives are essential to our continued success.

Our deep curiosity to learn and our eagerness to share diverse passions with others gives us balance and injects a one-of-a-kind vibrancy into our culture.

If you are driven to solve exhilarating challenges and have a bias toward action in the face of change, you will be empowered to make a real impact here, with a sharp and passionate team at your back. If Braze sounds like a place where you can thrive, we can’t wait to meet you.

As the Senior Creative Operations Lead, Brand, you own how work moves through the Brand organization. You design, evolve, and lead the operational systems that enable high-quality creative output across campaigns, content, events, video, and evergreen production - globally and at scale.

You operate as a highly senior individual contributor and strategic operator, acting as a trusted partner to Creative Directors, Associate Creative Directors, and Marketing leadership. Your work brings calm to complexity, alignment across teams, and rigor to how creative work is planned, delivered, and sustained.

  • Build scalable operational playbooks for campaigns, events, video, and always-on production
  • Identify and implement tools, automation, and AI-assisted workflows where they meaningfully improve speed, quality, or visibility
  • Ensure operational systems support both creative excellence and team sustainability

Financial & Vendor Stewardship

  • Oversee creative budgets, vendor spend, and forecasting in partnership with Finance

  • Ensure financial rigor, transparency, and efficiency across Brand production

WHO YOU ARE

  • Proven experience leading operations for in-house creative or brand teams
  • Deeply fluent in creative workflows across brand, campaigns, video, motion, and events
  • Trusted communicator who can influence without authority
  • Thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments
