At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

We’re looking for a Creative Operations Director to build and lead the operational engine behind LinkedIn’s in-house creative studio. This role will own end-to-end workflow for creative projects, helping our team scale best-in-class creative across our members and customers. This is an operations-first role, focused on intake, prioritization, resourcing, program management, and agency management. You’ll sit within our marketing organization and partner closely with Creative leadership, studio teams, agencies, and cross-functional stakeholders to drive operational excellence and build scalable systems that improve visibility, collaboration, and accountability.

We’re looking for a leader who operates with agility and flexibility, navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities with clarity and sound judgment. The ideal candidate brings a strong understanding of creative development and production workflows, while staying focused on enabling the system around the work, not owning the creative itself.

You also have a creative and innovative mindset in leveraging AI-driven tools and automation to improve how creative work gets done, using technology to increase speed, transparency, and efficiency without compromising creative quality.
