Role Overview

We're looking for someone who can own everything inside the Design team, the people, processes, and rhythms that keep a 50+ member creative team healthy, utilized, and continuously growing. This is the operational backbone of the team: someone who always knows who's working on what, who's overloaded, who's available, who's due for a review, and who's joining or leaving—and ensures nothing falls through the cracks. If you enjoy bringing structure to creative environments and enabling teams to do their best work, this role is for you.

• Proficiency with productivity and resourcing tools (e.g., ClickUp, Sheets or similar resource planners, HRMS tools).

• High empathy, discretion, and sound judgment, you'll handle sensitive people matters.

Strongly preferred

• A formal education or working background in design (B.Des or hands-on design experience).
