ABOUT THE ROLE
Kikoff is looking for a Marketing & Creative Operations Manager to help our creative team deliver more impactful work through better resourcing, workflow improvements, and automation.
Reporting to the Senior Director of Brand & Creative, you’ll own day-to-day creative operations across our internal team, agencies, and freelancers. You’ll build on an established operating process, identifying opportunities to increase output, reduce manual coordination, and make better use of our creative resources.
An early priority will be leading our transition away from Jira, translating established workflows into a new platform. You’ll also identify opportunities to improve connectivity with Growth, streamlining asset delivery and the flow of performance feedback into creative development.
You’re a hands-on operator who understands creative work, makes thoughtful resource decisions, and knows how to improve processes without adding unnecessary complexity.
Creative resourcing and delivery
- Own resource allocation and capacity planning across internal creatives, agencies, and freelancers, matching assignments to skills, availability, and business priorities.
- Partner with creative leaders to prioritize work, resolve resource conflicts, and identify opportunities to increase creative volume within existing capacity.
- Manage intake, assignments, timelines, and dependencies across video, design, copy, and creator content.
- Keep projects moving through feedback and approvals, coordinating with creative stakeholders, Legal, and Compliance as review requirements evolve.
- Maintain visibility into workloads, project status, and delivery risks, resolving blockers and bringing clear recommendations when tradeoffs are needed.
- Manage external creative resources, tracking capacity, deliverables, and costs to inform resourcing decisions.
Process improvement and automation
- Evaluate existing workflows and identify targeted improvements that reduce friction, shorten turnaround times, and improve resource utilization.
- Lead the transition from Jira, translating our established intake, tracking, and review workflows into a new platform while identifying opportunities to simplify and automate.
- Identify and implement automation and AI tools that reduce repetitive coordination, status updates, review routing, and reporting.
- Improve how we track creative volume, turnaround times, review cycles, and capacity, using operational data to guide decisions and measure progress.
- Maintain clear documentation and practical working standards, ensuring tools and processes remain useful as the team’s needs change.
Cross-functional connectivity
- Partner with Growth to improve asset handoffs and performance feedback workflows, helping creative teams access and apply learnings more efficiently.
- Explore opportunities to automate asset delivery, uploads, and connections between creative workflow tools and marketing systems.
- Apply successful workflow improvements to adjacent marketing processes as needs and opportunities emerge.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- 5+ years of experience in creative operations, marketing operations, or creative program management within an in-house team or agency.
- Hands-on experience resourcing creative teams across video, design, and copy.
- A track record of improving output, turnaround times, or costs within an established operation.
- Experience migrating established workflows between platforms and driving team adoption.
- Practical experience building automations that reduce manual work.
- Strong analytical judgment and confidence making resource recommendations and challenging assumptions constructively.
- Clear communication and the ability to coordinate priorities across teams without direct reporting authority.
- Willingness to own daily execution while continuously improving how work gets done.
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience supporting high-volume performance creative.
- Familiarity with AI tools, no-code automation, and integrations between creative and marketing systems.
- Experience coordinating legal or compliance reviews in a regulated industry.
- Familiarity with asset management, paid media delivery, and creative performance feedback processes.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Creative Marketing Manager
Align your portfolio to specialty occupation standards
Frame your work samples around degree-level deliverables: brand architecture decisions, cross-channel attribution models, and market research synthesis. USCIS evaluates whether the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, so your portfolio must reinforce that standard.
Use OFLC Wage Search before salary negotiations
Look up the prevailing wage for your SOC code and metropolitan area before you discuss compensation. Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above that level, so knowing the floor protects you from offers that could later fail DOL review.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to find Creative Marketing Manager roles at employers with verified H-1B visa sponsorship history. Applying to companies that have already filed LCAs for similar roles cuts the cycle time and reduces the risk of an employer backing out mid-process.
Confirm each worksite appears on its own certified LCA
If your role involves client sites, agency offices, or hybrid arrangements across multiple locations, each worksite needs its own DOL-certified LCA before you work there. Raise this with HR early so your employer files the correct number of applications before your start date.
Request premium processing before your offer expires
USCIS premium processing upgrades adjudication to 15 business days. Marketing hiring timelines are often tight, and standard processing can stretch well beyond that window. Ask your employer to include the premium processing fee in the offer terms before you sign.
Review your O*NET profile to build your specialty occupation case
The O*NET occupation profile for Marketing Managers lists the specific analytical, strategic, and technical tasks that support a specialty occupation argument. Use those task descriptions to shape your job offer letter and ensure the listed duties align with what USCIS expects at the degree level.
H-1B Visa Creative Marketing Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Creative Marketing Manager role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, Creative Marketing Manager roles typically qualify when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, advertising, or a closely related field. The employer's job description must reflect degree-level duties such as brand strategy, integrated campaign planning, or audience analytics. Roles that could be performed without a specific degree background are more likely to draw a Request for Evidence from USCIS.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B visas for marketing roles?
Search Migrate Mate to browse Creative Marketing Manager positions at employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history. This narrows your applications to companies that have already navigated the DOL and USCIS filing process for similar roles, which reduces delays and improves the likelihood your sponsorship completes without issue.
What documents should I prepare before asking an employer to sponsor my H-1B?
Gather your academic transcripts, degree certificates, and any credential evaluations if your degree was earned outside the United States. You'll also need a detailed employment history that maps your past marketing roles to degree-level responsibilities. USCIS may request a credential evaluation from an approved evaluator if your degree title does not directly match the job's field.
Can I work for multiple marketing clients or agencies on a single H-1B?
Only if your employer structures the arrangement correctly. Each physical worksite where you perform H-1B duties requires its own DOL-certified Labor Condition Application. If your Creative Marketing Manager role involves work at client offices or partner agencies, your employer must file a separate LCA for each location before you begin work there.
What happens to my H-1B status if my employer eliminates the Creative Marketing Manager role?
Your H-1B status is tied to your employer's active petition. If your role is eliminated, you enter a 60-day grace period during which you can find a new H-1B sponsor without leaving the United States. The new employer must file a fresh I-129 petition before the grace period ends. USCIS confirmation of that filing extends your authorized stay while adjudication continues.
