Head of Internal Product, Systems & Creative Operations
About Fieldtrip
Fieldtrip is a network that brings together small, specialised agencies, built around a belief in human craft. We’re a tight-knit team of global creatives: exceptional people doing exceptional things, solving bigger problems than we did yesterday
We are growing fast. The delivery org is scaling hard. And operations need someone who can build the systems that hold all of that together without breaking. We’re looking for a person to build an agency operations function that works like a product team.
The thinking behind this role
We think agency operations can learn a lot from the product world.
The systems people rely on should be intuitive, low-friction, and enjoyable to use. They should keep getting better through observation, feedback, facilitation sessions and iteration.
We believe systems taste, judgment, and an understanding of human behaviour are invaluable, and that’s the thinking we want to build this function around.
This is a full-time, fully remote position that allows you to work from anywhere.
What you'll do
Building the team and defining how the function works: from gathering requests to assigning ownership and maintaining what we build.
Understanding where teams lose time, context, or clarity, and turning those findings into a focused roadmap and clear requirements.
Building and improving internal tools, workflows, and custom products alongside operators and developers.
Deciding what to share across agencies and where different ways of working should remain.
Owning what happens after launch: adoption, reliability, and continued improvement.
What we're looking for
You absorb context like a sponge: You’re obsessively curious, empathetic, and good at helping people articulate problems they struggle to explain. You understand the need behind a feature request.
You are micro-interaction oriented. You notice unnecessary friction and know how to make complex systems feel simple without overlooking the exceptions.
You build things that last. You think about adoption, scale, and what someone else will need to maintain your work.
You can bring people with you. You give clear direction, develop others, and help teams think differently about how they work.
You are AI nuanced: you deeply understand AI; what’s its great for and where it fails; and know how to use it extremely effectively.
Relevant experience
A background in product management or product design would translate well. Agency or creative production experience is a strong plus, as is experience building and leading a small team.
Why this role
You’ll work directly with founders to define a different way of doing agency operations. We’re investing heavily in this, including custom product development, and you’ll have room to test ideas, challenge our assumptions, and build the team around the work.
Why join us?
Unlimited Time Off & Sick Days
Flexible hours
Fully remote
Opportunities to travel and spend time with our teams around the world.
Show us something you’ve built or helped shape.
Share one or two examples, including something made with AI. Who used it? What became easier? What did you change after launch? A short demo is welcome.
We’re especially interested in what happened six months later.

Tips for Your Remote Creative Operations Lead Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote creative operations lead openings from companies hiring across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unrelated listings.
Show your async communication in writing
Remote creative operations leads are evaluated on how clearly they communicate without real-time back-and-forth. Rewrite your cover letter and application materials to show how you give direction, escalate issues, and document decisions in writing, because that is the actual work.
Lead with your remote toolstack in your resume
Remote employers scan for fluency with project management and creative workflow tools like Airtable, Notion, Asana, and Monday. Name the tools you use, the team sizes you coordinated, and the volume of projects you managed to signal you can operate without in-person systems.
Build a process portfolio before you interview
Put together two or three examples of workflow documentation, creative briefs, or project templates you built. Remote creative operations leads are hired to create structure, so showing concrete artifacts from past roles answers the interview question before it gets asked.
Remote Creative Operations Lead Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote creative operations lead job?
Remote creative operations lead roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction, strong async written communication, and the ability to manage workflows across distributed teams without in-person oversight. Remote-first companies and distributed agencies are the most consistent hirers. What gives you an edge is a clear record of coordinating creative projects across time zones, fluency with tools like Asana, Notion, or Airtable, and the ability to write briefs and process documentation that need no follow-up clarification.
Which companies hire remote creative operations leads?
Companies hiring remote creative operations leads right now include Whatnot, VAWAA, and Ferguson, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first tech companies, distributed digital agencies, and consumer brands with global creative teams are the most consistent sources of remote openings for this role.
Can you get a remote creative operations lead job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level creative operations roles are harder to land because employers expect you to manage workflows independently from day one without in-person guidance. Smaller remote-first startups and distributed agencies are more open to candidates early in their career. Showing a portfolio of organized project documentation, process templates you built, or cross-functional coordination you led, even in a volunteer or freelance context, opens the door when direct experience is limited.
Do you need a degree for remote creative operations lead jobs?
Not always. Remote employers in this role weigh demonstrated ability to manage creative workflows, tools proficiency, and clear communication over formal credentials. A portfolio showing process documentation, project management systems you built, and successful campaign coordination carries more weight than a degree at many remote-first companies. Roles at larger enterprises or agencies may still list a degree as a preference, but it rarely functions as a hard requirement.
