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 Director of Creative Operations Job Search
Show your async communication clearly
Remote creative operations directors live in written communication. Highlight experience running creative briefs, feedback loops, and stakeholder updates entirely through tools like Notion, Slack, or project management platforms. Remote hiring managers look for this before anything else.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote director of creative operations openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unrelated listings.
Build a portfolio of process and throughput wins
Remote employers can't observe how you work, so your portfolio needs to do that work for you. Include examples of creative workflows you redesigned, team capacity you scaled, and production cycles you shortened, with concrete outcomes rather than descriptions of responsibilities.
Prepare for remote interview simulations
Many remote creative operations interviews include a live scenario where you walk through how you'd onboard a distributed creative team or resolve a cross-functional bottleneck. Practice narrating your process decisions clearly over video, since that communication style is exactly what you'll use on the job.
Remote Director of Creative Operations Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote director of creative operations job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed teams that run creative functions entirely online, since they're built to support this role without in-person oversight. Remote employers screen for strong async communication, the ability to manage workflows through project management platforms, and a demonstrated history of coordinating cross-functional creative output independently. A portfolio showing process improvements, team throughput results, and campaign delivery at scale gives you a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote director of creative operationss?
Companies hiring remote director of creative operationss right now include Whatnot, Directive, and Advantage HQ, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology firms, DTC brands, and digital media companies tend to hire this role remotely most consistently, since their creative and marketing functions are already built around distributed collaboration.
Can you get a remote director of creative operations job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry is harder because you're expected to manage processes and people independently from day one without an office structure to lean on. Smaller remote-first startups and agencies are more open to candidates earlier in their careers. Showing documented systems you've built, volunteer or freelance creative project management, and fluency with async tools can open doors when formal experience is thin.
Do you need a degree for remote director of creative operations jobs?
Not always. Remote employers in this role weigh demonstrated creative operations experience, process ownership, and measurable output far more heavily than a specific credential. Candidates who can show they've scaled creative teams, reduced production bottlenecks, or improved asset delivery timelines get serious consideration regardless of educational background. A degree in communications, marketing, or design can help, but it rarely decides the hire.
