Creative & Design Operations Lead (Hybrid)

This is a high-ownership role at the center of how Enova Studios operates. We're rapidly evolving and want an operations leader who knows how to bridge Creative Ops and DesignOps, owning the systems, tools and processes that keep creative production and product/UX design moving. You’ll work in close partnership with the Head of Studios to set priorities, surface risks and drive the operational roadmap. You'll be the connective tissue between Studios and the broader business, leading cross-functional conversations and managing vendor relationships in ways that build visibility for the work and the people behind it.

Enova Studios is the in-house creative agency for Enova's small business and consumer lending brands: OnDeck, CashNetUSA, NetCredit, Simplic and more. We bring Creative, Content, Code and UX capabilities together under one roof. Leveraging deep brand knowledge, cross-functional relationships and strategic context, we turn customer insights into work that drives real results.
