Our ideal Service Operations Manager will oversee the daily operations of our Creative-as-a-Service (CaaS) team, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery of creative services. At Designity, you will develop and implement operational policies to enhance efficiency, manage project workflows from inception to completion, and ensure adherence to established processes. You will be instrumental in quality assurance, continuously elevating service standards, and resolving any discrepancies promptly. This role also involves identifying opportunities for process improvements, staying updated on industry trends, and tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) to inform strategic decisions.

If you are looking for the opportunity to join a growing company that is transforming the creative industry, then Designity is the place for you.

Designity is a subscription-based creative platform that enables seamless more efficient collaboration between creatives and businesses through a unique and innovative model. Our unique approach has attracted companies of all sizes, including Calendly, Kung Fu Tea, and Marriott Hotels, who choose Designity for their design and marketing needs over traditional, more expensive, and less efficient alternatives.

We’re revolutionizing the creative industry by introducing more thoughtful, effective, modern design and marketing methods. Companies traditionally hire in-house creatives, which is costly, time-consuming, skill-limiting, and requires substantial supervision. Working with traditional design and marketing agencies offers an alternative but at a high cost. Marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr claim to offer a more affordable solution, but their model lacks reliability and optimization for creative practices, bringing frustration for businesses.

While we still operate like a startup, we are in full scale- up mode. If you are looking for the opportunity to join a growing company that is transforming the creative industry, then Designity is the place for you.
