Freelance Creative Operations at Shook. Remote Location: Remote. Job Title:. Freelance Creative Operations Manager. Location:. Remote (with CET time zone overlap). Type:. Freelance · Project-based (with potential to expand to multiple projects). 🧠 . About Shook Digital. At Shook Digital, we're building the production engine for the next generation of advertisers. High-performing UGC is no longer a "nice-to-have." It is the core of the modern ad stack. We help brands scale their TikTok presence by turning creative chaos into high-performing systems.. Founded in the era of short-form video, Shook has become the partner of choice for brands that need to move fast without losing creative quality. What unites our team is a relentless focus on learning speed, operational rigor, and a deep understanding of why people stop scrolling.. Our goal is to make Shook Digital the global standard for UGC. We want to build a system so efficient that "20-day delivery" feels like a law of nature, not a challenge. This role is central to that momentum.. 🎬 . The Role. We're looking for someone to own the production machine — starting from the blank page. This isn't about "watching videos" or shepherding someone else's idea through a pipeline. It's about developing the concept and script yourself, then managing the complex lifecycle of talent, deadlines, and technical constraints that turns that idea into a high-performing asset, every single time.. The best producers make production look calm, composed, and smooth. Not because nothing goes wrong: creators go quiet, lighting fails, briefs get read three different ways. It looks smooth because they saw most of it coming. We aren't looking for a "project coordinator" who passes messages along. We're looking for a Producer who originates the idea, leads a shoot with the next three steps already mapped, and when something does slip through, has a solution ready before anyone has to ask for one.. 🌐 . Work Mode. Shook Digital is remote-first. This role is open to candidates with significant overlap with Central European Time (CET). We value deep focus and async work, but production is a live sport — and it's also a team sport. You need to be responsive during core hours to keep the gears turning, and genuinely engaged with the people turning them alongside you.. 🤳🏻 . What you'll do:. Own the Machine:. Manage the end-to-end production workflow. You are responsible for the balance between creative "taste" and 20-day delivery speed.. Concept & Script Ownership:. Develop the creative concept and script yourself before a single frame is shot. This is the highest-leverage part of any production, and it starts with you.. AI-Augmented Workflow:. We run an AI-automated production platform and use tools like ElevenLabs for voiceover. You're comfortable working within AI-assisted systems and see them as a way to move faster — not a threat to the craft.. Creator Partnership:. Source and "ghost-proof" our creator network. You don't just hire them; you build relationships that ensure they follow the brief and hit the deadline.. The Feedback Loop:. Review raw footage with a TikTok-native eye. If a hook is weak or the energy is off, you provide the firm, direct feedback needed to fix it.. Systems Thinking:. Help us refine our modular ad structures. You'll organize hooks, bodies, and CTAs so they can be tested and iterated on at scale.. 📹 . What we're looking for. Craft Ownership:. You have real hands-on scriptwriting and concept-development experience — this isn't something you're hoping to pick up on the job.. Operational Ownership:. You find "messy" workflows painful. You are the person who creates the spreadsheet that saves the project.. TikTok Fluency:. You understand the platform's DNA. You know why a native-feeling "CapCut" edit outperforms a polished studio commercial.. High Agency:. You are comfortable with ambiguity. If a creator drops out on Day 12, you don't wait for permission. You've already sourced a backup.. Direct Communication:. You can give critical feedback to creators without sugar-coating it, while maintaining a great working relationship.. Taste:. You know what "good" looks like. You can spot a high-retention hook in the first 2 seconds of raw footage.. Collaborative by Nature:. You build real working relationships with your team, not just transactional handoffs — this is a genuinely tight-knit group, and we want it to stay that way.. Resilience:. You don't take it personally when a creator fails to deliver. You see a ghosting creator as a data point to be managed, not a personal crisis. You stay calm when the timeline gets tight.. 🌍 . What we offer. Interesting Challenges:. Work on global campaigns for leading brands.. A paid onboarding capped at 50 hours.. Autonomy:. We hire adults and trust them. No micromanagement, just putting things together and getting things done.. Remote Flexibility:. Work from wherever you are most productive, provided you can hit the CET overlap.. Professional Growth:. Opportunity to move from "Managing Projects" to "Owning Systems" as we scale.. 💰 . Compensation. During onboarding (up to 50 hours), your hourly rate is €40/hr.. Once onboarded, you move to flat per-project rates starting at €650, scaling with scope and complexity — plus bonuses for language match, niche industry expertise, and top-tier accounts.. 🪜 . How we hire. We believe in a transparent process that prioritizes evidence of work over interviews. Our goal is to see how you think, communicate, and get things done.. The Brief. (20 min): A focused call to discuss our production philosophy, your experience with short-form systems, and how you approach concept development.. The Work Trial. (2 hours, paid): A real campaign brief and a common production bottleneck. You'll show us how you'd concept it, organize the workflow, brief the creator, and ensure the deadline is met.. Task presentation & final interview. (1 hr, unpaid): You'll walk us through the task you did, present your ideas and explain your thinking. We're looking for operational clarity, attention to detail, and creative work that's on-brief.. Final Chat:. A quick alignment on terms and start date. We move from interview to onboarding in days, not weeks.. 👀 Ready to Apply?.
