They care more about outcomes than credit and stay close to the product and the people using it. For this role specifically, you should have: 6+ years of experience in creative operations, performance marketing operations, production, or program management at a high-growth consumer company. Direct paid creative ops experience is a plus, but strong operational and analytical judgment matter most. A track record of building systems that scale. You’ve improved an intake process, briefing workflow, creative testing calendar, production tracker, agency model, reporting cadence, or asset delivery system in a measurable way. Strong performance creative fluency. You understand paid marketing metrics like CAC, ROAS, LTV, PBP, incrementality, and creative fatigue, and know how to take that data to drive better creative results. Strong prioritization and project management instincts. You can separate urgent from important, make tradeoffs clear, and keep cross-functional work moving without adding unnecessary process. Clear communication. You can turn messy status, blockers, and competing opinions into a crisp update or recommendation. Comfort with ambiguity and speed. You can take an unclear problem, build a practical v1, and iterate without waiting for perfect direction. Low ego and strong team instincts. You’re comfortable pushing for clarity, giving direct feedback, and jumping into unglamorous work when it helps the team win. Genuine curiosity about Whatnot’s product and community. Everyone here uses the product, and this role gets better by staying close to buyers, sellers, and categories. 🎁 Benefits Generous Holiday and Time off Policy Health Insurance options including Medical, Dental, Vision Work From Home Support Home office setup allowance Monthly allowance for cell phone and internet Care benefits Monthly allowance for wellness Annual allowance towards Childcare Lifetime benefit for family planning, such as adoption or fertility expenses Retirement; 401k offering for Traditional and Roth accounts in the US (employer match up to 4% of base salary) and Pension plans internationally Monthly allowance to dogfood the app All Whatnauts are expected to develop a deep understanding of our product.
