We operate at the intersection of machine learning, programmatic media, and full-funnel mobile growth, powering campaigns for some of the world's most ambitious advertisers. Our platform is purpose-built to deliver outcomes at scale, not just impressions.
We are a team of builders, operators, and technologists who believe the advertising industry is overdue for a fundamental rethink. We move fast, operate with a high degree of ownership, and hold ourselves to an exceptionally high standard of craft.
RZR is scaling aggressively with an active M&A pipeline and a platform vision that puts us on a path to becoming an industry leader. This is a rare opportunity to join a company at an inflection point and help shape what it becomes.
The Creative Lead for Production owns quality and pipeline health for a pod of designers delivering creative across Video, Banner, Native, Interstitial, and Playable formats. You are the QA gate — every asset passes through your sign-off before it ships.
You sit at the seam between Creative Strategy and Production: translating briefs into executable direction, maintaining the team's output velocity, and protecting quality even at peak volume (20–30 tickets per day). This is not a pure management role. You are expected to stay hands-on — personally concepting, storyboarding, and executing — while leading, coaching, and developing your direct reports.
The right person sets the creative bar rather than enforcing someone else's, and finds the balance between forward output and quality control without dropping either.
Own production quality standards across all formats and enforce the QA matrix — every asset passes your sign-off before shipping
Direct creative execution across channels and set the bar for what "done" looks like
Manage the QA pipeline end to end: review and approve RZR Studio submissions, flag revisions, track resolution at 20–30 tickets per day at peak, with first-review turnaround under 2 hours
Triage and allocate bandwidth across your pod, flag bottlenecks before they become backlogs, and deliver a daily pulse on pipeline health
Coordinate with the Creative Strategy Lead on brief-to-execution alignment, escalating collated feedback when strategic creative revisions run heavy on first pass
Drive production workflow and tooling improvements, owning the team's iteration velocity and output volume targets
Maintain and update the Playbook and RZR Studio Templates on every new account launch, with same-day turnaround
Run 1:1s and development check-ins with all direct reports; report pod output metrics to the Director of Creative Services
7+ years in creative production, motion or graphic design, or multimedia design within digital, gaming, or adtech
Hands-on fluency across the Adobe Suite — Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects — at a level where you can personally concept, storyboard, and execute, not just review
Proven QA and production management experience: owning sign-off standards, SLA turnaround, and quality bars across multiple formats including Video, Banner, Native, Interstitial, and/or Playable
Experience managing production pipelines at volume (20+ tickets per day equivalent) without quality slipping
Track record of personally shipping strong concept work — storyboards, key art, or campaign creative — not just directing others' output
Familiarity with platform-specific creative specs and constraints across DSP, Meta, TikTok, and ASO
Experience managing and developing a team of designers (3+ direct reports), coaching on craft not just workflow
Comfortable translating strategic briefs into clear, executable production direction
Strong written and verbal communication — able to give craft feedback that lands and escalate risk clearly
Prior experience in adtech, programmatic advertising, or mobile advertising creative
Familiarity with AI-assisted production tooling and a clear view on where human craft judgment must stay in the loop
Experience working across international or distributed creative teams
This is a hybrid role based in Bangalore, India, requiring regular attendance for collaboration, reviews, and team activities. This is not a fully remote position. Creative team members may occasionally be required to work more frequently depending on project demands.
— this is a high-impact production leadership role with genuine ownership over quality standards across the pod
— this is not a pure management track. You will stay in the work, personally concepting and executing alongside directing your team
— pod output and quality reporting flows directly to the Director of Creative Services, with clear line of sight to your impact
— you are inheriting a functioning pod with defined workflows, tooling, and playbooks, with room to elevate them
— strong performance in this role leads toward cross-pod production standards and the Creative Director track
