Summary

We are looking for a senior freelance brand and creative operations professional to support a short-term marketing transition project, with potential for ongoing fractional creative execution afterward. This is not a brand refresh or a creative strategy assignment. The immediate need is to help inventory, organize, verify, and document existing marketing and creative assets so the business can continue operating without disruption after a team transition. The right person is a practical senior operator who can bring order to messy creative files, identify what is missing or risky, document what exists, and help make sure the marketing team can continue executing. Immediate scope includes: * Reviewing and organizing existing brand and creative source files * Identifying final files versus working files * Confirming logo, template, presentation, collateral, event, campaign, web, and social asset locations * Documenting Adobe, Canva, Figma, PowerPoint, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and other creative file dependencies * Helping identify missing, outdated, duplicate, or risky assets * Supporting vendor and freelancer handoff documentation * Helping document event, booth, print, swag, and physical marketing asset records * Creating a simple asset inventory and risk summary for leadership * Recommending a practical folder structure and handoff process Potential ongoing work: If the transition project goes well, there may be an opportunity for ongoing fractional creative support. This could include: * Sales decks * One-pagers * Event graphics * Webinar graphics * Campaign assets * Social graphics * Simple landing page creative * Brand and template cleanup * Presentation polish * Creative production support for marketing campaigns Ideal background: * Senior brand operations, creative operations, design production, or fractional creative leadership experience * B2B SaaS, healthcare technology, enterprise software, or professional services experience preferred * Strong command of Adobe Creative Suite, PowerPoint, Canva, Figma, and shared file systems * Comfortable working with messy legacy asset libraries * Able to work inside an existing brand direction without trying to reinvent it * Excellent documentation and organizational skills * Practical, responsive, low-ego, and execution-oriented Expected commitment: Initial project: 20 to 30 hours over 2 to 3 weeks. Possible ongoing support: 10 to 20 hours per week, depending on fit and business needs. Important: No passwords or credentials will be shared. Access will be handled through approved company systems. Please do not apply if you are primarily looking for a full brand refresh, campaign concepting, or high-level strategy-only work. We need someone who can organize, document, and execute. To apply, please include: 1. A short note about similar transition, asset organization, or creative operations work you have done 2. Examples of B2B, SaaS, healthcare, or enterprise marketing creative 3. Your hourly rate 4. Your availability over the next 2 to 3 weeks 5.
