We’re hiring an On-Call Creative Operations Specialist to support our Creative Studio. Nothing of quality gets produced without someone, somewhere, taking ownership – that’s you. You own the process that links developing striking creative deliverables and strategic, hands-on client management.

This is a strategic opening to provide networking opportunities for upcoming openings.

Join our Creative Studio of mission-driven creatives, communicators, strategists, and technologists who are rapidly putting ICF Next on the map for DC Metro’s premier creative shop.

As an On-Call Creative Operations Specialist , you will:

  • Support public and private-sector clients who tackle issues like HIV/AIDS, disaster preparedness, human trafficking, climate change, child welfare, and more.

  • Act as a liaison between the account team and the creative team to own the creative development process, making sure we get the best work out of the team at maximum efficiency and quality for the company and client.

  • Oversee workflow in multiple mediums across the account deliverables list, ensuring version control, edits, internal deadlines, final deadlines, quality control and final release files all are optimized.

  • Help manage outside vendors such as printers, photographers etc.

  • Draft internal and external creative development schedules geared around key milestones and stakeholders, that also allow for the best creative product.
