Director, Physical Brand Production and Execution

This is a hands-on creative and design role that will execute Tennis Channel's brand across physical and presentation-based touchpoints. The position carries director-level responsibility while remaining deeply execution-focused, serving as the central point of ownership for the company's physical brand output. Rather than operating as a strategy-only position, creative operations function, or traffic role, this role is responsible for actively delivering the work itself and ensuring brand standards are applied accurately and consistently across materials. The role acts as a key conduit for physical brand requests across Creative, Marketing, and Production, helping teams understand where work should be directed and how it moves through the process.

Day-to-day responsibilities include executing and overseeing brand applications across print, point-of-purchase materials, studio environments, tournament assets, swag, and key presentation materials. Working closely with a small, dedicated team, the role ensures projects move efficiently from concept to production with a strong focus on accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery. Success in the role means reducing avoidable revisions through strong execution, providing production teams and external vendors with clear, usable files, and maintaining consistent brand standards across all physical and presentation-based materials.

This role is onsite and located at our Santa Monica office.

In this role, you will:

• Execute physical brand work across print, POP, desk graphics, studios, swag, and event materials
• Design and update key presentation decks for leadership, partners, and internal use, ensuring clarity and brand consistency
• Prepare and manage production-ready files, proofs, revisions, and approvals
• Act as the primary conduit for physical brand requests across the company, helping teams route and scope work appropriately
• Support tournaments and live events with timely updates as requirements change
• Serve as a quality checkpoint for physical and presentation-based brand materials
• Maintain organized files, templates, and reusable assets
• Collaborate closely with the VP, Head of Creative to align execution with creative direction
• Escalate decisions and issues when needed to maintain brand standards and timelines
• Work closely with Marketing and Production to align requirements and delivery
• Work directly with vendors on production files, proofs, and revisions
• Work alongside and provide hands-on guidance to a small, dedicated production and design team

Qualifications:

• Senior experience in hands-on brand execution, production design, or creative operations
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Indesign, Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides, and layout tools
• Solid understanding of print production and physical deliverables
• High attention to detail and sound execution judgment
• Ability to manage multiple requests and timelines
• Clear communicator who works well across teams
