Granum brings together three of the most trusted software names in the industry — LMN, SingleOps, and Greenius — into one powerful software ecosystem. More than just a software company, Granum works alongside its clients to implement systems for estimating, scheduling, crew training, invoicing, and payments, blending technology with hands-on onboarding and human support. The company's mission is to help industry professionals unlock their potential and achieve their most important goals, all united by the belief that its clients’ success is not just a milestone, but a shared mission.

Our environment is highly collaborative, innovative, and supportive, with a shared commitment to having fun while making an impact. We live by our core values: We Before Me, Bias to Act, The Extra 1%, Accountable to Outcomes, Unconditional Transparency, and Forgiveness . If this resonates with you, we’d love to meet you and explore how you can help us build the future of the green industry!

Role Purpose

Run the creative function day to day so that brand and creative output ships on deadline and at a consistent standard — without the EVP acting as the bottleneck. The EVP owns brand direction and holds the creative pen on high-stakes work; this role organizes the team, enforces the standard, manages the people, and executes. It is an operator's seat: part player, mostly coach.
Core Responsibilities

-
Own creative intake, prioritization, and deadlines across every channel, so nothing stalls waiting on the EVP.

-
Manage and develop the Lead Creative and the freelance roster; set expectations, give feedback, and hold the team to delivery.

-
Build and maintain creative systems — Figma component libraries, templates, and brand-asset governance so quality scales without bespoke effort every time.

-
Act as guardian of brand consistency — enforcing the EVP's standard across departments and catching drift before it ships.

-
Partner cross-functionally with demand generation, product, events, and partnerships to translate their needs into creative that lands on time.

-
Stay hands-on on tier-1 work — roughly 30% of the role is producing in Figma, not just directing.

-
Drive adoption of AI creative tooling to lift team throughput.

Must-Haves

-
Advanced Figma — building systems and component libraries, not just finished deliverables.

-
Proven management of a creative team, plus real project / traffic management under high volume.

-
Demonstrated record of organization and on-time delivery across competing priorities.

-
Comfortable operating as a strong second to a senior leader who holds brand direction — confident running the function, not fighting to own the strategy.

Nice-to-Haves

- Experience standing up or overhauling a creative-operations function.

- Background spanning both in-house and agency env
