About Jessie Saulsbury

Creative production is a lot like folding a fitted sheet—cumbersome, full of moving parts, and requiring patience. But with the right systems in place, everything comes together smoothly, on time, and ready for delivery.As a Senior Manager of Creative Operations, I bring over a decade of experience leading teams, scaling systems, and driving clarity across fast-paced, cross-functional environments. I specialize in building frameworks that let creativity thrive—balancing operational rigor with the flexibility great ideas need to flourish. Calm under pressure and endlessly curious, I’m passionate about creating the structure, clarity, and connection that empower creative teams to do the best work of their careers.Outside of work, I’m either whipping up something delicious, hunting down the best food around the world, or getting lost in an obscure horror movie. Ask me for my current recommendation!

   I lead creative production and operations for a fast-paced, fully remote global studio—supporting 300+ projects a year with a 95% on-time delivery rate. I mentor a talented team of producers and PMs, drive cross-functional alignment across Creative, Brand, and Social, and oversee end-to-end project lifecycles from intake through delivery.I manage creative resourcing through live Asana capacity dashboards, optimize vendor budgets, and build scalable workflows that keep teams unblocked and campaigns running smoothly. I’ve designed operational playbooks and AI-enabled Asana frameworks that increased production efficiency by 27% YoY and supported 110% project growth without adding headcount. Passionate about workflow design, automation, and empowering creative teams to do their best work.
