KarmaLab is Reddit’s in-house creative strategy team. We partner with brands and internal sales teams to create Reddit-first creative that is culturally fluent, strategically sound, and built to perform at scale.
As a Senior Creative Program Manager, you will be responsible for how creative work gets done across EMEA. You’ll lead complex creative programs from intake to launch, bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to ambitious ideas. This role sits at the center of creative, strategy, production, and sales, ensuring work moves efficiently without compromising quality. You’ll own program delivery, vendor orchestration, localisation, and operational systems, helping KarmaLab scale its impact across markets. You’re not just managing timelines, you’re solving problems, improving how teams work, and building repeatable models that raise the bar for the entire organisation.
This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, thinks proactively, and sees operational excellence as a creative advantage.
