Director of Physical Brand Production
Tennis Channel
Santa Monica, CAThis is a Full Time Job
This is a hands-on creative and design role responsible for executing 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.

• 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
