  • Maintain a high standard of organization, attention to detail, and quality control across all deliverables

Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience managing or producing projects in a creative studio/agency or in-house brand environment
  • Experience overseeing multidisciplinary workflows - 2D, 3D, live action, and editorial post-production - for brand campaigns, product launches, social content, digital experiences for leading global brands
  • Proven ability to manage schedules and budgets while supporting the creative process
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong problem-solving abilities and comfort navigating ambiguity
  • High attention to detail and a commitment to craft and execution
  • Familiarity with project management tools and production workflows (specific tools flexible)

What Success Looks Like
