A Taste of What You'll Do

Join Gallo Creative and help bring some of the world's most recognized wine and spirits brands to life across a portfolio of 50+ labels. As an Associate Project Manager, you'll support the execution of creative projects spanning packaging renovations, brand development, activations, POS, and digital. You'll work closely with Brand Marketing, Commerce Marketing, and Corporate clients to scope projects, build timelines, coordinate resources, and manage budgets, keeping work moving from kickoff through final delivery.

Day to day that looks like partnering with clients to understand what they need, helping define project plans, flagging risks before they become problems, and keeping cross-functional creative teams aligned and on schedule. You'll sit at the intersection of creative, production, and strategy, which means you'll get a front-row seat to how brands actually get built: from the brief to the shelf.

The right person for this role is genuinely curious about how brands come to life. They care about the work beyond just the timeline. They want to understand why a package looks the way it does, what makes an activation land, and how a brand world shows up consistently across every touchpoint. They're organized and detail-oriented, but also comfortable thinking on their feet when priorities shift.

If you're looking to build a career at the intersection of creative and brand strategy, and you want to do it inside one of the largest family-owned wineries in the world, this is a great place to start.
