  • Optimize Creative Operations: Manage seasonal project intake and prioritization to maximize efficiency without compromising creative quality, leveraging our systems to support and enhance processes.

  • Own the Workback: Build and maintain detailed workback schedules that map every milestone deliverable from kickoff to delivery, ensuring alignment and visibility across marketing, creative, and production teams.

  • Drive Accountability: Track progress against timelines, proactively identifying risks and implementing solutions to keep projects on track-holding teams accountable to dependencies, decisions, and deadlines.

  • Facilitate Communication: Ensure stakeholders are informed, aligned, and empowered to make timely decisions and action through clear, consistent communication.

  • Continuously Improve: Lead post-project retrospectives to capture learnings, refine workflows, and elevate operational excellence across the creative organization.

YOU HAVE

  • Extensive Experience: 8+ years in creative operations, program management, or production management, ideally with agency experience and a proven ability to navigate complex, fast-paced environments.

  • Leadership Across Complexity: Skilled at guiding multi-stakeholder projects from concept to consumer.

  • Workback Mastery: Deep and proven expertise in building and managing complex workback schedules for omnichannel and regional nuanced campaigns.

  • Tool Proficiency: Mastery of project management platforms such as AirTable, with a talent for turning complexity into clarity.

  • Exceptional Communicator: Able to translate creative vision into actionable plans, keeping diverse teams aligned and accountable.

  • Proactive Problem Solver: Anticipates challenges before they arise and implements solutions that keep projects moving forward.
