About the role and why it’s unique:

• Drive the execution of creative projects from intake through to final delivery, managing timelines, workflows, and communication across a variety of formats – including digital, video, social, and more.
• Act as a central hub between creative and channel stakeholders to ensure alignment on timelines and expectations.
• Own the creative intake process- review briefs for completeness, assign work based on team capacity, and ensure every project is set up for success from day one.
• Maintain daily visibility into project health by tracking progress, identifying blockers, and proactively flagging resource gaps or shifting priorities.
• Keep teams informed and connected by providing consistent updates to the Director of Creative Operations and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Champion process excellence- help evolve workflows, streamline task handoffs, and ensure every project moves quickly without sacrificing quality or attention to detail.
• Support reporting and visibility by ensuring accurate data input in project systems so leadership can understand project volume, delivery timelines, asset types, and team workload.

Who you are:

• 4+ years of experience in creative project management or marketing production, ideally in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
• A master of managing creative timelines, balancing team bandwidth, and knowing when to flag risks or pivot priorities.
• A deep understanding of the creative development process and the ability to translate high-level strategy into actionable steps.
• Organized without being rigid, balancing structure with adaptability to support ever-changing needs.
• Communicate clearly, effectively, and proactively - keeping everyone informed, aligned, and moving forward.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and thrive when solving problems before they escalate.
• Experience with tools like Monday.com, Asana, or similar, and are fluent in building timelines, trackers, and resourcing plans.
• Energized by collaboration, but not afraid to take ownership and run with things independently.

Even better if you have:

• Experience managing creative production timelines across multiple channels including video, digital, and social.
• Hands-on ownership of creative intake processes, including brief validation, task assignment, and traffic coordination.
• Background in resourcing and effort tracking, with the ability to help prioritize workloads and surface capacity gaps in advance.
• Familiarity with asset QA/QC processes, ISCI code handling for video, and final file classification, naming, and delivery workflows.
• Experience working with and managing freelance or offshore creative resources, including onboarding, asset handoff, and delivery oversight.

Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $95,000 and $110,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.

What we can offer you:

• Unlimited PTO (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before & into the NFL season)
• 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
• A $500 home office allowance
