Information Technology$85k–$95k/yrFull-time

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage end-to-end project timelines and workback schedules across multiple simultaneous campaign tracks, ensuring milestones are met and risks are flagged early.
  • Serve as the day-to-day operational point of contact between the Global Brand team and internal stakeholders including regional marketing teams, product leads, and agency partners.
  • Build and maintain clear project tracking systems using tools such as Asana, Jira, or equivalent platforms — ensuring the full team has real-time visibility into status, ownership, and dependencies.
  • Develop regular reporting rhythms to provide timely updates to the Campaign Team Lead and Brand Lead on campaign progress, blockers, and upcoming decision points.
  • Support budget tracking and forecasting for global brand campaigns, maintaining accurate records of spend against plan and flagging variances proactively.
  • Cook up briefing and intake processes to ensure briefs are complete, aligned, and distributed to the right partners at the right time.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of team workflows and operating processes — identifying inefficiencies and proposing solutions that increase team velocity and output quality.
  • Ensure consistent application of project management standards and documentation practices across all active workstreams.

Basic Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in project management, marketing operations, or brand/creative production — ideally within a global consumer brand, agency, or tech environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications

  • PMP, Agile, or equivalent certification is a plus, not a requirement.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with overlapping timelines, stakeholders, and deliverables.
  • Proficiency in project management tools (Asana, Jira, Monday.com, or similar); comfort adopting new platforms as needed.

Skills

  • Strong organizational skills with a bias toward structure, clarity, and follow-through — you close loops and don't let things fall through the cracks.
  • Clear, confident communicator — written and verbal — with the ability to manage up, across, and externally without losing the thread.
  • Collaborative by nature; able to work with creative, strategic, and operational stakeholders without defaulting to any one mode.
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity — especially during a period of organizational evolution — while still bringing order and momentum.
  • Foundational understanding of marketing metrics, campaign anatomy, and creative production timelines.
  • Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture; knows when to escalate and when to solve.
