This role is based in the US, reporting to the Associate Director of Creative Operations in the UK.
Responsibilities
- Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of creative projects, from brief intake and kick-off through to final delivery, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
- Receive allocated briefs, set up kick-off calls with the creative team and marketing stakeholders, and clarify deliverables to get projects off to a strong start.
- Build and manage detailed work-back plans for every project, mapping out timelines, milestones, and review stages in collaboration with the creative team.
- Act as the day-to-day point of contact for marketing stakeholders on your projects, keeping them informed on project status, timings, and upcoming review milestones.
- Coordinate and facilitate meetings, reviews, and cross-functional calls, preparing agendas, capturing actions, and following up to ensure momentum is maintained.
- Field questions and feedback from marketing stakeholders, triaging where necessary and routing to the right person within the creative team.
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing competing priorities with a structured approach.
- Work closely with the broader Creative Operations team to flag any capacity or timeline risks early.
- Maintain Asana as the single source of truth across all active projects, ensuring tasks, timelines, and ownership are always up to date.
- Project scope spans a broad range of creative output, including social content, CRM, and experiential work.
Requirements

- 3+ years of project management experience, ideally with some time spent in-house.

- Experience taking a brief from kick-off through to delivery, building work-back plans, and overseeing delivery through to final sign-off.
- Proactive and highly organized, with excellent attention to detail and strong time management skills.
- Experience using project management tools such as Asana and comfortable using Slack for day-to-day team communication.
- Interest in experimenting with AI tools to improve workflows and create efficiencies in project management.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple projects and priorities without compromising on quality.
Skills
- Strong communicator confident working alongside senior clients or marketing stakeholders, keeping them informed and managing expectations.
