Creative Project Manager

About the Role

We are seeking a disciplined, Traditional Project Manager who thrives at the intersection of rigorous project methodology and creative execution.

• Administer critical team logistics, including meeting cadences, precise documentation of minutes, and diligent follow-up on action items.
• Foster collaboration across departments, managing the expectations of internal customers, creative teams, and external vendors.
• Proactively identify bottlenecks or team conflicts, resolving issues through open communication and alignment with overarching project goals.
• Define and oversee project measures of success, ensuring all deliverables adhere to industry standards and organizational policies.
