Who We Are
We take on the most complex political, cultural, and social challenges. Even when the path forward is rough or uncertain, we start with “what if we…” and keep going until change is possible.
How We Work
We’ve built an agency that looks different. Our team is shaped by varied economic and cultural backgrounds and comes from the communities we engage with. We are comfortable with the unknown, the unknowable, and the counterintuitive. In fact, we are energized by difficult challenges.
Integrated Project Manager, Creative & Digital
- Support integrated creative and digital projects from kickoff to final delivery, ensuring alignment across design, video, digital, and communications teams.
- Serve as the primary operational contact for timelines, deliverables, and budgets for a dedicated portfolio of 2–4 client accounts (scaling up over your first few months).
- Maintain financial tracking, monitor scopes, allocations, and budget health across various pricing structures, including retainers, hourly engagements, and project-based work.
- Track team bandwidth, manage resource forecasting, and optimize utilization to prevent burnout and ensure balanced workloads.
- Care for seamless intake for new clients and freelancers, setting up project trackers, email aliases, and tools (e.g., Harvest, Rippling).
- Support the sourcing, onboarding, and day-to-day management of freelance partners and external vendors.
- Identify operational gaps and build scalable solutions (SOPs, templates, intake forms, internal wikis) where none currently exist.
- Refine approval paths, handoff processes, and time-tracking consistency across cross-functional verticals.
- Socialize project management best practices and lead internal trainings to help teams adopt more efficient ways of working.
Qualifications
- 4–7 Years of Relevant Experience: Background in project management, creative operations, production, or account management.
- Agency-Paced Track Record: Deep familiarity with fast-paced environments (creative agency, digital studio, branding shop, or integrated communications firm).
- Creative Workflow Fluency: Solid understanding of the workflows for brand strategy, digital design, web/UI processes, video/content production, and integrated campaigns.
- The "Builder" Mindset: Demonstrated experience architecting and launching operational systems, templates, and SOPs from scratch—not just maintaining pre-existing ones.
- Tech Stack Savvy: Proficient in project management and tracking tools (e.g., Asana, Harvest, Airtable, Monday, Smartsheet) and digitally fluent enough to experiment with AI tools to optimize workflows.
- Master of Momentum: Proven ability to juggle multiple concurrent workstreams, map tight timelines, and keep diverse stakeholders aligned.
- Proactive & Adaptive: A sharp instinct for spotting project risks early, adapting to shifting priorities, and bringing calm, flexible problem-solving to ambiguous situations.
- Low-Ego Collaborator: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with a natural ability to build relationships across different creative disciplines and seniority levels.
- Previous experience in advocacy, social impact, cultural change, or mission-driven communications work.
