Responsibilities
- Department Relationship Management: Own the day-to-day operational relationship with an assigned cluster of departments. Learn their workflows, lead times, tools, and pain points. Become the person they trust to represent their status accurately.
- Release Readiness Monitoring: Track workability status across all active releases. Surface gaps in clearances, masters, artwork, agreements, and delivery timelines before they become blockers.
- Budget Visibility & Tracking: Monitor campaign spend against approved budgets across the roster. Surface divergence, flag overages, and track budget status in real time so that the people who own those decisions have full information. Campaign Ops does not approve or deny spend — it ensures the numbers are visible and accurate.
- Cross-Department Flagging: Identify when an issue in one department affects another. Surface the connection, prompt the teams involved, and track resolution.
- Meeting Support: Contribute to cross-department meeting preparation, transcript processing, and action item tracking. Help produce Goal Briefs and meeting notes for distribution.
- Artist Briefing Support: Assist in producing artist briefings and prep packages for new signings and key roster moments. Compile information from multiple departments into a single, clear picture.
- Data Layer Maintenance: Keep shared operational data current and accurate across Airtable and internal dashboards. Ensure department status is reflected in real time.
- Escalation: When an issue cannot be resolved at the department level, route to the Campaign Operations Lead for consolidation. The team speaks as a unit.
- Tool & System Awareness: Stay current on internal tools, Sony enterprise systems, and department-specific platforms. Surface what exists, who uses it, and where there are gaps or duplication.

- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams. You can translate technical or operational information into clear, concise language for varied audiences.

- You are a motivated self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity.
