Responsibilities

• Lead complex, multi-workstream projects spanning content strategy, editorial, web development, digital, and paid media — from request through final retrospective.
• Create and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, budgets, and resource allocations; manage scope changes with clear documentation and stakeholder alignment.
• Drive visibility into project health across leadership and stakeholder groups; proactively identify risks, resurface prioritization tensions, and recommend solutions before issues escalate.
• Facilitate cross-functional alignment meetings with clear agendas, defined decision-makers, and actionable outcomes — ensuring the right people are at the right conversations at the right time.
• Design, document, and continuously improve project management processes, workflows, and best practices within Adobe Workfront — including intake, capacity management, and reporting frameworks.
• Model excellence in process discipline and share knowledge to elevate the team's overall operational capability; educate and support our partners and team members to drive economic thinking and better understand our creative process.
• Improve efficiency and transparency by standardizing workflows, briefs, and reporting practices.
• Serve as a Workfront subject-matter expert, driving platform adoption, optimization, and reporting maturity.
• Use data and insights to inform forecasting, resourcing, and operational decisions.
• Evaluate and recommend tools, templates, and methodology improvements that increase efficiency, visibility, and accountability across the creative operations function.
• Collaborate with Creative Direction, Engagement Strategy, Creative and Digital teams to ensure projects are set up for creative and operational success from the start.
• Establish and maintain strong communication with internal business stakeholders, providing consistent updates on project status, milestones, and decisions needed.
• Prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment and respectfully raise awareness when scope, capacity, or timeline expectations are misaligned — followed with an alternative solution that meets a partner's needs.
• Partner with the Director of Creative Operations and Video to inform process improvements across KCM.
