Specialist Project Management (CheckMark)

About the role

Your larger team is our internal creative resource, called CheckMark. We’re specialists at our core, which means we know how to think about, write about, design for, and communicate to the extended pet care community. We bring it all together seamlessly through pet-focused, consumer-centric programs, products, and communications. CheckMark is where you’ll find the best of both worlds—the excitement and energy of ad agency life with the benefits of working for a leading corporation. Where else can you find career advancement, global exposure, and continuous training and development—all while flexing your creative and strategic muscles?
