• Translate ideas into clear project plans: define scope, deliverables, timelines, budgets, and milestones with key partners.

• Build and manage detailed schedules; drive the day-to-day workflow across internal creative, production, post-production, and external vendors.

• Traffic work through project management systems, track progress, and keep teams informed so nothing falls through the cracks.

• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration, anticipate shifts in priorities, and quickly adjust plans while maintaining clarity for all stakeholders.

• Monitor quality, productivity, and costs, proactively identifying bottlenecks and recommending smarter, more efficient ways of working.

• Develop and roll out process tools such as creative brief templates, documentation, and repeatable workflows to streamline execution.

• Run post-mortems to capture learnings and continuously improve how the creative team operates.

• Support the organization and governance of creative assets (imagery, photo, video, audio, fonts) in alignment with DAM/CMS best practices.

• Comfort working under tight deadlines while maintaining high standards for quality and service.

• Proven experience building processes, documentation, and templates that help teams move faster and smarter.

• Strong understanding of print, digital, photo, and motion production processes.

• Experience managing creative digital assets and working within DAM/CMS environments, including metadata, taxonomy, and SEO-informed organization.

• Ability to design logical data structures (architecture maps, naming conventions) that make assets easy to find and use.

• A track record of elevating creative operations and increasing output without sacrificing creativity.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with both internal stakeholders and external partners.

• High ownership and accountability for planning, delivery, and follow-through on every project.

Background & Experience
