Brand Project Manager; Governance

Overview

We are looking for a proactive, detail‑obsessed Brand Project Manager to serve as a vital guardian of our client’s brand. This isn’t just about moving tasks through a pipeline; you will be the unofficial "spokesperson" for the brand’s visual and tonal identity.

In this role you will support the Brand Governance team to ensure that every touchpoint—from sponsorship logos to internal websites—reflects the core values of service, loyalty, honesty, and integrity. You will manage day‑to‑day inquiries, guide stakeholders through brand refreshes and strategy with a high level of professionalism and sense of urgency.

• Brand Stewardship & Governance:
  Act as the primary gatekeeper for brand standards. Review and log requests for brand approvals related to sponsor ships, third‑party partnerships, and new product launches.
• The Internal Expert:
  Manage the daily intake of brand inquiries via our internal site. You will learn our client’s brand guidelines "like the back of your hand" to provide instant, accurate guidance.
• The "Strategic Pivot":
  Communicate complex brand requirements to stakeholders and employees with a balance of firmness and positivity. You must be able to explain why a request might not align with standards and provide a creative path forward.
• Digital Product Support:
  Assist in the ongoing enhancement of the site, to ensure internal teams have the best tools to stay on‑brand.
• Project Operations:
  Organize cross‑functional meetings, build and maintain project roadmaps, and prepare executive‑level status recaps for the Brand Governance leadership team.
• Administrative Support:
  Coordinate with partners to ensure the department’s operations remain seamless.

• The "Brand Eye":
  You must have a deep understanding of branding and recognition on what is allowed and not.
• High‑Stakes Communication:
  Exceptional written and verbal skills.
• Agency
  
  Experience:
  
  While they are a corporate team, they value the pace and creative "hustle" of an agency background.
• Proactive Problem Solver:
  You don’t wait for instructions. You see a problem and work with your team to solve it!

• Education:
  
  B.A. or B.S. in Marketing, Communications, or Business.
• Experience:
  • 2+ years in Project Management or Brand Stewardship.
  • 1+ years in a corporate environment.
  • Experience with enterprise project management tools is a major plus.
• Technical:
  Proficiency in MS Office (Charts/Formulas). Experience with style guides and brand governance workflows.

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $34 to $39. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
