Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in creative production, program management or project management within an agency, technology company or in-house creative organization.
• Experience managing rapid-turn digital, web, editorial, design and motion deliverables.
• Strong task-management, trafficking and production-planning skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and a strong eye for creative and technical QA.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, make informed decisions and navigate ambiguity.
• Experience managing multiple concurrent priorities across distributed teams.
• Strong understanding of creative workflows, review cycles, asset specifications, version control and delivery requirements.
• Ability to distinguish critical issues from lower-priority feedback and keep work moving.

• Maintain project trackers, production schedules, status reports and delivery documentation.
• Traffic work across design, motion, editorial, technical and client teams.
• Prioritize requests based on urgency, complexity, available capacity and business need.
• Confirm that briefs, source materials, specifications and required approvals are in place before production begins.
• Coordinate handoffs across locations and shifts, documenting current status, decisions, open questions and next actions.
• Use sound judgment to determine when work should be completed within the regional team rather than creating an unnecessary cross-shift handoff.
• Consolidate feedback, clarify conflicting comments and recommend practical resolution paths.
• Conduct producer-level QA for completeness, accuracy, specifications, naming conventions, version control and alignment with the approved brief.
• Ensure final assets are packaged, documented and delivered through the appropriate channels.
• Monitor timelines and risks, proactively communicating issues and proposing solutions.
• Operate independently, using sound judgment to move work forward when direction is incomplete or priorities shift.
• Partner with creative and production leads to improve workflows, templates and team processes.
• Use approved AI and production tools to support organization, documentation, consistency and efficiency.
• Maintain discretion when working with confidential and highly sensitive information.
