You’ll work closely with Content + Design, other Marketing teams, internal stakeholders and external vendors to keep multiple projects moving forward at the same time. This role is a good fit for someone who’s comfortable working independently, can see both the details and the bigger picture, and knows when to solve a problem and when to elevate it.

Set clear expectations around timelines and deliverables, including navigating competing priorities and negotiating timelines when required. Support improvements to intake processes, Monday.com workflows, dashboards and reporting.

Marketing operations and process improvement

Identify ways to make Content + Design workflows and processes more effective. Create and maintain project templates, documentation and workflow standards. Recommend improvements to project intake, scheduling, reporting and project management processes. Support broader Marketing and Brand process development and improvements in partnership with the Performance & Enablement Manager.

Vendor and budget coordination

Coordinate vendor processes for Content + Design projects, including estimates, invoicing and deliveries. Track project and vendor costs through COUPA and flag potential budget issues. Coordinate with freelance writers, designers, print vendors and other external partners to ensure project requirements and timelines are met.

WHAT YOU WILL HAVE:

• A bachelor’s degree or diploma in Marketing, Communications or a related field is preferred.
• 3–5 years of experience in project coordination or project management in an agency or corporate environment; agency experience is an asset.
• Demonstrated experience managing projects from concept through completion and coordinating multiple projects at the same time.
• Strong project management and organizational skills, with the ability to build realistic schedules, manage competing priorities and meet deadlines.
• Experience working with multiple teams and stakeholders to move complex projects forward.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, including the confidence to set expectations, negotiate timelines and raise issues when needed.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to identify project risks, dependencies, bottlenecks and workflow issues.
• Experience with Monday.com or a similar project management platform.
• Experience with content management systems and digital asset management is an asset.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook.
• Project management certification such as PMP, CPM or PPM is an asset, but not required.
