• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills; able to run reviews and present to senior client stakeholders.
• Familiarity with CMS, Adobe/Premiere/PXD tools, content calendars, project tools (Asana/Notion) and analytics platforms.
• Organized, decisive, and comfortable balancing multiple concurrent projects and shifting priorities.
• Passion for and inquisitive about AI and new technologies
