Job description

Grounded in a talent-centric mindset, Maker Lab is a marketing agency designed to build decentralised technology-led agency teams, rooted in collaboration with clients from the ground up. Maker Lab’s cross-functional teams of multidisciplinary specialists are embedded into client teams across digital marketing competencies — from measurement & analytics to content production.

Project Manager

As the Project Manager you will lead the delivery of a new creative production team making bold, social-first content for business audiences across APAC. Working with a team of designers and art directors, you’ll turn briefs into a steady flow of thumb‑stopping content (short-form video series, creator collaborations, carousels, event and festive campaigns) and make sure every piece lands on time, on brief and on brand.

Role:

• Own end-to-end delivery of social-first creative projects, from briefing and planning through production, approvals and handover for publishing.
• Manage recurring video series and creator collaborations, planning around seasonal moments such as festive periods and major industry events.
• Act as the main point of contact between the client’s regional and country marketing teams and the creative team, translating business objectives into clear creative briefs.
• Build and manage production schedules across multiple concurrent projects, identifying risks and dependencies early and keeping work moving.
• Manage intake and prioritisation of incoming requests, balancing always‑on content with campaign and event peaks.
• Coordinate reviews and approvals with stakeholders, including legal and brand checks, across markets.
• Manage creators, production houses, and freelancers: scope, contracts, timelines, and budgets.
• Track and report on project status, resourcing and budget, and continuously improve workflows and processes for the team.
• Support content localisation and adaptation for different markets across the region.

You:

• BA/BS degree or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of project management experience in a creative, social or digital agency, or an in-house content team.
• Proven experience delivering high-volume social content (short-form video, static, carousels) for brands, ideally B2B or technology.
• Strong understanding of social platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok) and what makes content work on each.
• Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities at once.
• Confident managing senior stakeholders and creative teams, including remote teams across countries.
• Experience with project management tools such as Asana, Monday.com, Jira or Workfront.
• Experience working with creators, influencers or production partners is a strong advantage.
• Exceptional verbal and written English communication and presentation skills
