You will partner closely with Creative Strategy, Client Partnership, Media, channel teams, and Creative Studio to maintain clarity on scope, priorities, timing, dependencies, feedback, and approvals.

Key Responsibilities

Client-Centric

• Partner with Creative Studio, client leads, and channel teams to understand client priorities, project objectives, deliverables, timelines, and approval requirements.
• Build and maintain clear project plans, including scope, milestones, dependencies, owners, status, risks, and next steps.
• Ensure creative work is delivered on time, on scope, and in a format that supports strong client experiences.
• Anticipate delivery risks, scope changes, competing priorities, and approval delays; recommend practical solutions and elevate early when needed.
• Support client-ready timeline, workflow, and status communication through the appropriate account or creative lead.

Product-Led

• Use project-management, resourcing, communication, and workflow tools to improve visibility, consistency, and efficiency across creative delivery.
• Maintain accurate project documentation, including briefs, timelines, workback plans, intake requirements, approvals, feedback, and final deliverables.
• Identify opportunities to improve intake, briefing, handoffs, workflow design, templates, and project reporting.
• Use AI and automation thoughtfully to reduce manual coordination, improve documentation quality, and strengthen project visibility.

Data & Measurement-Driven

• Track delivery performance across timelines, project volume, resourcing, revisions, scope changes, capacity, and recurring workflow bottlenecks.
• Use operational data and team feedback to identify opportunities to reduce rework, improve prioritization, and increase delivery reliability.
• Ensure project plans reflect the appropriate level of complexity, review time, quality control, and stakeholder alignment required for the work.
