Job summary

H&R Block is seeking an organized Marketing Workflow Manager to own intake for the Creative function, manage the work queue, track capacity, and route work through concepting, production, review, and approvals.

• 5+ years of workflow/traffic management or marketing operations experience.

• Validate briefs are complete, well scoped, and tied to an approved campaign, initiative, or program.
• Confirm audience, message, deliverable list, channel specifications, and required dates before work enters the queue.
• Return incomplete requests to the requester rather than absorbing the gap downstream.
• Track work through concepting, design, copy, and production.
• Route assets through brand, legal, and compliance review and drive approvals to closure.
• Manage handoffs to media, lifecycle, and digital teams for trafficking and deployment.
• Monitor progress against timelines and escalated blockers early.

• Flag misaligned, duplicated, or low-priority requests and conflicts across campaign and always-on work.
• Facilitate tradeoff conversations with GTM Strategy, Marketing Program Managers, and Creative leadership when demand exceeds capacity.

• Provide visibility into available bandwidth to inform resourcing and sequencing decisions.

Job description

About The Role

At H&R Block, we're helping people confidently navigate one of the most important financial moments of the year. Our Creative team produces the work that carries that message across broadcast, digital, social, retail, and our offices. We're looking for an organized, decisive Marketing Workflow Manager to manage how that work comes in, how it gets prioritized, and how it moves to delivery.

In this role, you'll own intake for the Creative function, hold the work queue, track team capacity, and route work through concepting, production, review, and approval. You'll be the person requesters come to for timelines, status, and a straight answer on what is possible and by when.

Two workflow managers share the Creative function as peers, dividing the work between campaign creative and always-on and content, and covering each other as volume requires.

This is not a creative direction role. It's the role that protects the team's ability to do great work by making sure requests arrive complete, priorities are clear, and nothing sits waiting on a decision no one knew was needed. If you enjoy bringing order to high volume and being the person everyone trusts to know where the work stands, we'd love to hear from you.

Day to day, you'll...
