• Coordinate requests from Sales, Marketing, and Operations, and communicate schedule changes clearly to stakeholders.
• Participate in weekly priority meetings with Sales coordinators and cross-functional partners.
• Support the Senior Photography Operations Manager and Regional Management on process improvements, including automation tools such as Power Automate, SharePoint, and AI-assisted scheduling.
• Maintain scheduling data and help track KPIs, turnaround times, and coverage gaps.
• Review and organize incoming visual assets to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adherence to quality standards.
• Build working knowledge of OUTFRONT inventory across markets to support route planning and coverage.
• Help update SOPs and training materials as processes evolve.

Your Qualifications

• 2–5 years of experience in operations, scheduling, logistics coordination, creative operations, or a related field.
• Strong organization and communication skills; comfortable coordinating with Sales, field teams, and freelancers.
• Proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, formulas, and working with large datasets); Power Query is a plus.
• Interest in workflow automation tools such as Power Automate; experience with AI-assisted tools is a plus.
• Ability to manage multiple markets and shifting priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
• Flexibility to work West Coast hours when covering for other markets.
• Experience with digital asset management systems; familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite is a plus.
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and dependable.

The salary range for this role is $70,000-$75,000 annually.
