Job description

At Movado Group, we are committed to building the strongest brands in the industry and we are passionate about what we do. Our people are fueled by a creative spirit and a drive for excellence that are reflected in every aspect of our business. We offer the watch industry a compelling strategic vision and track record of sustained growth and we offer our employees unparalleled opportunities for career advancement. We invite you to come share in our success. Our people are the cornerstone of business – we invite you to grow your career with us.

The Creative Project Manager independently leads the planning and delivery of a portfolio of concurrent creative projects across brands and channels. The role translates business objectives into executable project plans, establishes clear ownership and dependencies, drives stakeholder decisions and approvals, and manages risks and changes from intake through final delivery. Work may include campaigns, product launches, site and ecommerce initiatives, email, paid media, retail, and global market requests.

Responsibilities

• Project intake and planning – Own intake and validate brief readiness before scheduling creative execution. Resolve missing or conflicting objectives, deliverables, specifications, product details, copy, business priorities, and timing with requestors and designated decision makers. Develop integrated project plans and workback schedules with milestones, dependencies, review cycles, resource requirements, delivery criteria, and named owners. Confirm commitments with functional leads and project stakeholders.
• Delivery and stakeholder accountability – Lead projects from approved brief through final approval, delivery, and closeout. Initiate follow‑up, secure commitments, and drive completion across design, copy, photography, video, CGI, and retouching workstreams. Facilitate kickoffs, status meetings, and working sessions. Document decisions, actions, owners, and deadlines, including changes agreed outside formal meetings, and communicate them to affected stakeholders. Manage review and approval cycles; consolidate feedback, resolve conflicting direction with appropriate decision makers, and verify that final approved deliverables reach the designated teams and systems.
• Portfolio capacity and risk management – Maintain visibility into active and planned work, workload, and dependencies. Assess requests against business priorities and available capacity; recommend sequencing and resource tradeoffs with Creative leadership. Identify risks early, develop mitigation and recovery plans, and resolve operational blockers within delegated authority. Escalate decisions requiring changes to approved priorities, resources, budget, or scope with options and recommendations. Evaluate scope and timing changes, document their impact, obtain required approvals, and update schedules, assignments, and stakeholder communications.
• Workflow ownership and reporting – Maintain Asana as the current system of record for project scope, ownership, milestones, status, risks, decisions, and approvals. Develop and improve templates, intake standards, and workflows. Report project and portfolio health, including milestone performance, approval delays, rework drivers, capacity conflicts, and corrective actions. Use findings to improve delivery predictability and process adoption. If production requests would routinely exceed the planned allocation or interfere with project delivery, the Project Manager identifies the capacity impact and works with Creative leadership to reprioritize or reassign the work.
• Decision Making and Working Relationships – Independently manages day‑to‑day project execution within approved briefs, priorities, resources, and delegated authority. Recommends portfolio tradeoffs and facilitates resolution across Creative, Brand, Marketing, ecommerce, Retail, production partners, and other stakeholders. Creative leadership and designated business owners retain final authority over creative direction, business priorities, staffing, and spending approvals. Support additional responsibilities, cross‑functional initiatives, and ad‑hoc projects as needed to meet evolving business needs and organizational priorities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree
• 4+ years of project management experience, including independently managing multiple concurrent creative or marketing projects from intake through delivery, including integrated schedules, stakeholder approvals, dependencies, and scope changes.
• Proficiency with Asana or a comparable project management platform, including workflow configuration, portfolio visibility, and reporting; ability to learn the team’s systems.
• Strong planning, analytical, written communication, meeting facilitation, and negotiation skills.
• Excellent communication skills; ability to translate business requirements into creative solutions.
• Ability to work independently in a fast‑paced, global environment.
• Working knowledge of creative development, digital asset requirements, and production and post‑production workflows sufficient to plan dependencies and coordinate specialist owners.
• Ability to evaluate incomplete information, ask clarifying questions, recommend practical solutions, and elevate decisions with clear business implications.
• Preferred experience supporting multiple brands, ecommerce or site initiatives, product launches, and geographically distributed stakeholders.
