Creative Project Manager with DAM Experience

Industry: Manufacturing / Industrial Technology

Please note, this is a NON-IT role

Our client is a family-owned leader with over 100 years of innovation across critical industries including electrical, aerospace, data communications, and construction. Known for developing essential products and practical technologies, the company continues to evolve to meet the needs of modern trades and industries. Over the past 6 months, our client has built a robust Integrated Marketing Group (IMG) to support growth initiatives in a technical world that is ever evolving which is why they are seeking a Creative Project Manager with DAM Experience to improve and scale how marketing work is executed across the IMG, supporting multiple business units. This role will be critical in addressing increasing marketing complexity, volume, and cross-functional demands. The position will own and optimize core marketing systems, drive creative project execution, and establish governance and best practices, ensuring efficient, high-quality delivery across 30 active projects at any given time while maintaining their DAM system.

Key Responsibilities

Creative Project Management using Monday.com - 70% of the role

  • Serve as the operational lead for marketing project management
  • Optimize Monday.com for project intake, workflows, dashboards, and visibility
  • Manage and track 30 concurrent marketing projects (70% digital / 30% print)
  • Drive cross-functional alignment, approvals, and accountability
  • Identify bottlenecks and implement process improvements
  • Ensure end-to-end execution and documentation across teams

Digital Asset Management (DAM) using Aprimo - 30% of the role

  • Own and administer the Aprimo DAM platform
  • Design and optimize metadata, taxonomy, workflows, permissions, and governance
  • Establish and enforce asset governance standards across teams and business units
  • Improve asset usability, compliance, and reuse through ongoing optimization
  • Manage user access, training, and adoption

Why This Role Matters

This role fills a critical gap between execution and strategy, ensuring marketing systems, workflows, and projects operate efficiently at scale. Without this position, the organization risks inefficiencies, inconsistent governance, and reduced ROI on key platforms. By bringing dedicated ownership and operational discipline, this role will enable the marketing team to work smarter, faster, and with greater impact.

Qualifications

  • 7 years of experience in marketing operations, DAM, project management, or similar roles
  • Hands-on experience with:

    • Metadata, taxonomy, governance, and content lifecycle management
