With our continued growth, and expansion into the US Market, we're seeking Creative Project Manager to join our Brand Marketing team in our Morgantown, PA offices, located just a mile off PA Turnpike exit 298.

The Creative Project Manager is the operational connector between our Brand Marketing and Creative teams — the person who keeps product launches, creative deliverables, and video productions moving with focus, clarity, and momentum.

This role owns the master product launch calendar (about 60% of focus) and oversees all video production projects (about 40%), ensuring both run smoothly, stay on budget, and align with brand priorities. Working closely with team members across the U.S., Europe, and Asia to manage timelines, resources, and deliverables, and keeping everyone on track in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
