Who You Are
- A seasoned project leader who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary creative work. You're equally at home driving the day-to-day details of delivery and shaping the bigger picture.
- A strategic orchestrator, not just a master of timelines. You solve tough problems and communicate solutions with clarity; your presence in a room (or on a Zoom) reassures internal teams and clients alike that they're in expert hands.
- Equal parts diplomat, strategist, and executor. You stay cool under pressure, read the room, and know when to push, when to listen, and how to build lasting trust.
- Genuinely excited by the role technology, especially AI, can play in creative operations. Curious, proactive, and eager to test tools that make work smarter, faster, and more adaptive.
- Serve as a key point of contact for internal teams and clients.
- Partner closely with the Client Director to shape the strategic direction of projects and clearly communicate that vision across disciplines.
- Drive full-cycle project management across a variety of engagements in branding, websites, packaging, content creation, and beyond.
- Translate creative ideas into executable plans, managing scope, budgets, and resources with both rigor and flexibility.
- Act as the voice of the business to help navigate complex client feedback, shifting priorities, and evolving scopes.
- Identify risks and develop mitigation plans that keep projects on track and relationships intact.
- 6–8 years of experience in project management within a creative agency or consultancy environment.
- Proven ability to manage and deliver complex creative projects across disciplines.
- Demonstrated success in working with clients; you're persuasive, calm, and always prepared.
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills; you know how to bring clients along the journey.
- Adept at juggling multiple priorities in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with grace and clarity.
- Strong strategic instincts; you understand how creative work drives business goals and can help clients see the same.
- Experience with scoping, resourcing, and budget management, with a pragmatic and entrepreneurial approach to constraints.
