About the Role
We are looking for a Creative Project Manager to serve as the Project Puzzle Master for a multi-brand creative team operating across three overlapping seasonal calendars. This role ensures all creative projects stay on track despite delays, shifting priorities, and last-minute adjustments. You will work cross-functionally with design, marketing, content, and production teams to maintain seamless workflows and deliver assets on time.
This role requires a highly organized and proactive problem-solver who excels at managing competing priorities, keeping workflows efficient, and ensuring the creative team operates at peak performance. While you will have the autonomy to make day-to-day workflow adjustments, significant project scope or timeline changes should be escalated for leadership approval. You will also own key KPIs related to on-time creative delivery, workflow efficiency, DAM (Digital Asset Management) system organization, and expense tracking.
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, an excellent communicator, and thrives in a fast-moving environment where creative and business needs are constantly evolving. This is a mid-level, hands-on role—perfect for someone who enjoys keeping projects organized, aligning teams, and ensuring creative work gets delivered efficiently.
