Product Development Project

We’re looking for a sharp, organized, and creative-minded PMO Lead to bring structure, strategy, and visibility to a fast-paced, high-volume art and design company. This role is central to driving new product development, custom creative projects, and internal operations — ensuring every initiative moves from concept to completion with clarity, accountability, and alignment across teams.

You’ll collaborate daily with creative directors, product developers, and artists to lead cross-functional planning and delivery while also establishing and maintaining PMO frameworks that support long-term growth. If you thrive in creative chaos but live for process improvement, this role will give you the platform to lead, build, and refine.

• Implement and evolve a phase-gate framework to track project stages, risk, and approvals

Team & Workflow Management

• Lead and mentor junior to mid-level creative team members on project workflows and PM best practices
• Implement and maintain visibility in Smartsheet for task tracking, dependencies, and project health
• Monitor and report on resource allocation and team bandwidth, adjusting plans proactively

• Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for product launches and recurring initiatives
• Manage the intake, planning, and execution of cross-functional projects with clearly defined scopes and deliverables
• Identify inefficiencies and implement process improvements using PM best practices and tools
• Provide regular project health reporting, KPIs, and risk assessments to leadership

Training & Governance

• Promote a culture of accountability, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration
• Coach creative staff on project timelines, ownership, and task management
• Support team education through PM skill-building and tool training sessions

You’re a Fit If You…

• CAPM certification preferred or demonstrated knowledge of PMI standards or Agile project management methodologies.
• Know how to speak both “creative” and “operational” languages
• Are confident leading both big-picture planning and detailed execution
• Have strong experience with Smartsheet and a working knowledge of Photoshop (or similar tools)
• Thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments where systems may need to be built from the ground up
• Have experience coaching or managing junior staff in a project-based setting

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with fine art, wall décor, or large-format print industries
• Background in product development or cross-functional teams coordination
• Experience using Lean or Six Sigma frameworks for creative operations
• Ability to build and manage performance dashboards or KPI tracking tools
