WHY DONUT STUDIOS?

At New Engen, we help brands grow, not just bigger, but smarter. We’re a digital marketing agency that drives meaningful impact across the entire customer journey by integrating media, creative, analytics, influencer, and retail strategies into performance-driven campaigns.

Donut Studios is our in-house creative studio, purpose-built to craft high-performing, platform-native, and digital content for the world’s most ambitious brands. As a key part of New Engen’s suite of specialized solutions, alongside offerings like the Acorn Creator Suite — Donut Studios helps unlock breakthrough creative that drives results, fast.

We’re a collaborative group of strategists, content creators, copywriters, editors, designers, account strategists, and more who are all in on helping brands, and each other, thrive. We work hard, stay humble, and build with purpose.

Manage day-to-day project timelines, task tracking, and creative workflows using Workfront, Asana, and Notion ensuring deliverables stay on schedule from brief through final delivery.

AWS operates on an agile model — daily standups and other agile ceremonies are a standing expectation. You’ll run or participate in sprint ceremonies, manage backlogs, and adapt scope in short, iterative cycles depending on your workstream (e.g., two-day turnarounds for embedded/quick-turn work, two-week sprints for always-on support).

Own the cadence of project updates and delivery forecasts. This role requires both strong client-facing communication (representing the engagement professionally to AWS stakeholders, under the New Engen brand) and strong internal communication (keeping creative, strategy, and cross-functional teammates aligned on priorities, timelines, and next steps).

Coordinate creative assignments across the full project lifecycle. Depending on workstream, this may include coordinating global event delivery across time zones (GMT, EST, APJ), managing tight SLAs and late-breaking content, or supporting on-site production logistics (e.g., re:Invent).

Monitor pod budget and monthly burn-rate reporting; track scope and spend through the PO → IDP → campaign → work-order structure, flagging when net-new work requires an amended work order.

Maintain accurate project trackers, monitor timelines, identify potential risks early, and proactively communicate issues before they impact delivery. Own escalation handling for your pod.

Partner with creatives, strategists, and clients to keep everyone aligned on project status, expectations, deliverables, and priorities across a large, cross-functional team.

Support the implementation of AI-powered workflows, automation, and operational improvements that help teams work more efficiently.

Remove day-to-day project roadblocks, elevate larger issues when needed, and help keep momentum across multiple deliverables and deadlines.

Work closely with the Senior/Director PM to strengthen your project management skills, complete AWS‑specific onboarding (badging, Workfront training), and continue building your operational expertise.
