Project Design Manager

The AutoIQ Mission:
Data-Driven, People-Powered

AutoIQ isn't just another marketing agency. We are a leading automotive service marketing technology company. We leverage proprietary data solutions to give dealerships an unfair advantage in the service drive.

But here’s the best part: while our tech is sophisticated, our culture is grounded. We believe in working hard, winning big, and actually having fun while we do it. We’re a team of automotive enthusiasts and tech geeks who love seeing our dealer partners succeed.

We’re looking for a Project Design Manager who can bridge the gap between creative execution and seamless project management.
This is a unique dual focus role
: you will lead the design department’s traffic and project workflows, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks, while actively rolling up your sleeves to handle production-based design iterations yourself.

You will be the engine that keeps our creative department running at peak efficiency, turning data-driven insights into high-impact, polished marketing assets for our dealer partners.

• Lead the Traffic
  :
  Act as the primary project manager for the design department, establishing workflows, setting timelines, and keeping the team aligned and on schedule.
• Execute and Iterate
  :
  Jump into the design file yourself to handle high-volume, production-based design iterations, ensuring brand consistency across various templates and formats.
• Optimize the Process
  :
  Standardize design templates and asset management to make the creation of localized and data-driven marketing pieces fast and flawless.
• Collaborate and Translate
  :
  Work closely with account management and product teams to translate campaign data and strategy into clean, conversion-focused visual layouts.
• Enjoy the Ride
  :
  Contribute to a high-energy culture where wins are celebrated and your operational insights actually shape how the department grows.

• An Organized Creative
  :
  You have 4+ years of experience in design, with a proven track record of managing project workflows, deadlines, and creative traffic.
• A Production Ninja
  :
  You excel at production-based design. You know how to take an existing concept and efficiently roll out variations, resizes, and iterations without losing attention to detail.
• Tech & Tool Fluent
  :
  You are highly proficient in industry-standard design tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, etc.) and project management platforms (Asana (Trello), , or similar).
• Automotive or Agency Familiar
  :
  Ideally, you’ve worked in a fast-paced agency or automotive marketing environment and understand how to manage high-volume asset creation.

At AutoIQ, we believe that high-level work deserves high-level support. While we are a precision-focused engineering firm, our culture is built on collaboration, growth, and the energy of a team that actually enjoys working together.

• Salary range: $60-65k starting salary.
• 100% Company-Paid Benefits: We’ve got you covered. AutoIQ pays 100% of your premiums for Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance.
• Investing in Your Future: A generous 401(k) matching program to help you build long-term wealth while you help us build the future of automotive marketing.
• Work-Life Balance: Paid Time Off (PTO) because we know that the best teammates are the ones who have time to recharge.
• The "Phoenix Pulse": This is a full-time, in-office position based at our North Phoenix, AZ headquarters. You’ll be working in a high-energy, collaborative environment where your ideas are heard, and your wins are celebrated in person.
