You are a seasoned agency project management professional - someone who has lived and breathed agency timelines, creative workflows, and cross-functional team dynamics. You don't wait to be told what's broken. You spot the problem, build the plan, and communicate it clearly before anyone else has to ask.

• You have deep agency experience and understand how creative, media, and account teams actually work — and where things typically fall apart.
• You are proactive by nature. You anticipate issues, build timelines before they're requested, and flag risks early.
• You are a confident communicator who can manage up, across, and laterally — including holding senior team members accountable without hesitation.
• You are detail-obsessed. Nothing falls through the cracks on your watch.
• You thrive in a fast-paced agency environment where priorities shift, and momentum is everything.
• You are a peer model for other team members - leading by example through creative problem-solving.
• You are a trusted connective thread across creative, media, account, and strategy teams.

• Have 8–12 years of experience in project management within a marketing, creative, or digital agency. Agency experience is required.
• Have hands-on experience managing creative production workflows, media deliverables, and integrated campaign timelines.
• Are fluent in an agency PM tool and can champion adoption across a team.
• Are highly skilled at managing multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously without losing quality or detail.
• Have experience coordinating external resources, including sourcing, onboarding, and managing deliverables.
• Are a proactive communicator who documents decisions, flags issues early, and keeps all stakeholders informed.
• Have experience working alongside senior creatives, media leads, and department heads.

• Own end-to-end project management for assigned client accounts and work streams from kickoff through final delivery.
• Build and maintain detailed project schedules proactively, not reactively — before the team asks for them.
• Maintain real-time visibility into project status, risks, and scope changes, and communicate updates before issues escalate.
• Partner closely with account teams to ensure client-facing deadlines are met and expectations are managed.
• Manage scope documentation, change orders, and project health reporting across all assigned projects.

• Serve as the dedicated PM for creative production — managing the day-to-day workflow of the creative team's client deliverables (design, content, video, etc.).
• Own project management for media work streams — partnering directly with the Head of Media to track deliverables, maintain schedules, and hold the team to established workflows.
• Provide direct, consistent project accountability for department heads who are strong in their discipline but need a skilled PM in their corner to keep things…
