This is a unique opportunity to shape creator-first programming, product education, and long-form content experiences for a global audience. This role is not about routine project management; it's about orchestrating fast-paced, platform-native work that spans social media, long-form video, creative content, and real-time cultural moments.

• Manage production timelines for social content, ensuring agility while maintaining creative integrity and brand guardrails.
• Support fast-turn production projects while managing long-lead strategic initiatives.
• Apply real-time awareness to manage schedules and scope without slowing creative momentum.

Operational & Financial Excellence

• Partner closely with Account Leadership to oversee scope, staffing, budgets, estimates, timelines, and the overall financial health of the engagement.
• Create and maintain accurate project forecasts, scopes, timelines, and resourcing plans.

• Maintain detailed budget tracking and contribute to client status reports.
• Submit accurate, timely records of hours worked and project efforts.

Cross-Functional & Global Collaboration

• Participate in a standing weekly client status meeting (5:30-6:30pm PT), supplemented by ad hoc meetings and working sessions.
• Navigate cross-cultural working relationships and manage workflows spanning global stakeholders across multiple time zones (specifically collaborating with teams in China).
• Build strong relationships across cross-functional teams (creative, strategy, production, social media) and act as the connector.
• Maintain clear communication with the client team—providing frequent updates, owning deliverables, flagging risks, and setting realistic expectations.
• Anticipate roadblocks and surface risks early, proactively developing actionable solutions.
• Foster a positive, collaborative environment where creative excellence and operational rigor thrive.

Qualifications:

• 3-5+ years of project management experience in a creative agency, digital content, or marketing environment.
• Experience managing creative and content workflows for social-first campaigns.

• Client service experience, with diplomacy and clarity in managing priorities and expectations.
• Experience managing global stakeholders across time zones and navigating cross-cultural working relationships is highly preferred.
• Proficient in project management and collaboration tools: Google Workspace, Slack, Keynote/Slides, etc.
• Technically curious, especially about emerging tools like AI, and excited to apply new solutions.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills—with the ability to manage both virtually and in-person.
• Able to manage both granular tasks and big-picture oversight effectively.
• A clear communicator who brings structure, clarity, and calm to chaos.
• Ability to zoom out for the bigger picture and zoom in to fix operational friction points.
• Emotionally intelligent, team-oriented, with empathy and integrity.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to connect creative ambition to operational excellence.
• Self-starter with initiative, flexibility, and a sense of humor.
