• Lead project kickoffs, design reviews, and stakeholder check-ins while documenting decisions and follow-up items clearly.
• Track milestones for all assigned work and make sure deliverables are completed on schedule and in line with the brief.
• Keep thorough records of project materials, decisions, and updates so the design team and partners have clear visibility.
• Identify blockers early and work with design and business teams to keep projects moving forward.
• Help improve creative workflows, intake processes, trackers, tools, and asset storage systems in partnership with Communications Strategy and Operations.
• Look for ways to use AI or automation to reduce admin work and make project operations more scalable.
• Build an inclusive, practical, and solution-focused project environment where contributors feel informed and supported.
• Manage competing priorities across a complex stakeholder network, set expectations, communicate changes quickly, and help resolve conflicts.
• Coordinate closely with designers, writers, business stakeholders, and communications partners so creative outputs support business priorities.
• Work with leaders across communications and design to keep timelines, capacity, and expectations realistic and mutually understood.
• Partner with communications program owners to ensure deliverables support campaign objectives and reflect strategic intent.

Requirements

• Experience managing creative projects in a fast-moving environment, ideally within a matrixed organization.
• Strong project management capability, including intake handling, scheduling, workflow design, and stakeholder coordination.
• Solid understanding of design processes, brand systems, and how creative production moves from start to finish.
• Excellent attention to detail, with the ability to spot issues early, assess risks, and maintain quality standards.
• Clear communication skills with the ability to interpret requirements, give constructive feedback, and support collaboration.
• Ability to juggle multiple priorities, manage several workloads at once, and work with urgency and accountability.
