Creative Project Manager

Role overview

SE Creative is hiring a Creative Project Manager to take ownership of work moving through the full creative pipeline. The role focuses on receiving briefs, coordinating resources, and ensuring projects are delivered on schedule and to a consistently high standard for teams across the business as well as external clients.

What makes someone a strong fit

This position is ideal for a highly organised person who enjoys structure, pace, and collaboration. You should be comfortable keeping momentum in a busy environment, handling shifting priorities without losing clarity, and communicating effectively with creatives, commercial teams, and clients. It also suits someone who finds satisfaction in making the behind-the-scenes process run smoothly.

Core responsibilities

You will act as the main coordination hub between Creative, Commercial, and the wider organisation, keeping track of incoming work, upcoming tasks, and available capacity.

• Oversee the full creative calendar across product, marketing, and business projects, making sure priorities align with business objectives, deadlines, and team availability.
• Collect, document, and monitor every creative request in Asana, while managing revisions and changing requirements without disrupting the overall plan.
• Forecast workload, identify resourcing risks early, work with Creative Leadership to rebalance priorities, and arrange freelance or contractor support when activity peaks.
• Maintain Asana as the central workflow platform by keeping it accurate, dependable, and actively adopted across teams and stakeholders.
• Check artwork and final outputs for accuracy, completeness, and readiness before approval, while maintaining strong governance around file naming, version control, licensing, archiving, and asset management.
• Track utilisation, turnaround time, workload forecasts, and delivery outcomes, then translate the data into useful insights.
• Continuously improve systems and processes to reduce rework and create scalable ways of working as creative demand increases.

Qualifications and experience

The role is suited to an exceptional organiser who can manage multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and tight deadlines in a demanding creative environment.

• At least 5 years of experience in Creative Operations, Studio Management, Traffic Management, Resource Management, or a similar creative workflow role.
• A degree or recognised qualification in Design, Business Administration, or a related field.
• Proven ability to handle multiple stakeholders, priorities, and deadlines in a fast-moving creative setting.
• Confidence using project management and workflow tools, with Asana preferred, plus a solid understanding of creative production processes such as design, artwork, and digital asset management.
• Advanced Microsoft Office capability, especially for reporting and analysis; experience with Adobe Creative Cloud is considered an advantage.
