  • Coordinate across creative, social, comms, and PA teams to align workstreams, manage dependencies, lead status meetings, and track deliverables — flagging risks early and driving resolution of blockers
  • Support strategic planning processes including roadmapping, resource allocation, goal-setting, and the development and socialization of organizational processes
  • Build and refine operational processes, templates, and frameworks that scale across Content Studio, including support for tool migrations, workflow documentation, and knowledge management
  • Partner with external agency teams and vendors on deliverable alignment and timelines, and support the expansion of centralized program management capabilities across the Comms & PA organization
Requirements:
  • 7+ years of project or program management experience in marketing, communications, creative, or media environments
  • Demonstrated experience managing large-scale, multi-stakeholder programs with complex timelines and cross-functional dependencies
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously and maintain meticulous attention to detail
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to distill complexity into clear updates for leadership and cross-functional partners
  • Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, or similar)
  • Proven ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy, managing workload and prioritizing tasks effectively with minimal supervision
  • Comms and traditional - social and editorial teams (Marketing)
  • Understanding the organic side of marketing
