Creative Project Manager

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

Creative Planning & Calendars

Maintain master creative planning calendars across campaigns, e-commerce, retail, and daily marketing communications.
Align creative timelines with marketing launch plans and merchandising milestones.
Ensure teams are working ahead of launch deadlines rather than reacting late.

Intake, Brief Quality, and Decision Rights
Own the intake process for creative requests, ensuring briefs are complete, prioritized, and aligned with campaign timelines before work begins.
Translate requests into clear plans, including deliverables, timelines, dependencies, and back-in schedules.
Propose tradeoffs when timelines or scope conflict.

Asana Ownership and Operating Rhythm
Own Asana end-to-end
Assign work to Design and Copy based on priority and capacity in partnership with Creative leadership.
Run kickoffs, weekly status checks, and handoffs; track progress daily and escalate risks early.
Establish consistent visibility so stakeholders understand what is on track, at risk, or blocked.

Production Readiness (Pre-Production Tracking & Coordination)

Track pre-production readiness across functions: deliverables list, sample status, creation and oversight of pack lists, shot list inputs, approvals, routing plans, and schedule inputs.
Coordinate cross-functional inputs to ensure shoots are fully prepared before execution.

Post-Production Traffic & SSOT Asset Governance
Own post-production workflow: selects ? retouch rounds ? approvals ? finals ? delivery specifications.
Maintain single-source-of-truth (SSOT) standards, including folder structure, file naming, permissions, version control, and basic metadata/tagging.
Define and enforce a clear definition of done for assets (on spec, approved, correctly named, stored in SSOT, deliverable-ready).

Continuous Improvement
Identify workflow breakdowns and implement durable fixes (templates, checklists, gating, cadence).
Apply lightweight automation and AI tools to streamline intake, scheduling, tracking, and reporting.
Document processes so systems scale without adding headcount.
