The Impact:
As a vital bridge between our Project Management, Account, Creative, and Production teams, you will ensure that every project—from initial intake to final delivery—moves seamlessly.

Maintain accurate project tracking by updating milestones, timelines, and status throughout the project lifecycle.
Prepare for and support recurring status meetings, ensuring clarity around weekly priorities, deliverables, and deadlines.
Proactively identify scheduling, resourcing, or workflow risks and elevate with proposed solutions before they impact delivery.
Follow up with creative and production teams to confirm they have the assets, inputs, and direction needed to meet key timing milestones.
Coordinate with cross‑functional partners (e.g., legal, brand, communications, operations) to ensure work is routed and reviewed appropriately during development.
Communicate clearly and consistently with Project Managers and cross‑functional stakeholders to keep work moving forward efficiently.
Develop detailed project schedules with the vertical Project Manager, ensuring alignment and keeping teams abreast of key milestones and timeline shifts.
Serve as a "go‑to" person on project status for the vertical Project Manager.
Ensure project milestones are updated in Workfront as projects progress through the agency.
Attend and support status meetings and documents to ensure clarity of weekly milestones.
Call out scheduling, resourcing, or other potential challenges well in advance and offer solutions to the vertical Project Manager.
Liaise with the vertical Project Manager, Account, Creative Business Management and Operations to ensure work is routed to appropriate partners while in development.
Communicate effectively with the vertical Project Manager and cross‑functional partners.
Qualifications

Solutions‑oriented: anticipates challenges and brings thoughtful, practical solutions.
Detail‑driven: highly organized with strong follow‑through in fast‑moving environments.
Collaborative: builds strong working relationships across creative, production, and operational teams.
