Role Description

We’re looking for a Manager, Project Management who excels at organizing complex work, maintaining momentum, and helping teams execute confidently. This role owns the day-to-day execution of creative projects, ensuring tasks are clear, timelines are realistic, and teams stay aligned from kickoff through completion.

This role is perfect for someone who’s confident managing fast-moving projects, loves collaborating with cross-functional teams. In this role, you will bring structure to ambiguity, anticipate risks, and keep teams aligned around clear plans and priorities.
