- Oversee workflow in multiple mediums across the account deliverables list, ensuring version control, edits, internal deadlines, final deadlines, quality control and final release files all are optimized.
- Assist in capture and organic growth estimating in partnership with Ops and Acct Teams.
- Help manage outside vendors such as printers, photographers etc.
- Draft internal and external creative development schedules geared around key milestones and stakeholders, that also allow for the best creative product.
- Audit hours, budgets, staff to match against expectations and proactive considerations, keeping everything moving smoothly.
