• Manage resource forecasting, allocation, and workload balancing across internal team members and freelancers.
• Oversee vendor relationships—including agencies, freelancers, and contractors—to ensure quality, efficiency, and budget alignment.
• Maintain visibility into team capacity and proactively identify resourcing gaps, bottlenecks, or optimization opportunities.

• Translate operational data into insights and recommendations that help marketing leadership plan, prioritize, and resource effectively.
• Act as the connective tissue between strategy and execution—ensuring clarity, consistency, and accountability across teams.
• Serve as an evangelist for operational excellence and producer‑level discipline across the Corporate Marketing org.

What You’ll Bring

• Demonstrated ability to run large‑scale marketing or creative programs from concept through delivery, balancing multiple complex workstreams.
• Expertise in project management methodologies, resource planning, production workflows, and tooling. Asana expertise is a plus.
• Proven success establishing scalable processes, systems, and workflows across content, brand, creative, and web teams.
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to simplify complexity, create clarity, and keep teams focused on high‑impact work.
• Experience managing agencies, freelancers, and creative vendors, with strong judgment and quality oversight.
• A process‑mindful approach paired with a flexible, solution‑oriented mindset; comfortable building new systems from scratch and optimizing existing ones.
• Outstanding communication and collaboration skills; able to drive accountability across diverse stakeholders.
• A passion for operational excellence and producing high‑quality creative work that elevates brand, storytelling, and go‑to‑market impact.
