Creative Project Manager

JOB SUMMARY:

The Creative Project Manager blends the responsibilities of a project manager with a senior creative. This role is responsible for overseeing the production of creatives by various freelancers and internal employees, while also directly designing and producing creatives as needed. 

Our teams and executives will be your clients. These creatives include but are not limited to print ads, product designs, digital ads, sales materials, and video assets from concept to final deliverable. You will be responsible for taking written or spoken ideas and converting them into creatives that match business intent, procuring and offloading creative labor as required, and delivering creatives on-time, on-budget, and on-brand. 

We are a successful, boutique firm that prides itself on creativity, autonomy, and thoughtful execution. We do not plan to grow the employee count much beyond what it is, which is why many of our employees oscillate between on-hands execution and leveraging additional resources. If you are only interested in people management, this will not be a good fit, and that's okay! To balance this hybrid style of work, we are particularly careful with pacing, expectations, and maintain a deep respect for work-life balance. 

All that said, this company is tech-forward and full of creative, intelligent people who love to do good work. If you are a talented creative who enjoys collaboration, you will fit right in!
