- Track and flag scope changes, version control issues, or resourcing risks to the Business Director and Program Director

What you need to be great in this role: - Experience in an account management, client services, or project management role in a creative, marketing, or content production environment
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams without losing detail or momentum
- Clear, confident written and verbal communication skills - comfortable with direct client interaction at marketing manager and director level

- Familiarity with project management or workflow systems (OMG, Workfront, Asana, or similar)
- An understanding of creative production workflows - briefing, resourcing, review, and delivery - in a multi-channel content environment
- Interest in or familiarity with higher education or healthcare marketing is a plus
- Comfort working across a multi-location team and collaborating remotely with nearshore colleagues in Mexico City
- Curiosity about how AI tools can enhance account management and creative production workflows
