The Brand Logistics Manager is responsible for strengthening the operational infrastructure that enables the Brand & Creative team to deliver consistent, high-quality work at scale. Reporting to the Senior Manager of Creative Production, this role manages intake readiness, brief completeness, project and workstream planning, budget tracking, stakeholder follow-through, brand asset logistics, vendor coordination, and performance reporting across creative requests.

This role helps ensure work reaches copy, design, video, and production teams with the context, requirements, assets, deadlines, stakeholder inputs, and approvals needed to move efficiently. It also owns the schedules, dependencies, resource allocation, and status reporting for concurrent brand workstreams, including the creative workstreams that support ConnectWise events and campaigns; tracks spend against the approved Brand & Creative budget; maintains KPI dashboards and recurring operational reporting; and supports DAM/Brandfolder organization, template and asset governance, and vendor and production coordination.

This is not a creative direction or design execution role, and it is not limited to coordination. It is a hands-on brand and creative project management role, accountable for keeping workstreams on schedule and on budget, improving request readiness, reducing unnecessary back-and-forth, protecting the creative team's focus, and giving leadership clear visibility into performance through consistent metrics and dashboards.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

• Review creative briefs and spec sheets, and request input before work is assigned to copy, design, video, or production teams, ensuring that requirements, assets, stakeholders, deadlines, approvals, and desired outcomes are clear.

• Partner with creative discipline leads to define and maintain intake standards for design, copy, video, presentation, webinar, event, regional, campaign, and production requests.

• Clarify priority, urgency, ownership, and tradeoffs for incoming work, escalating to the Director, Brand & Creative when requests require reprioritization, stakeholder pushback, or additional resourcing decisions.

• Hold request owners accountable for providing complete information, timely feedback, approvals, final copy/assets, and required context before work advances through the creative workflow.

• Reduce unnecessary back-and-forth, rework, duplicated effort, errors, and late-stage changes by improving request quality, handoff discipline, and stakeholder alignment before execution begins.

• Build and maintain project plans for brand workstreams, including scope, milestones, dependencies, owners, timelines, resource allocation, and risks, and run the recurring status cadence that keeps each workstream on track.

• Partner cross-functionally with Events, Demand Generation, Product Marketing, and regional teams to gather project inputs early, scope creative deliverables, set realistic timelines, and allocate design, copy, video, and production resources across event and campaign workstreams.

• Coordinate alignment across stakeholders, regions, agencies, vendors, and creative disciplines for complex requests such as webinars, campaigns, events, executive materials, regional needs, and partner-facing assets.

• Support brand governance by helping ensure teams can find and use approved logos, templates, guidelines, messaging references, visual assets, presentation materials, and production-ready files.

• Create and maintain templates, checklists, intake forms, asset request guidance, production specs, vendor trackers, workflow documentation, and brand logistics playbooks.

• Conduct research and analysis related to vendors, tools, asset usage, process improvements, operational bottlenecks, stakeholder needs, creative workflow optimization, and recurring sources of rework.

• Define, track, and report on KPIs for the Brand & Creative team, including intake volume, brief completeness, cycle time, on-time delivery, blocked tasks, rush request trends, asset findability, DAM hygiene, vendor status, budget utilization, and stakeholder satisfaction.

• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting views that give leadership and cross-functional partners real-time visibility into workstream status, throughput, budget utilization, and delivery performance.

• Identify and implement process improvements, AI-enabled workflows, automation opportunities, and governance mechanisms that improve speed, consistency, visibility, stakeholder accountability, and operational leverage.

• Provide guidance and informal coaching to requestors, contractors, or cross-functional partners on intake expectations, asset usage, brand logistics processes, and workflow standards. Other duties as assigned.
