Department: Creative
Location: Hybrid
Reports to: Vice President
As our Creative Program Manager, you'll lead the day-to-day operations that power our in-house creative work - bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to everything we do. From small design tweaks to major project launches and brand partnerships, you'll oversee the intake, resourcing, timelines, and delivery of creative projects - making sure nothing slips through the cracks and everything moves forward smoothly. You'll work closely with stakeholders across the business, connecting dots between departments and keeping everyone aligned from brief to launch.
This role is perfect for someone who loves systems and structure, understands how creative teams work, and gets energy from making things happen. If you're equal parts organized, proactive, and people-savvy - we'd love to meet you.
