Full Job Description
About the Role
Champions Group is looking for a Creative Project Manager to run point on projects for our internal creative team, which operates like an in-house ad agency. You'll own the full lifecycle of creative work - from intake & briefing through QC and handoff - across a wide mix of project types, including email, print, billboards, signage, swag, and collateral.
This role is ideal for someone with an agency background who is detail-oriented, self-motivated, and genuinely energized by keeping complex, multi-project workflows organized and moving. You'll be the connective tissue between stakeholders and the creative team, making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
***Please note that this is a 100% onsite role in Brea, CA. What You'll Do
Own project intake - gather and clarify project requirements from stakeholders at the outset
Assign resources - match projects to the right creative team members based on skillset and bandwidth
Chase down answers - proactively follow up with stakeholders to resolve open questions and unblock work
Apply institutional knowledge - track learnings from past projects (brand guidelines, word choices, client preferences) and make sure they carry forward into future work
Keep projects on track - manage timelines, monitor progress, and hit deadlines
Flag roadblocks early - identify risks before they become problems and escalate appropriately
QC before handoff - give every deliverable a final quality check against brand standards and project requirements before it goes out the door
What We're Looking For
3+ years of experience as an Account Manager, Project Manager, or Studio Manager - agency experience strongly preferred
Highly detail-oriented with strong organizational instincts
Self-taught, resourceful, and comfortable figuring things out without hand-holding
A genuine self-starter with internal drive - someone who takes ownership rather than waiting for direction
Strong communication skills; comfortable pushing stakeholders for clarity and follow-through
Experience managing a variety of project types (print, digital, promotional, environmental) is a plus
Ability to juggle multiple projects and priorities simultaneously without losing track of details
