What You'll Do

Program Management at Translation is what keeps complex, fast-moving work from falling apart - and what allows the best creative thinking to actually reach the finish line. Our Program Managers bring structure, clarity, and operational rigor to multi-workstream projects, working across internal teams as well as delivering back to clients. From scoping and scheduling to resource coordination, workflow management, cross-functional alignment, Program Managers keep internal and external stakeholders informed and accountable. Program Managers are the reason things get done - and done right. Whether you're a senior program director who's run large-scale integrated campaigns across multiple agency partners, a mid-level PM who excels at keeping creative and strategy teams in sync, or an organized, detail-obsessed coordinator who knows how to turn chaos into a clear plan - if you understand how creative agencies work and know how to make them run better, we want you on our bench.
How We Engage

We keep our process simple and intentional - because your time matters. Here's what to expect:

Step 1 - Screener Interview A conversation with someone from our Talent team to get to know you, understand your background, and make sure we're aligned on what you're looking for.

Step 2 - Department Interview A deeper conversation with a hiring manager in your area of expertise. This is where we really dig into your work, your experience, and how you operate.

Step 3 - The Decision Once both conversations are done, we make our call. If it's a fit, we bring you onto the bench - and that means something. You're in.

Step 4 - Getting Set Up If there's an immediate need, we'll have you complete the necessary paperwork right away to get you set up in our systems. If there isn't, we'll reach out when a project comes up and provide everything you need to get started at that time. This is a one-time process, and completing it upfront helps us move quickly when the right opportunity comes along.

Step 5 - We'll Be In Touch From there, we'll reach out when an opportunity aligned with your skills and experience becomes available. We'll share the details, and if the timing, availability, and rate work for you, we'll get to work!
On Rates

Rates vary based on the scope, duration, and complexity of each engagement, and are grounded in our full-time salary bands so you know we're coming to you seriously. We'll always be upfront about what we have - from there, it's yours to take if it makes sense for you. No pressure, no obligation. We just ask for a straight answer so we can keep things moving.
