  • Gather feedback from teammates and stakeholders, analyze processes, and share recommendations for incremental workflow improvements.
  • Drive consistent use of Workfront and related project management tools by maintaining accurate project information and helping reinforce consistent usage in collaboration with Creative Operations Manager.
  • Identify routine opportunities to improve efficiency through better coordination, documentation, and emerging tools, including AI-enabled workflows where appropriate.
  • Support team resourcing by tracking forecasted work, monitoring capacity information, and helping align project needs with available team support.
  • Coordinate day-to-day operational tasks across content production workstreams in partnership with producers, managers, and project or account managers.
  • Maintain production tracking and reporting across multiple active projects, ensuring information is accurate, organized, and easy to access.
  • Support operation needs for sample ordering and intake process two seasons a year.
  • Help improve sample workflows to reduce loss, improve handoffs, and increase reliability for production teams.
  • Support broader Creative Operations initiatives and team administration by coordinating processes, maintaining shared resources, and driving consistency across the Creative Lab.
  • Provide project manager support, as needed, for select productions by tracking milestones, dependencies, and deliverables, and escalating risks when needed.


Qualifications:

  • Ability to apply judgment to routine issues and escalate risks or questions appropriately
  • Experience supporting cross-functional collaboration with clear, professional communication
