The Main Responsibilities

• Lead enterprise campaigns, brand initiatives, executive communications, sponsorships, innovation programs, and special projects from concept approval through launch.

• Serve as the primary stakeholder contact, setting expectations for scope, deliverables, timelines, dependencies, reviews, approvals, and tradeoffs while managing communications, executive reporting, and escalation paths.
• Drive decisions by clarifying questions, surfacing risks, and documenting outcomes while protecting creative integrity and maintaining stakeholder engagement and accountability.
• Own day-to-day coordination with agencies, production vendors, freelancers, motion and design partners, and scalable production resources, managing briefs, kickoffs, trackers, timelines, review cycles, and consolidated feedback.
• Align partners to objectives, creative direction, messaging, brand standards, and delivery expectations; coordinate quality checkpoints and help assess partner performance, process issues, and collaboration improvements.
• Ensure work is properly scoped and tied to approved objectives and business needs; monitor timeline, resource, readiness, quality, and decision risks while managing reviews, approvals, routing, feedback, and version control.
• Drive launch readiness across final assets, handoffs, deployment details, and approvals, ensuring outputs meet the approved brief, strategy, messaging, design, and channel requirements.
• Partner with Creative Operations to align capacity and project needs to the right internal and external resources, identifying required skills across strategy, copy, design, motion, production, web, and agency support.
• Surface capacity, priority, and workload risks early; coordinate staffing, handoffs, and sequencing, and support tradeoff decisions as scope, timing, or resource availability changes.
• Identify delivery risks early and develop mitigation plans while managing scope changes, shifting priorities, late inputs, new requirements, and evolving business needs.
• Facilitate tradeoffs across speed, scope, quality, resources, and business impact; escalate issues with clear options while maintaining momentum and work quality.
• Capture lessons learned and partner with Creative Operations to strengthen project delivery, intake readiness, workflow efficiency, role clarity, and reporting.

• Own execution of large-scale creative initiatives, campaigns, special projects, executive programs, and high-priority business needs, translating strategic intent into executable plans and final deliverables across internal teams and external partners.
• Manage risks, dependencies, approvals, and expectations to strengthen stakeholder confidence, creative-team efficiency, and high-quality delivery at pace while enabling creative leaders to focus on strategy, concepts, messaging, design direction, and craft.
