Overview

The Senior Project Manager within the Creator Studio is the operational backbone of social-first content production-connecting clients, agency partners, creators, and internal teams to deliver high-volume, always-on work.

This role goes beyond traditional project management. You will lead the orchestration of organic social content pipelines, ensuring ideas move quickly from concept to creation to publishing across multiple platforms.

You are a trusted partner across disciplines, with a deep understanding of platform-first production, creator workflows, and real-time content needs. You bring structure to fast-moving environments, ensuring timelines, budgets, and deliverables stay on track-without slowing down creativity.
