About the Role

The Sr. Creative Project Manager (I5) is the operational driver who moves the creative work from brief to delivery - connecting Creative, Production, Business Leads, Resourcing, Integrated Marketing and Channel teams with the clarity and momentum each project needs. You own the project plan, timeline, status and execution for a portfolio of projects. You bring strong PM discipline, production savvy, and a genuine appetite for improving how creative work gets done. This role manages a portfolio of 10-20 projects in a quarter spanning quick-turn content, paid social, digital and CRM campaigns, to large integrated campaigns, across all DoorDash audiences.
You're excited about this opportunity because...

• Work closely with the Brand & Creative teams (including Creative, Social, Brand Partnerships) and Cross-functional Partners (including Integrated Marketing, Media) - driving effective and efficient projects from start to finish.
• Own project intake end-to-end; build timelines, confirm resource assignments with the Creative Ops Lead and Business Lead, surface timing risks early, and hold the line on brief quality before any work kicks off.
• Manage asset production and delivery, ensuring brand consistency and legal compliance, overseeing QA, and coordinating delivery to trafficking.
• Own project health reporting: maintain objective status in real time, lead weekly project reviews, and flag risks before they become delays.
• Execution & daily management: track progress daily, update timelines and resource allocations, communicate status proactively to stakeholders, and ensure production partners and creatives are aligned on timing and deliverables.
• Help manage third-party creative relationships, interfacing regularly with freelancers and production vendors
• Own project closeout: ensure all deliverables are transferred, documented, and stored correctly, with no loose ends.
• Contribute to capacity planning by surfacing project volume trends, flagging resourcing gaps, and keep project data clean and current in planning tools.

We're excited about you because...

• A pragmatic operator who knows how creative actually gets made - across integrated campaigns, content, social, performance and retention channels - and who understands that the project manager's job is to protect both speed and quality.
• Organized and obsessively accountable - you treat timelines, budgets, and process hygiene as non-negotiable.
• Strong communicator who can translate between creative teams, Business Leads, agency partners, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Proactive problem solver who anticipates risks, escalates early, and delivers calm under pressure.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity - able to make a call, move the work forward, and calibrate when to escalate versus solve it yourself.
• You care about the work - not just whether it shipped on time, but whether it's good. You know when to push back on an unclear brief and when to protect the team's process.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of project management experience in a creative agency or in-house brand/creative team. Experience managing integrated campaigns and familiarity with performance and retention channels is strongly preferred.
• Proven experience using project management tools (Monday.com, Airtable, Asana, or similar).
• Strong track record of managing complex, multi-deliverable projects, with multiple stakeholders and steering them to on-time delivery.
• Comfortable with data-driven reporting and maintaining clear project health metrics.
• Self-starter mindset, with the ability to handle multiple projects with minimal oversight.
• Nice to have: Hands-on experience with capacity planning or resourcing models; prior exposure to and practice with AI-enabled tooling for workflow efficiency.
