A Taste of What You’ll Do

Join Gallo Creative as a Sr. Associate Project Manager and take ownership of creative work across one of the largest wine and Bev-Alc portfolios in the world. You’ll manage projects spanning the full arc of brand building: developing brand worlds, packaging renovations and redesigns, brand activations, point-of-sale, digital experiences, and print. Your clients are Brand Marketing, Commerce Marketing, and Corporate teams working across dozens of wine, spirits, and RTD brands, and you’ll be their direct partner from brief through delivery.

This role owns projects end to end. You’ll scope work with clients, ask the questions that sharpen a brief before creative starts, build the schedule and budget, and drive complex projects through production and launch. You sit at the center of designers, copywriters, producers, and operations, and your job is making sure the conditions exist for strategically sound, creatively excellent work.

The people who thrive here run tight meetings, catch problems before they become impediments, and aren’t shy about a candid conversation with a client or a creative director. If you want your fingerprints on brand work that ships to shelves and screens nationwide, then apply today!
