- Review, organize, store, and track POs and other financial documentation
- Develop and manage project scopes, timelines, and deliverables for social content and production projects with appropriate guidance from senior team members

- Serve as the primary point of contact and manage the day-to-day execution of smaller to mid-sized social and content production projects from briefing through final delivery, including organic social posts, short-form video, animation, digital, and other platform-specific assets
- Build strong relationships with clients and internal stakeholders, ensuring expectations, timelines, social content requirements, and deliverables remain aligned throughout the project lifecycle
- Provide clear and consistent project status updates, escalating issues and making recommendations when additional support or decisions are required
- Help establish efficient project management processes and workflows that enable teams to develop and deliver high-quality social content at scale
- Stay informed on social platforms, content formats, and evolving organic social trends to help ensure projects are relevant to the needs of each platform
- Balance multiple social content projects and competing priorities while maintaining a high level of attention to detail and quality
Qualifications:
- Highly organized with strong project management skills and the ability to manage multiple social content projects, timelines, and priorities simultaneously
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential (written and verbal)
- Proven ability to independently manage projects from briefing through delivery, including timelines, deliverables, budgets, and stakeholder communication
- Strong understanding of creative, social, and production workflows within an agency or similar fast-paced environment
- Experience working on social media content, organic social campaigns, digital content, or platform-specific creative
- Ability to work under pressure, manage competing priorities, and adhere to fast-moving production timelines
- Flexibility to tackle different tasks throughout the day and pivot with little or no warning based on client, cultural, social, or production needs
- Dependability and accountability in execution of work

- Strategic thinker with a strong problem-solving mentality and an understanding of how brands communicate across social platforms
- Strong work ethic and desire to learn, grow, and take on increasing responsibility
- Go above and beyond what's expected of you
- Ability to lead through influence and collaborate effectively with Creative, Social, Production, Strategy, and client teams
- Balance the ability to work on a team, as well as independently with limited supervision when required
- Proactively manages obstacles, risks, and project dependencies and escalates appropriately when needed
- Ability to confidently communicate project status, challenges, and recommendations to both clients and internal stakeholders
- Minimum 5 years of experience in a similar or comparable position in a creative, social, production, advertising, or content agency
