By managing end-to-end production cycles, your work will directly shape high-impact content across major social platforms, ensuring campaigns are delivered on time, on budget, and on brand.
What You’ll Do

- Build realistic workback schedules covering concept development, creator briefing, pre-production, video/photo shoots, post-production, revision cycles, and platform formatting.
- Coordinate essential production logistics, including talent, locations, crew, equipment, and product assets.
- Act as the primary operational point of contact for external social, influencer, and production agency partners, aligning on scopes of work, estimates, and deliverables.
- Partner with in-house creative directors, social strategists, brand leads, and legal teams to streamline feedback, route approvals, and resolve conflicting priorities.
- Maintain visibility across active workstreams by creating and updating project boards via monday.com (or similar enterprise tools), proactively identifying risks, and communicating status to stakeholders.
- Ensure all creative assets adhere to brand guidelines, channel-specific requirements, and FTC disclosure/usage rights guidelines prior to handoff.
What You Bring (Required)

- Solid working proficiency with monday.com or equivalent enterprise project management tools (such as Asana, Workfront, or ClickUp) building and running workflow boards.
- Proven background aligning scopes of work, estimates, and deliverables with external agency and creator partners.
- Strong ability to onboard quickly, operate independently, and navigate ambiguity in a contract/freelance capacity.
