We are looking for a project manager to bring structure, predictability, and alignment to our high-speed creative workflow. Today, creators spend too much time navigating unclear priorities. This role exists to change that by building a system where creators create and the machine moves the work. You will not just manage projects: you will build the AI-driven infrastructure that automates the coordination itself.

You are a power user who treats operational friction as a technical problem to be solved.

• Automate the Grunt Work: You will use AI tools and agents to automate your own tasks, such as triaging incoming briefs, sending status reminders, and updating project health dashboards.
• Agentic Triage: You will build and manage AI agents that sit at the intake level to ensure every creative request has a complete brief before it ever touches a human creator.
• Workflow Engineering: You work with both creative and non-creative stakeholders to design and build end-to-end flows in tools like Notion, Jira, or Asana that reduce manual check-ins and eliminate loops.

You don't just track if a video was "done": you track if it worked.

• The Feedback Loop: You will work toe-to-toe with the Channel Intelligence Lead to monitor core metrics like CTRs, retention drop-offs, and trendlines.
• SLA-Driven Quality: You are responsible for ensuring that execution remains predictable and SLA-driven, but you also hold the line on rework cycles and throughput.
• Trend Integration: You ensure that audience insights from the Intelligence Lead are immediately translated into the prioritized backlog so our factory is always building what is trending.

You are the single point of communication for status, timelines, and decisions.

• Protector of Bandwidth: You consolidate feedback from business teams before it reaches creators to ensure there are no parallel or conflicting inputs.
• Time-Bound Approvals: You ensure approvals are aligned and time-bound rather than rolling, preventing the "unnecessary loops" that slow down production.
• Conflict Resolution: You are a planner who reduces chaos by preempting time clashes and bandwidth choke points before they happen.

• Technical Operational Experience: You have 5 to 7 years of experience in creative or digital environments and are comfortable building automated workflows.
• AI Proficiency: You have moved past simple prompting. You understand how to use LLMs and automation platforms to build custom "manager agents" for your own daily operations.
• Analytical Mindset: You are comfortable with numbers and can look at a retention graph or a CTR trendline to understand how it should change our production priority.
• Confident Boundary Setting: You have the ability to enforce boundaries respectfully and confidently, ensuring the team stays focused on high-impact work rather than adhoc shortcuts.

• ≥ 95% SLA adherence for all project deliveries.
• 40 to 60% reduction in rework cycles through better brief automation and consolidated feedback.
• Creators spend > 80% of their time on output, with coordination handled by your automated systems.
• Predictable improvement in channel performance (CTR and Retention) through tight alignment with the Intelligence Lead.

• Predictability: You value a stable system that works every time.
• Structure over chaos: You believe that clarity is the key to creative velocity.
• Calm over reactive fire-fighting: You create the operating rhythm so the team can work with confidence.
