- Translate requests into briefs, timelines, and resourcing plans aligned to brand strategy
- Manage day-to-day client partnership with direct communication; run statuses, present work, and manage feedback and expectations
- Serve as liaison between client and internal teams, coordinating work from brief through final delivery
What you need to be great in this role:
- 5+ years managing resources for a large team within a creative or advertising agency required
- Demonstrated expertise in capacity planning, forecasting, and utilization management
- Deep understanding of creative and production workflows, handoffs, trafficking, QA, and asset management across digital/social, video/photo, and print/retail
- Exceptional organization, attention to detail, and the ability to make fast, informed decisions and pivot plans as priorities shift
- Strong stakeholder and client-facing communication skills; able to present recommended solutions clearly and confidently
- Proficiency with project tools required (e.g., Wrike, Asana, Monday.com); Adobe/Figma a plus
- At the time of this posting, the base salary for this position may range from $76,500.00 to $85,500.00 CAD.
