  • 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
