  • Track and manage inputs, deadlines, and team deliverables, holding contributors accountable while maintaining positive momentum and collaboration.

Requirements

  • Calm under pressure, with the ability to stay organized, responsive, and clear in the face of shifting priorities and high expectations.
  • 3-5 years of experience in project management, event management, or operations, ideally within an agency, media, marketing, or fast-paced creative environment.
  • Experience working with or alongside executive stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with the marketing or advertising landscape is an asset, but not required.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with overlapping stakeholders and tight deadlines.
  • Fluent in digital communication platforms (Microsoft Teams, etc.).
