The Role

We’re hiring a Project Manager to support 1–2 of our largest clients and help execute complex advertising campaigns. This role is the operational hub — managing approvals, coordinating timelines with our digital ads team, maintaining sequencing schedules, and helping coordinate production and post-production workflows.

• Manage multiple approval chains — tracking feedback, routing revisions, and documenting final sign-offs
• Coordinate with our digital ads team on ad placements, specs, trafficking timelines, and launch readiness
• Oversee ad sequencing schedules (what runs when, where, and in what order) and ensure the correct versions go live
• Maintain clean systems for file organization, naming conventions, version control, and asset delivery
• Help coordinate ad shoots (scheduling, stakeholders, shot lists, deliverables) and keep post-production timelines on track
• Run status check-ins, flag risks early, and keep teams aligned on deadlines and next steps

Requirements

• Preferred: at least one full cycle of campaign experience (electoral, advocacy, or political advertising experience counts)
• Demonstrated project management skill — building timelines, managing dependencies, and pushing work to completion
• Excellent attention to detail and comfort juggling multiple parallel projects
• Strong written communication and follow-through
• Experience working with creative teams, media teams, and/or production workflows is a plus
