Temporary Project Manager / Senior Project Manager | full time

Job Description

We’re seeking a Project Manager or Senior Project Manager to join a team leading high-profile YouTube engagement for one of the world's fastest-growing content creation platforms, helping shape creator-first programming, product education, and long-form content experiences for a global audience. You will also have additional opportunities to support always-on social brands across the wider portfolio as well.

This is not a rinse-and-repeat project management role. You will help orchestrate fast-paced, platform-native work that flexes across social, long-form video, creative content, and real-time cultural moments. Your ability to manage ambiguity, simplify chaos, bring structure where it’s needed, and keep creative teams moving forward with clarity will be essential.

You’ll support content planning, daily content production, and the internal workflows that are rooted in cultural relevance, working closely with account leadership, creatives, strategists, and client partners to ensure high-quality work is delivered on time, on budget, and at pace with internet culture.

Location: Los Angeles preferred. While this is a remote role, proximity to the internal team in Los Angeles and the client team in China is a plus. There is no expectation to work from a physical office, though candidates who prefer a hybrid or in-office environment are welcome.

Hours & Timing: This position is estimated to be up to 40 hours per week, eligible for full benefits and starting as soon as possible and will go through November, with likelihood to extend.

Project & Production Management

• Lead and support day-to-day management of social content—from content calendars to reactive one-offs to large-scale social campaigns
• Translate strategic and creative ideas into clear, actionable plans with timelines, owners, and budgets
• Manage production timelines for social content, ensuring agility while maintaining creative integrity and brand guardrails
• Support fast-turn production projects while managing long-lead strategic initiatives
• Apply your real-time awareness to manage schedules and scope without slowing creative momentum
• Contribute to client meetings, internal creative reviews, and production check-ins with clarity and confidence

Operational & Financial Excellence

• Partner closely with Account Leadership to oversee scope, staffing, budgets, estimates, timelines and the overall financial health of the engagement.
• Create and maintain accurate project forecasts, scopes, timelines, and resourcing plans
• Monitor team utilization, timelines, and resourcing across overlapping deliverables
• Own or support the development of scopes, estimates, and contracts for projects
• Maintain detailed budget tracking and contribute to client status reports
• Submit accurate, timely records of hours worked and project efforts

Cross-Functional & Global Collaboration

• Participate in a standing weekly client status meeting (5:30-6:30pm PT), supplemented by ad hoc meetings, working sessions, and written communication through the client's preferred collaboration platforms
• Navigate cross-cultural working relationships and manage workflows that span global stakeholders across multiple time zones (specifically collaborating with teams in China)
• Build strong relationships across cross-functional teams (creative, strategy, production, social media) and act as the connector between them
• Maintain clear communication with the client team—providing frequent updates, owning deliverables, flagging risks, and setting realistic expectations
• Anticipate roadblocks and surface risks early—proactively developing actionable solutions before they impact delivery
• Foster a positive, collaborative environment where both creative excellence and operational rigor can thrive

Requirements

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of project management experience in a creative agency, digital content, or marketing environment
• Experience managing creative and content workflows for social-first campaigns
• Familiarity with social platform-native work (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, Twitter/X, etc.) and an understanding of the unique timelines, trends, and demands of internet culture
• Client service experience, with a balance of diplomacy and clarity in managing priorities, feedback, and expectations
• Experience managing global stakeholders across time zones and navigating cross-cultural working relationships is highly preferred
• Proficient in project management and collaboration tools: Google Workspace, Slack, Keynote/Slides, etc.
• Technically curious, especially about emerging tools like AI, and excited to apply new solutions to workflow and process
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills—with the ability to manage both virtually and in-person
• Able to manage both granular tasks and big-picture oversight with equal effectiveness

Essential functions include:

• A clear communicator who brings structure, clarity and calm to chaos and gray areas
• Ability to zoom out to see the bigger picture, and zoom in to fix operational friction points
• Emotionally intelligent and team-oriented, with a high degree of empathy and integrity
• Strategic thinker with the ability to connect creative ambition to operational excellence
• Self-starter who can lead with initiative, flexibility, and a sense of humor—even when timelines and priorities shift
• Energized by a fast-paced, high-culture, creatively driven environment
