• Operating rhythm: Lead daily Campaign Operations stand-ups to surface priorities, blockers, handoffs, timing risks, and capacity considerations.
• Pipeline visibility: Publish the weekly campaign pipeline, providing visibility into active work, upcoming demand, priority shifts, and key operational risks.
• Prioritization support: Translate approved priorities into Workfront sequencing, status visibility, and operational readiness.
• Contractor coordination: Direct contractor capacity day-to-day, ensuring support is aligned to current priorities, workload needs, and delivery timelines.
• Cross-functional coordination: Partner with Journey Leads and channel teams to clarify brief details, resolve intake questions, confirm readiness, and manage timing, handoffs, and dependencies.

What are we looking for?

• Bachelor’s degree required; degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, Operations, Project Management, or related field preferred.
• 4+ years of experience in project management, campaign operations, marketing operations, workflow management, or related business functions.
• Experience managing project intake, status reporting, pipeline visibility, stand-ups, or cross-functional workflow routines.
• Strong understanding of campaign briefing, channel handoffs, operational readiness, and project governance.

• Demonstrated ability to manage dependencies, surface blockers, and maintain accurate project status across teams.
• Very strong skills in working with Excel and PowerPoint.
