Job description

To thrive in this role, you should have a thorough understanding of internal creative functions (design, copy, photo, and video) and marketing channels (social, email, website). You should be comfortable owning your workstream independently, with a high level of self-discipline and initiative, while still collaborating closely with a supportive and highly engaged team. You can untangle timelines in your sleep, turn ideas into action items, and manage people & resources to get any project across the finish line.
**This role is considered remote. We are headquartered in VT, with team members all over. Reports to Editorial Director.
What You’ll Do:
- Manage and track creative projects from ideation to execution, including marketing emails, website needs, campaigns, brand initiatives, product launches, photo/video production timelines (pre- through post-production), and miscellaneous creative requests.
- Support the Brand Marketing team in monitoring and tracking against our master marketing calendar.
- Translate all major marketing and PR initiatives into clear timelines and action items for creative teams, and ensure projects are tracking against deadlines.
- Vet incoming creative briefs to ensure they are clear, complete, and actionable—translating marketing goals into the right deliverables and resourcing across copy, design, and production.
- Track rounds of feedback and facilitate a smooth creative approval process.
- Audit and organize all creative assets, ensuring easy access and long-term usability.
- Standardize and improve the creative briefing process to optimize cross-functional efficiency and clarity.
- Communicate a clear picture of project statuses to all stakeholders on a regular basis.
- Serve as the operational and logistical lead for vendor partnerships—including event vendors—ensuring timely asset delivery, aligned expectations, and efficient execution for launches, activations, and campaigns.
What You Bring:
- 3-5 years of experience in a creative project management/operations role.
- You’ve developed seamless systems for creative teams at other DTC companies.
- You’re an expert in project management software (we use Airtable and Wrike).
- You have an in-depth working knowledge of Copy, Design, and Photo/Video functions.
- You’re a true organizational wizard who takes initiative at every level—you can put together a high-level calendar, and also track the nitty-gritty execution of each asset.
- You’re a super confident communicator—you’re not afraid to speak up, take charge, and hold team members accountable to timelines.
What We Bring:
- Co-workers and leadership who care about your success and wellbeing.
- Small company feel with big growth ambitions.
- Competitive compensation, plus equity.
- Health, vision and dental benefits and paid parental leave.
- Employee 401k with company match.
