Our nonprofit client is seeking a highly organized, strategic Creative Project Manager to help bring visibility, structure, and consistency to a newly consolidated creative team. This person will assess current workflows across photo, design, edit, video, and DAM functions; identify process gaps; and help establish a more streamlined and scalable project management approach. The ideal candidate has deep experience supporting creative teams and can operate at a high level across workflow design, intake, resourcing, and delivery tracking.

Role Details

• Schedule: Flexible; open to 20–40 hours/week depending on candidate fit
• Start: As soon as the right person is identified
• Duration: Interim support with potential to transition into a full-time role in the fall

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Map and document processes, tools, timelines, and deliverables across the department
• Identify breakdowns, bottlenecks, and opportunities for efficiency
• Help establish clearer visibility into workload, status, and forecasting
• Recommend improved workflows and interim operating practices until a consolidated PM tool is implemented
• Partner with creative leaders to support change management and process alignment
• Work within Airtable or a similar tool to organize and track work in the interim
• Support the eventual transition to a centralized project management platform
• Ensure DAM considerations are built into workflow planning and process design

What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in creative project management or creative operations
• Experience building or improving workflows for multi-disciplinary creative teams
• Comfort working across design, photo, video, editorial, and production environments
• Experience with Airtable or similar workflow/project management tools
• Strategic thinker who can assess systems holistically, not just manage tasks
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, evolving environment
• Experience with DAM workflows is a plus
