Role

Senior Creative Project Manager

Location

  • San Francisco (Preferred – Hybrid Tue–Thu onsite)
  • Atlanta (Secondary Option – Hybrid)

Overview

We are seeking a Creative Project Manager (Mid–Senior level) who bridges design, UX, and web delivery, translating concepts into structured, executable plans across cross-functional teams. This role will support multiple concurrent creative workstreams, working closely with design and product leads to translate concepts into structured, executable plans.

The ideal candidate brings a strong understanding of UX workflows, Figma‑based design processes, and website delivery, and can effectively coordinate across distributed teams to ensure timely, high‑quality execution. This is a highly collaborative role focused on orchestration, alignment, and execution, rather than pure technical ownership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Drive coordination across multiple concurrent creative and UX‑driven workstreams, ensuring alignment between design, content, and engineering teams
  • Partner closely with design and product leads to translate concepts and requirements into structured delivery plans
  • Manage and maintain backlogs, sprint plans, and prioritization frameworks across workstreams
  • Track and manage cross‑functional dependencies, risks, and timelines to ensure smooth execution
  • Act as the central coordination layer between design, UX, content, and engineering teams
  • Ensure seamless execution from design through development and release, without direct ownership of engineering delivery
  • Facilitate stakeholder communication, alignment, and status reporting across internal and client teams
  • Bring structure to ambiguous or evolving requirements and drive clarity across teams

Required Experience & Skills

  • 7–10 years of experience in Creative Project Management, UX Program Management, or Digital Delivery roles
  • Strong experience working across the full website lifecycle (concept → design → development → launch), with a focus on coordination and execution
  • Solid understanding of:
    • UX and design workflows
    • Figma and design collaboration processes
    • Website development fundamentals and CMS‑driven environments
  • Proven ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams in fast‑paced environments
  • Hands‑on experience with backlog management tools (Jira, Asana, or similar) and agile delivery practices
  • Experience working with distributed teams across time zones (SF, Atlanta, LATAM)
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

Preferred Profile

  • Background in design or UX, with the ability to effectively collaborate with design teams
  • Experience operating in design‑led or UX‑heavy environments
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and evolving requirements
  • Ability to balance creative thinking with structured execution
  • Experience working on high‑visibility, cross‑functional digital initiatives

Work Model

  • Preferred: San Francisco‑based, working onsite Tuesday through Thursday
  • Alternate: NA timezone‑aligned resource with the ability to collaborate closely with distributed teams
  • Role will support multiple concurrent workstreams and require strong cross‑team coordination

Key Success Traits

  • Structured thinker who can bring clarity and organization to complex, fast‑moving initiatives
  • Strong execution focus with the ability to manage multiple moving parts simultaneously
  • Credible partner to both creative and technical stakeholders
  • Proactive communicator who drives alignment and removes blockers
