• Serve as the central point of coordination and accountability for assigned initiatives.
• Track deliverables, maintain dashboards, and ensure visibility across teams using tools such as Excel, Loop, and project trackers.

• Review and provide feedback on messaging, creative assets, and campaign deliverables to ensure clarity, consistency, and alignment to strategy.
• Ensure benefit‑led, customer‑centric messaging across all touchpoints.
• Partner closely with Studio/Creative and IMC teams to elevate product storytelling and campaign quality.

• Coordinate projects and develop detailed plans to accomplish goals.
• Present proposals, reports, and findings to stakeholders.
• Analyze resource needs and market demand to assess project feasibility.
• Support team operations and cross‑functional alignment.

• Project management experience combined with marketing operations or campaign execution.
