Project Manager - Marketing and Creative

Project Manager - Marketing & Creative

LOCATION: Austin, Texas

Liaison Creative+Marketing is hiring a Creative Project Manager to keep ambitious creative work moving, from creative brief to final delivery. You’ll sit at the center of a global creative team of copywriters, designers, editors, and video producers, translating marketing objectives into clear timelines and keeping everyone aligned throughout the process.

You'll build the backbone that lets a fast-moving creative team do its best work without losing sight of deadlines, scope, or quality. You’ll partner directly with campaign managers and product stakeholders, surface risks before they become problems, and help shape the processes. If you like working with creatives and enjoy being the person people trust to keep things on track, this role is built for you.

This role is hybrid and requires candidates to be in the greater Austin, Texas area to be considered. This is mostly a remote role but will have some in-office initially for training then possibly 1 day a week.

• Manage the full lifecycle of creative projects, from intake through final delivery, keeping timelines, milestones, and success criteria clear from day one.
• As Creative Project Manager, support integrated campaigns, product launches, events, and content initiatives across every channel the Global Creative Group touches.
• Coordinate daily work across editorial, design, production, and video teams so nothing falls through the cracks, focusing on longer-form documents (e-books, case studies, white papers, product sheets, etc)
• Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned projects, keeping stakeholders aligned on priorities, review cycles, and resourcing.
• Guide projects through intake, review, approval, and production, making sure briefs and assets are complete before work begins.
• Monitor progress and flag risks, dependencies, or roadblocks early enough to actually do something about them.
• Partner with Creative Operations to align schedules with available resources and get ahead of scheduling conflicts.

HOW TO BE A TOP CANDIDATE

• 2 to 4 years of experience working in an advertising agency or in-house creative team.
• A track record of managing multiple concurrent projects with competing deadlines.
• Comfort influencing people who do not report to you, built through trust rather than authority.
• Real fluency in creative development and campaign execution, enough to have substantive conversations with designers, writers, and producers rather than simply tracking their tickets.
• Experience working with global teams across creative, legal, marketing, and other functions.
• A habit of surfacing risks and scope changes early, before they turn into bigger problems.
• Genuine interest in process improvement as a core part of the role, not a side task.

SKILLS

• Workfront (or a comparable project management platform)
• Basic understanding of Adobe Creative Cloud functions

• Work with AI-enabled workflow and resource-planning tools
