Creative Assistant / Project Manager

Manly Bands•Lindon, UT

21d•Onsite

About The Position

Manly Bands is looking for a sharp, hands-on Creative Assistant / Project Manager to bring order to a fast-moving creative operation. This is a traffic coordinator and producer-lite role at its core — the person who keeps projects organized, files findable, deadlines respected, and designers and editors moving without bottlenecks. Right now, the creative team has too many moving pieces, no single owner keeping projects on track, and requests and approvals getting tangled. You’ll fix that. You’ll own intake, organization, coordination, and follow-through — ensuring marketing gets what it needs, when it needs it, at the right quality. Our marketing efforts span digital, social, website, photo and video productions, commercials, influencer work, and both internal and external resources — including collateral for brand extensions like Rosie Ray. You’ll be the connective tissue that makes it all run.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in a creative traffic, project coordination, or marketing production role
Must be available to work on-site at our Lindon, UT headquarters
Proven ability to juggle multiple projects and competing priorities without dropping balls
Obsessive attention to detail and a natural instinct for organization
Strong communication skills — you can follow up, push back diplomatically, and keep stakeholders aligned without drama
Hands-on experience with project management tools such as Asana, Monday.com, or similar platforms
Familiarity with creative production workflows — you understand what goes into a photo shoot, a video edit, or a design round of revisions
Experience working across digital, social, content, and e-commerce marketing channels
Comfortable working independently and collaboratively — you take ownership without needing hand-holding

Responsibilities

Creative project intake — managing the intake queue for all creative requests, making sure nothing falls through the cracks and every ask has an owner, a deadline, and a clear brief
Project tracking — maintaining timelines, status dashboards, and workflows across campaigns so designers, editors, and marketers always know what’s live, what’s next, and what’s late
Shoot coordination — logistics, scheduling, prep lists, and day-of support for photo and video productions
Asset organization — maintaining a clean, accessible system for all creative files so assets are never lost and always version-controlled
Approvals and proofing — owning the review and approval process, routing assets to the right stakeholders and keeping feedback loops tight and documented
Traffic management — keeping designers and editors unblocked, prioritizing workloads, and flagging capacity issues before they become missed deadlines
Cross-team coordination — serving as the daily point of contact between creative, marketing, digital, and external partners so handoffs are smooth and expectations are clear
Vendor and freelancer management — coordinating with external agencies, contractors, and vendors to align on deliverables, timelines, and quality standards
Process building — developing and maintaining standardized templates, tools, and workflows that reduce chaos and scale with the team
Reporting — keeping leadership informed on project status, milestone progress, and any risks or blockers
