About The Position

We’re seeking a Project Manager or Senior Project Manager to join a team leading high-profile YouTube engagement for one of the world's fastest-growing content creation platforms, helping shape creator-first programming, product education, and long-form content experiences for a global audience. You will also have additional opportunities to support always-on social brands across the wider portfolio as well. This is not a rinse-and-repeat project management role. You will help orchestrate fast-paced, platform-native work that flexes across social, long-form video, creative content, and real-time cultural moments. Your ability to manage ambiguity, simplify chaos, bring structure where it’s needed, and keep creative teams moving forward with clarity will be essential. You’ll support content planning, daily content production, and the internal workflows that are rooted in cultural relevance, working closely with account leadership, creatives, strategists, and client partners to ensure high-quality work is delivered on time, on budget, and at pace with internet culture.

Client service experience, with a balance of diplomacy and clarity in managing priorities, feedback, and expectations
Proficient in project management and collaboration tools: Google Workspace, Slack, Keynote/Slides, etc.
Technically curious, especially about emerging tools like AI, and excited to apply new solutions to workflow and process
Strong interpersonal and communication skills—with the ability to manage both virtually and in-person
Able to manage both granular tasks and big-picture oversight with equal effectiveness
A clear communicator who brings structure, clarity and calm to chaos and gray areas
Ability to zoom out to see the bigger picture, and zoom in to fix operational friction points
Emotionally intelligent and team-oriented, with a high degree of empathy and integrity
Strategic thinker with the ability to connect creative ambition to operational excellence
Self-starter who can lead with initiative, flexibility, and a sense of humor—even when timelines and priorities shift
Energized by a fast-paced, high-culture, creatively driven environment
