Ensure consistency in project scope, establish key phases, define milestones, and set timelines.

Own the handoff from production to posting and paid - collaborate with Producers to confirm assets are final, formatted, tagged, and delivered to the correct team with proper specs and flight dates;
Continuously evaluate workflows across accounts and propose practical, implementable solutions - not theoretical frameworks.
Support process standardization across accounts and project management ways of working. Drive rhythm-of-business efficiencies that reduce friction for your book of business.
