• Stakeholder Alignment: Facilitate consistent communication with Marketing leads to ensure their needs-ranging from specific channel requirements to audience targeting-are reflected in the production process.
• End-to-End Production: Lead the lifecycle of creative projects from initial brief through delivery, ensuring all social and digital assets are on-brand, on-strategy, and on-time.

• Operational Excellence: Expert-level proficiency in project management tools (Airtable, Google Workspace).
• Marketing Fluency: Ability to interpret a Marketing Brief and turn it into a Production Plan that leaves no stakeholder's requirements behind.
