This role is a full-time, on-site position based 5 days a week at our Downtown Vancouver studio.

In this role, you can expect to:

Key Accountabilities:

Team-Wide Project Oversight & Allocation Management:

Lead project management across the Creative Services team, working in close partnership with senior leads in Video, Graphic, and Illustration, maintaining a shared view of each function's workload, capacity, and priorities across all active and incoming projects.

Regularly review team-wide allocation to proactively identify overloads, gaps, or scheduling conflicts, and lead prioritization discussions with relevant stakeholders to ensure a clear, agreed-upon path forward.

For projects spanning all three creative functions, ensure each work stream is properly sequenced and integrated so outputs connect cohesively rather than being produced in silos.

Develop and maintain comprehensive project plans and schedules in Asana, ensuring full visibility across the team and relevant Marketing stakeholders.

Conduct structured kickoff meetings to align on scope, requirements, timelines, and inter-functional dependencies from the outset.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Internal Marketing Partnerships:

Act as the primary liaison between Creative Services and internal Marketing teams, including Product Marketing, Community, and Growth Marketing, ensuring creative requests are clearly scoped and delivered in line with each team's goals and timelines.

Coordinate with both internal teams and external partners (agencies, freelancers, and product groups) to manage project progress and dependencies.

Communicate deliverables, timelines, and project status to Product Marketing Managers, Growth Marketing Managers, and Creative team members through regular, templated reporting.

Navigate competing priorities across multiple internal clients with clarity and confidence, facilitating alignment and resolving conflicts constructively.

Provide timely, informed feedback throughout the creative process — anticipating issues and raising concerns proactively, without needing to generate the creative work directly.

Studio Partnership & Game Asset Coordination:

Build and maintain a strong working relationship with Studio, acting as the primary point of contact for all asset-related coordination between Creative Services and Studio.

Proactively identify upcoming creative production needs and work with Studio well in advance to plan and secure the necessary game resources, including builds, in-game assets, screenshots, and video captures, so production timelines are met without last-minute bottlenecks.

Foster a mutually beneficial relationship by maintaining transparency around marketing asset plans, sharing relevant creative outputs and schedules so Studio can anticipate needs, and leverage marketing materials where applicable.

Establish a shared visibility system for asset requests and delivery status, reducing friction and enabling smoother collaboration on both sides.

Process Improvement & Pain Point Resolution:

Continuously evaluate project workflows and team processes, identifying friction points and implementing scalable improvements.

Apply knowledge of AI tools and emerging technologies to streamline production workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and improve team efficiency.

Lead post-project reviews and translate learnings into updated processes and documentation.

Support internal stakeholders in developing creative production schedules aligned with test and campaign programs.

External Network & Vendor Management:

Identify, evaluate, and onboard new external partners, including agencies, freelancers, and specialist contractors, to expand the team's production capabilities.

Manage ongoing relationships with external vendors, ensuring quality, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness.

Maintain an updated roster of trusted external resources aligned with the team's evolving production needs.

Reporting, analysis, and budgeting:

Track project performance, specifically to analyze the successful completion of short- and long-term goals.

Conduct analyses and oversee budgeting of project initiatives.

Assist in the preparation of the operating budget and maintain inventory and budgetary controls.

Assemble data and prepare periodic and special reports, manuals, and correspondence.

To be successful in this role, your background includes:

8+ years of experience in a creative project management role, either in-house or within an agency environment.

Experience operating as the lead or sole project manager within a multi-disciplinary creative team.

Knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite; proficiency in Asana or equivalent project management tools.

Working knowledge of AI tools and their application to project management workflows is a plus.

Entertainment or gaming industry experience is an asset.

Proven track record of managing multiple projects simultaneously.

Strong leadership and people management skills.

Project management methodologies (e.g. Agile, Waterfall, KanBan).

Resource allocation and budget management.

Risk management and mitigation.

Negotiation and conflict resolution skills.

Stakeholder and licensor relationship management.

Campaign and project planning and execution.

Familiarity with advertising and marketing industry trends and best practices.

Ability to manage and motivate a team.

Clear and concise communication skills.

Attention to detail and ability to multitask.

Proficiency in project management software/tools (e.g. Asana, Trello, Jira).
