Temporary Project Manager / Senior Project Manager | 20 hrs / week

Role Overview

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.

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.

Logistics

• Location: Los Angeles preferred. While this is a remote role, proximity to the internal team in Los Angeles and the client team in China is a plus.
• Hours & Timing: Estimated up to 20 hours per week, starting ASAP through February 2027, with likelihood to extend until June 2027.

Key Responsibilities

Project & Production Management

• Lead and support day-to-day management of social content—from content calendars to reactive one-offs to large-scale social campaigns.
• Translate strategic and creative ideas into clear, actionable plans with timelines, owners, and budgets.
• Manage production timelines for social content, ensuring agility while maintaining creative integrity and brand guardrails.
• Support fast-turn production projects while managing long-lead strategic initiatives.
• Apply your real-time awareness to manage schedules and scope without slowing creative momentum.
• Contribute to client meetings, internal creative reviews, and production check-ins with clarity and confidence.

Operational & Financial Excellence

• Partner closely with Account Leadership to oversee scope, staffing, budgets, estimates, timelines, and the overall financial health of the engagement.
• Create and maintain accurate project forecasts, scopes, timelines, and resourcing plans.
• Monitor team utilization, timelines, and resourcing across overlapping deliverables.
• Own or support the development of scopes, estimates, and contracts for projects.
• Maintain detailed budget tracking and contribute to client status reports.
• Submit accurate, timely records of hours worked and project efforts.

Cross-Functional & Global Collaboration

• Participate in a standing weekly client status meeting (5:30-6:30pm PT), supplemented by ad hoc meetings and written communication.
• Navigate cross-cultural working relationships and manage workflows that span global stakeholders (specifically collaborating with teams in China).
• Build strong relationships across cross-functional teams (creative, strategy, production, social media) and act as the connector between them.
• Maintain clear communication with the client team—providing frequent updates, owning deliverables, flagging risks, and setting realistic expectations.
• Anticipate roadblocks and surface risks early—proactively developing actionable solutions.
• Foster a positive, collaborative environment where both creative excellence and operational rigor can thrive.

Requirements & Qualifications

• 3-5 years of project management experience in a creative agency, digital content, or marketing environment.
• Experience managing creative and content workflows for social-first campaigns.
• Familiarity with social platform-native work (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, Twitter/X, etc.) and internet culture.
• Client service experience, with a balance of diplomacy and clarity.
• Experience managing global stakeholders across time zones is highly preferred.
• Proficient in project management and collaboration tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Keynote/Slides, etc.).
• Technically curious and excited to apply new solutions to workflow and process.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Able to manage both granular tasks and big-picture oversight.
