  • Understand basic staffing and scoping needs, flagging scope shifts to senior team members.
  • Bring energy, curiosity, and initiative to projects, helping keep work moving and contributing to more engaging deliverables.
  • Review internal and client‑facing materials to ensure they tell a clear, accurate story, and partner with teams to resolve gaps before anything is delivered.
  • Act as quality control for creative deliverables – ensuring scripts, storyboards, rough cuts, and final cuts accurately reflect client feedback at each stage.
  • Learn to pull and organize data from agency tools and databases, helping the team prepare clear, client-ready insights and pitch materials.
  • Learn the fundamentals of performance media metrics and how they inform client reporting, campaign optimizations, and client conversations.
  • Partner with team leads to turn performance data, competitive activity, and creative observations into clear, actionable takeaways for clients.
  • Partner with finance and media teams to confirm campaign billing is accurate, matches scope, and reflects the work delivered.
  • Demonstrate interest and initiative in identifying new ideas or opportunities for clients.
  • Contribute to new business efforts through research, coordination, and presentation support.

What you’ll need:

  • 2-4 years of industry experience managing “the making” or delivery of great work.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to build clean, compelling presentations in PowerPoint.
