Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Join Gallo Creative and help bring some of the world's most recognized wine and spirits brands to life across a portfolio of 50+ labels. As an Associate Project Manager, you'll own creative projects end to end across packaging renovations, brand development, activations, POS, and digital, partnering with Brand Marketing, Commerce Marketing, and Corporate clients from scope through final delivery.
  • This is a role for someone who has already proven they can run complex, concurrent projects with real ownership. You'll scope work, build and hold timelines, manage budgets and resources, and keep cross-functional creative teams aligned when priorities shift. You'll be the person who spots the risk three weeks out, has the hard conversation early, and keeps the work moving without losing the quality bar.
  • Day to day, you'll sit at the intersection of creative, production, and strategy. You'll translate what clients need into plans creative teams can execute against, influence stakeholders who don't report to you, and give leadership clear visibility into where everything stands. You'll get a front-row seat to how brands actually get built, from the brief to the shelf.
