What the Work Looks Like
Think of a major content or entertainment launch with an integrated marketing campaign surrounding it.
While one team is focused on production, Marketing may simultaneously be coordinating creative development, paid media, digital/social, promotional assets, messaging, approvals, launch timelines, and other deliverables.
This role serves as the central project-management connection point across those workstreams, making sure timelines stay on track and nothing falls through the cracks.
You'll be responsible for organizing project intake and prioritization, building schedules, coordinating resources, facilitating kickoffs and reviews, tracking approvals, identifying roadblocks, communicating status, and driving projects through completion.
Important Environment Information
This opportunity is with an organization operating within the conservative media and entertainment space . Candidates do not need to personally share the organization's political viewpoints, but they should be aware of and genuinely comfortable working within this type of professional environment.
The role is also 100% onsite, Monday–Friday, in Berry Hill/Nashville , with significant collaboration across Marketing, Creative, Editorial, Production, and leadership.
If you're an agency-trained project manager who enjoys fast-moving creative environments, managing lots of moving pieces, and being the person who keeps everyone on track, this could be a great fit.
