• Monitor project progress and proactively communicate updates to the broader team
• Support quality assurance reviews to help ensure deliverables are complete and accurate to project requirements

You definitely need:

• 1-3 years of project management, account management, coordinator, or related experience in an agency, marketing, communications, consulting, or creative environment
• Strong organizational and time management skills
• The ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
• Comfort working with budgets, timelines, and project details
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

It’s important that you are:

• Interested in financial services and the creative potential those clients can offer
• Someone who enjoys solving problems and figuring things out
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift
• Someone who can anticipate needs before being asked
• Curious about how businesses, brands, and marketing work
• Comfortable working across digital, social, content, events, and integrated marketing projects
• Someone who contributes positively to our broader agency culture and values
