Creative Process Manager- the community

  • Full-time

Company Description

The Community started with one goal in mind: creating a different type of company, that creates a different type of advertising. Never abiding by traditional definitions of how an agency works, we’ve never been traditional in our approach to ideas, brands, culture, nor the kind of people who join our community. We are not a multicultural agency. We’re a global agency made of diverse backgrounds, with one unifying mission: to create culturally-potent ideas for a multi-everything world.

Job Description

The community is expanding our Resource team with a Creative Process Manager. This role will start remote then be based in either our Miami or NY office. 

Our Process Managers help our Creative Resource Director steer their delegated creative teams. They work with creatives on a daily basis to assign projects, make sure briefs are communicated, meetings are set, and deadlines are realistic. They monitor the creative’s progress day to day on projects and help report status updates back to Account/Client teams as well as Strategy when collaboration or clarity is needed. 

We look to our Process Managers to make sure our creative process is as smooth as possible as it continuously adjusts, shapes and meets targets. The job of a Process Manager is to make sure the Creatives get the space to be focused on creating and all the process is managed for them.
