You’ll establish how projects move from intake to delivery - balancing creative freedom with clear timelines and expectations. You’ll partner closely with creative leadership, marketing, and other cross-functional teams to keep work aligned, prioritized, and on track.

We’re looking for someone who can thrive in both proactive planning and reactive problem-solving, especially as we implement new processes. You’ll be the hub that keeps creative operations efficient, transparent, and collaborative.

• Communicate project status, risks, and milestones clearly to stakeholders
• Support the rollout of new operational processes that improve visibility and accountability
• Foster a culture of iteration, feedback, and creative excellence while maintaining timelines and business goals

Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Proficiency in Asana; familiarity with Figma a plus
• Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and shifting priorities
• Track record of building process from scratch, not just maintaining an existing one
• Deep understanding of creative production timelines and workflows across digital, print, and video
• Skilled at managing and incorporating stakeholder feedback across teams
• Ability to optimize and implement complex, cross-functional workflows
• Ability to manage competing priorities across multiple stakeholders, channels, and deadlines simultaneously
• Resilience and adaptability - comfortable navigating ambiguity and solving new problems in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Multilingual skills or experience working in global or multicultural environments

• 5+ years of creative project or program management experience
• Experience leading projects in a marketing, design, or creative agency environment
• Proven success implementing or managing sprint-based workflows in Asana (or similar platforms)
• Understanding of creative production processes across digital, print, and video
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills - able to translate creative needs into actionable plans

Compensation

• The base salary range for this position is $80,000 - $90,000 on a full-time schedule.
• Along with base compensation, Trupanion employees are currently eligible for monthly bonuses.
• We want all employees to be invested in Trupanion’s success, so we grant Restricted Stock Units to all new team members. Our new hire grants vest over 4 years.
