About Our Team

The Global Brand & Creative team within Marketing is responsible for our brand and marketing creative. From building brand awareness campaigns to designing experiences like Dreamforce, our multi-faceted team does it all. We are a collection of thinkers, makers and doers, whose sole purpose is to bring the brand to life across our incredible portfolio of work.

About This Role

We're looking for a driven, highly organized contractor PM to serve as the operational backbone of our Brand Insights, Strategy & Management team.

In this role, you'll be the connective tissue that keeps every workstream moving, every priority sharp, and every stakeholder informed. From driving our quarterly planning process to running weekly stand-ups and ensuring leadership walks into every meeting ready to make decisions, you'll be the reason this team operates at its best.
With strong organizational instincts and a natural ability to communicate across both team and executive levels, you'll help the team intake, prioritize, and deliver week over week.

In partnership with the team Ops Lead, you will sit at intersection of strategy and execution, driving key brand project workstreams to ensure they deliver on time, on scope and on budget.

What You Will Do

Project Management & Workstream Oversight

• Work with the Ops Lead to track and manage key team workstreams, ensuring deadlines, owners, and milestones are clearly documented and maintained

• Maintain project trackers and provide regular status updates to stakeholders

• Build and manage project plans from kickoff through delivery with clarity and accountability

• Coordinate cross-functional dependencies across teams; flag blockers or risks proactively and help facilitate resolution

Executive Communications & Meeting Support

• Organize talking points, agendas for weekly SVP-level meetings

• Take notes, capture decisions, and track action items from leadership syncs

• Draft and send executive-facing recaps and follow-up communications

• Help drive decision-making by ensuring the right context and information is surfaced ahead of meetings

Quarterly Planning

• Lead the team's quarterly planning process, including timeline management, template creation, and facilitation of planning sessions

• Synthesize team inputs into a consolidated view of priorities, capacity, and commitments

• Partner with stakeholders to ensure plans are realistic and aligned with broader organizational goals

Intake & Prioritization Management

• Support monitoring and managing the team's intake channel, triaging incoming requests

• Work with the team SMEs to develop a consistent process for evaluating, prioritizing, and routing requests

• Maintain a visible backlog of work to support ongoing planning conversations

What Experience You Have

• 5-7+ years of project or program management experience, ideally within a marketing, creative, or brand organization

• Experience with Brand Insights, Brand Strategy, Creative Strategy, and Brand Management workstreams

• Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously

• Experience supporting executive-level stakeholders, including preparing materials and facilitating decision-making

• Comfortable owning a quarterly planning process end-to-end — from timeline setting to facilitation to synthesis

• Experience managing intake and prioritization processes across a team or function

• High level of comfort with Slack, Google Suite (Slides, Sheets, Docs), and project tracking tools

• Ability to work independently, take initiative, and maintain momentum without close oversight

• Agency or in-house creative/marketing team experience preferred

Why You Are Excited About This Role

• You thrive in roles where you're the one keeping everything organized and moving — and you take pride in it

• You are energized by cross-functional complexity and find clarity where others see challenges

• You enjoy working with executives and know how to communicate with precision and context

• You want to make a real impact in a fast-paced, high-visibility team during a critical transition period

• You are comfortable with ambiguity and adapt quickly when priorities shift

Why We Are Excited About You

• You can help the team operate at pace with minimal disruption

• You know how to give clear leadership visibility into what's in flight and what decisions are needed

• You communicate clearly, concisely, and with purpose — whether it's a Slack update or an SVP-facing recap

• You make the work feel organized, because great operations is part of great output
