Key Responsibilities:

• Cross-Functional Coordination: Acts as the central coordination point across creative, production, strategy and project management on assigned projects. Ensures all disciplines have the information they need and that nothing falls through the gaps between teams.
• Problem Identification: Spots delivery risks and client issues early, bringing context and a proposed solution to the SAD’s or account lead. Develops the instinct to manage upward proactively rather than waiting to be asked.

• Reporting and Status Management: Produces accurate, well-structured status updates, meeting notes and project reports. Keeps clients and internal teams consistently informed and builds a reputation for reliability through clear, timely communication.
