About the role:

Liquid I.V. is seeking a Project Manager for a 3 - 6 month contract. You’re a hands-on delivery PM who knows how 360 campaigns come together and gets up to speed quickly. You’ll pick up an established book of in-flight work and keep it moving, managing 360 brand campaigns from start to finish.

For the length of the contract, the in-flight projects are yours: you’ll also keep the vertical's packaging artwork, lifestyle photo shoot, retail execution, partnerships, and digital asset tactical workstreams moving, so working experience in each is a must. Then, you’ll hand it back cleanly when the PM returns. Functions and duties of this role include, but not limited to:

Campaign Delivery

• Manage 360 brand campaigns start to finish within your owned project vertical, from brief intake through launch and wrap.
• Coordinate cross-functional project teams across Brand, Creative, Media, Retail, Production, and agency partners, keeping scope, timelines, milestones, and deliverables clear.
• Build and manage project timelines in Wrike, keeping all workstreams visible, current, and flagged when at risk.
• Act as a day-to-day PM contact for any and all agency partners on campaign development and production timelines.
• Run kickoffs, briefings, reviews, and status meetings, capturing decisions and next steps and following through on them.
• Flag risks, blockers, and scope changes early so they're resolved before they affect delivery.

Brand & Creative Project Delivery

• Track deliverables across 360 campaigns - video, photography, digital, social, retail, and print - so every asset is accounted for and delivered on time.
• Keep packaging artwork timelines moving, with a working understanding of dielines, print production stages, approvals, and vendor handoffs.
• Move retail execution forward, including PDP (Product Detail Page) asset timelines across retailer and DTC channels, keeping deliverables on spec and on schedule.
• Keep partnership projects on track by coordinating timelines, approvals, and deliverables with partner and internal teams.
• Move digital asset tacticals along - routing requests, tracking approvals, and keeping deliverables on schedule.
• Partner with Creative and Production leads to keep a clear view of asset status and delivery across all active projects.

Coverage & Handoff

• Ramp quickly on the project vertical you're covering, picking up in-flight campaigns, timelines, and stakeholder relationships with minimal disruption.
• Keep campaign stakeholders informed through the transition so work continues without gaps.
• Work alongside the PM team to align on process, shared resources, and dependencies across verticals.
• Prepare a clear handoff at the end of the contract - status, open items, and key decisions - so the returning PM can pick up seamlessly.

Tools & Process

• Use Wrike as the PM team's system of record, keeping project data clean and accurate.
• Maintain status views for your owned projects and share regular updates with your manager and campaign stakeholders.
• Contribute to campaign wrap-ups, capturing what worked and what to improve.

Qualifications:

The successful candidate will have the following qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field.
• 5+ years of project management experience in a brand marketing, in-house creative, or agency environment; consumer goods or CPG experience preferred.
• Hands-on experience managing 360 campaigns from brief to launch.
• Working experience moving packaging artwork, retail execution (including PDP assets), partnerships, and digital asset tacticals - you know how each workstream runs and what it takes to keep it on schedule.
• Proficiency in Wrike or a comparable PM platform.
• Experience working with agency partners from the client side and keeping agency deliverables on schedule.
• Quick to ramp - comfortable picking up in-flight projects and getting productive fast.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple workstreams at once.
• Clear, proactive communicator - comfortable in creative reviews, status meetings, and stakeholder updates.
• Comfortable with pace and shifting priorities; you take initiative and follow through.
• A collaborative team player who builds trust quickly with cross-functional partners.
• Available for a 3 - 6 month contract engagement.
