• Remove operational bottlenecks before they impact delivery.
• Create visibility across project status, milestones, risks, and upcoming priorities.
• Protect the Creative Director’s time by coordinating meetings, managing priorities, organizing information, and reducing operational overhead.
• Facilitate communication between creative, production, operations, leadership, and external partners.
• Build and improve documentation, workflows, operating procedures, and project management systems.
• Support new strategic initiatives as the SolarBalls and RunMonsterRun business continues to expand, including opportunities across streaming platforms, licensing, consumer products, partnerships, and other new business ventures.
