- Provide holistic oversight of a portion of Local Produce's creative portfolio, managing the interconnected ecosystem of people, time, and budget across your assigned campaigns and initiatives—serving as 'air traffic control' to ensure optimal resource allocation and utilization
- Monitor portfolio health and react quickly with solutions when projects deviate from plan, reallocating resources and adjusting scope to keep work on track while protecting team focus and preventing burnout

Requirements
- 8-10 years of experience in Creative Operations, Production Management, or Studio Operations, with demonstrated expertise in both portfolio management and complex program management
