We are reinventing global trade.The opportunity:

We believe global trade can move the human race forward. That’s why it’s our mission to make global trade easy for everyone. 

Flexport today connects almost 10,000 clients and suppliers across 116 countries, including established global brands like Georgia-Pacific as well as emerging innovators like Sonos. 

With offices on three continents, our team is as global as our client base. Wherever you are, whichever role you play, you’re guaranteed to share your day with passionate and resourceful team members who are in it together.

We're looking for a smart, switched-on Brand Project Manager to help coordinate creative projects across the Global Brand team. Nearly all projects and assets that Brand delivers involve our brilliant Creative team. Most of your time will be spent managing projects and workflows specifically in Creative, touching long-form content, website, graphic design and video.

• Partner with the Creative Director to manage and scale the Creative team’s workflow.

• Help clients write effective, inspiring briefs and ensure that projects meet the brief when we deliver (on time, of course)
• Monitor and manage workflows, resources, scheduling, budgets and tracking, as well as developments of project plans
• Work with external parties and freelancers to build and maintain key relationships
• Handle review processes to obtain approvals from required stakeholders
• Identify and proactively share opportunities to reduce friction and drive productivity while preserving creativity

You should have: 

• Minimum five years of project management or production in an agency or in-house setting. Bonus points if you have both.
• Fluency in the gSuite (Slides, Docs, etc) and project management platforms such as Jira and Asana. Knowledge of Adobe Creative suite and/or Contentful a plus
• University degree (undergraduate level) in Communications, Design, Marketing or another creatively or culturally interesting field
• Experience working in or for B2B companies in complex categories
• Excellent instincts for humans and teams, and a strong eye for detail. 
• Multi-hyphenate skill set: Digital-traditional-social, Brand-content-marketer, Long-form and short-form, Left-brain and right-brain
