Facilitate workflow using Wrike or other project management tools (Monday, Asana, Workfront).
Manage documentation, reporting, and portfolio data accuracy.
Analyze project portfolio and provide clear dashboards and summaries to leadership.
Liaise with freelance and agency partners to manage deliverables.
Champion team success, clarity in communication, and problem-solving through root-cause analysis.

Must-Have Skills & Experience:

5–7 years of experience in project management in a design/creative brand environment.
Strong hands-on experience with tools like Wrike, Workfront, Asana, or Monday.
Expertise in managing brand equity projects (not digital products or IT projects).
Prior experience with brand assets: guidelines, templates, toolkits, typography, icons, etc.
Proficiency in MS Teams, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Excellent communication, both written and verbal, and strong collaboration in remote settings.
Comfortable taking initiative while keeping teams informed and aligned.
Ability to work independently, prioritize, and meet deadlines.

Previous work on corporate/parent brands (e.g., P&G), not individual product marketing.
Background in CPG/FMCG or Self Care sector (digestive health, Nicorette, Orsl).
Familiarity with design and packaging workflows.
