• Lead end-to-end project management for website development, multi-channel campaigns, major moments, brand initiatives, and integrated content programs.

• Ensure timelines are realistic, dependencies are clear, and deliverables move fluidly from strategy to production to publishing.

Resourcing & Capacity Planning

• Manage resource forecasting, allocation, and workload balancing across internal team members and freelancers.

• Oversee vendor relationships—including agencies, freelancers, and contractors—to ensure quality, efficiency, and budget alignment.

• Maintain visibility into team capacity and proactively identify resourcing gaps, bottlenecks, or optimization opportunities.

Creative & Asset Operations

• Own marketing asset management, ensuring all materials (brand assets, design files, messaging docs, campaign kits, etc.) are organized, accessible, compliant, and up to date.

• Implement and improve systems for version control, asset distribution, tagging, rights management, and brand governance.

• Partner with content and design to ensure assets meet quality standards and align with Drata’s evolving brand identity.

Process Building & Workflow Optimization

• Develop and maintain SOPs, playbooks, and templates for consistent, efficient creative production.

• Improve collaboration by standardizing briefing processes, review cycles, approval workflows, and publishing checklists.

• Introduce operational best practices that streamline cross-functional communication, reduce friction, and increase output velocity.

Operational Reporting & Cross-Functional Alignment

• Build reporting around workload distribution, project timelines, cycle times, and operational performance metrics.

• Translate operational data into insights and recommendations that help marketing leadership plan, prioritize, and resource effectively.

• Act as the connective tissue between strategy and execution—ensuring clarity, consistency, and accountability across teams.

• Serve as an evangelist for operational excellence and producer-level discipline across the Corporate Marketing org.

What you’ll bring:

• 5+ years of experience in creative operations, program management, or project management within a marketing or creative team in B2B SaaS or a similarly fast-paced environment.

• Demonstrated ability to run large-scale marketing or creative programs from concept through delivery, balancing multiple complex workstreams.

• Expertise in project management methodologies, resource planning, production workflows, and tooling. Asana expertise is a plus.

• Proven success establishing scalable processes, systems, and workflows across content, brand, creative, and web teams.

• Exceptional organizational skills with an ability to simplify complexity, create clarity, and keep teams focused on high-impact work.

• Experience managing agencies, freelancers, and creative vendors, with strong judgment and quality oversight.
