Senior Project Lead (adidas) · North America

About the job

We’re looking for a Senior Project Lead to join our team and help lead the delivery of creative, social, campaign, and content projects for adidas US and other globally relevant lifestyle brands.

This role is focused on operational leadership, project delivery, creative workflow management, and cross-functional coordination across fast-moving creative and social projects.

We’re looking for someone highly organised, proactive, calm under pressure, and confident managing timelines, stakeholders, and multiple workstreams within a creative environment.

This is not a traditional PM role. The ideal person understands creative workflows, social content, campaigns, cultural marketing, and integrated delivery across multiple teams.

You’ll work closely with Creative Directors, Strategists, Designers, Producers, Social teams, and client stakeholders to help projects move efficiently from briefing through to delivery.

A strong interest in sport culture, particularly basketball, alongside fashion, creators, music, and internet culture is important.

This is a remote-first role, but candidates must be able to work consistently within West Coast (US) hours.

In this role, you'll

• Lead day-to-day project management across campaigns, social content, toolkits, productions, activations, and integrated marketing projects
  

• Own timelines, workbacks, trackers, approvals, deliverables, and overall project structure across multiple concurrent workstreams
  

• Help teams move efficiently from briefing through to delivery while balancing timelines, creative ambition, client needs, and operational realities
  

• Coordinate across Creative, Strategy, Production, Social, Accounts, freelance talent, and client teams to ensure strong alignment across projects
  

• Lead internal and client communication including status updates, meeting notes, next steps, feedback management, and delivery tracking
  

• Build and maintain schedules, rollout plans, dashboards, WBSs, trackers, and operational documentation across projects
  

• Identify risks, blockers, resourcing gaps, or timeline challenges early and proactively help solve them before they impact delivery
  

• Help improve internal workflows, systems, templates, and operational processes across the agency
  

• Coordinate feedback rounds, approvals, asset tracking, versioning, and delivery workflows across multiple stakeholders and creative teams
  

• Support social-first production thinking including BTS opportunities, creator-style formats, reactive content moments, and platform-native deliverables
  

• Support reactive and fast-moving project needs around live sport, basketball, athlete, and cultural moments
  

• Help coordinate social-first and platform-native content opportunities around campaigns, launches, athlete moments, and community activations
  

• Help maintain strong client relationships through clear communication, responsiveness, organisation, and reliable delivery management
  

• Operate comfortably within the pace of sport, fashion, culture, entertainment, and social-first creative environments where timelines and priorities can shift quickly

Requirements

• Strong experience managing integrated creative, social, campaign, or content projects within an agency, brand, or creative environment

• Excellent organisational and operational skills across timelines, communication, approvals, and delivery management

• Strong understanding of creative, social, and post-production workflows

• Ability to manage multiple fast-moving projects simultaneously

• Strong communication skills and confidence working directly with clients

• Comfortable working within remote-first and globally distributed teams

• Highly proactive with strong ownership mentality and problem-solving instincts

• Familiarity with tools such as Asana, Slack, Google Workspace, Frame.io, and Figma

• Strong interest in sport, culture, fashion, creators, and social media

Bonus points for:

• Experience working alongside Production and Post-production teams

• Confidence working within shoot environments

• Comfortable capturing social content on iPhone
