ABOUT THE MARKETING PROJECT SPECIALIST
The Marketing Project Specialist acts as the central project management backbone for the marketing team. Highly organized and detail-oriented, this individual ensures the seamless execution of marketing campaigns, promotions, and new restaurant openings (NROs) from inception to completion. Serving as the primary liaison between cross-functional stakeholders—including Field and Lab Teams, internal specialists, and external print/creative partners—the Marketing Project Specialist translates strategic briefs into structured, actionable project plans, keeping projects on schedule, within scope, and aligned with core business objectives.
TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOU MUST
Receive, review, and maintain a centralized repository of all marketing briefs. Critically evaluate briefs to identify missing information or feasibility issues (e.g., fast-approaching deadlines or budget mismatches) before translating them into structured projects and tasks in Asana.
Hold kick-off meetings with project stakeholders, establish clear timelines, and coordinate with internal and external partners (e.g., print partners for production schedules, designers, copywriters) to distribute assets and execute promotions.
Lead project kick-offs for NROs and task out specific deliverables in Asana, including signage, print materials, pre/post-open advertising, and digital assets.
Actively track project timelines, monitor task completion across cross-functional stakeholders, clean/maintain Asana, and enforce accountability to consistently meet deadlines.
Serve as the primary point of contact for project updates, schedule necessary tactical/creative meetings, and provide proactive progress updates to ensure alignment between Field and Lab Teams.
Continuously evaluate marketing project workflows to eliminate bottlenecks, optimize resource utilization, and generate status reports on timelines and deliverables.
Support the marketing team by creating store comp cards, managing marketing materials, and scheduling key alignment sessions.
