- Evaluate incoming briefs and project workloads to assign incoming jobs to design and creative resources in collaboration with department management
- Contribute to the development of centralized resourcing best practices and optimization of resourcing systems

Forecasting & Workforce Planning

- Partner with the VP, Resource Director, Creative Leadership, and Finance to build and maintain Creative-specific capacity forecasts

- Support scenario planning for new business pitches, large-scale experiential programs, retainers, and seasonal spikes in creative demand

Operational Excellence

- Maintain accurate, real-time Creative resourcing data and visibility within centralized resourcing systems
- Ensure resourcing standards, processes, and cadences (intake, casting, forecasting) are applied consistently across the Creative department
- Partner with Finance to ensure staffing decisions align with project budgets, scopes, and margin targets
- Track and report on creative utilization, capacity, and resourcing health to inform executive decision-making

Freelance & External Talent Strategy

- Oversee freelance strategy and usage within Creative, ensuring the right balance of full-time employees and external support
- Maintain a robust, diverse, and high-performing bench of freelance creative talent (designers, copywriters, 3D artists, art directors, specialized agencies)
- Conduct proactive outreach to foster relationships with external talent and grow the freelance bench based on forecasted skill set needs
- Oversee freelance onboarding, compliance, rate alignment, and timesheet management in partnership with finance and talent operations
