Below are non-negotiable standards for success in this role :
1. Think Beyond the Brief
Don’t wait for someone else (Account Strategist, HR, Design, or others) to figure out tools, integrations, or solutions.If something is unclear or blocking progress, ask questions, explore options, and make proposals.If you’re stuck, go to the Engineering Director. But do not let yourself stall or spin in place for days.2. Project Manage Yourself (and Others)
There is no dedicated PM. That means :You must own timelines and keep others accountable.Follow up, ping, and re-ping the team when you’re waiting on content, designs, or decisions.You’re responsible for moving your work forward, even when others aren’t responsive.3. Deliver On Time. Period.
When a project is scoped, you own the timeline. Give a clear ETA, then hit the deadline.If something is going to cause a delay (client inaction, missing assets, unclear direction) :Tag everyone involved in Slack or project threads.Be explicit : "If I don’t receive X by [date], this deadline will be missed."We expect transparency and proactive communication, not surprises.4. Over-Communicate with Context
Many projects involve multiple people (internal and external.)Always tag all relevant people in chats, updates, and threads.Bottom Line :
