Who We Are :

In 1922, Woodcraft Rangers opened its doors in Los Angeles and began its mission of guiding young people as they explore pathways to purposeful lives. As a progressive organization, Woodcraft has always been responsive to the evolving needs of the communities served, and is notably inclusive, youth-led, and rooted in the Woodcraft Way, a holistic framework that develops body, mind, spirit, and service.

Role Overview :

The Marketing & Communications Project Manager owns the execution and delivery of creative projects across the Marketing & Communications department - including video, photography, and collateral production. This role maintains the master MarComms project calendar, coordinates internal stakeholders and external contractors, manages scopes and invoicing, facilitates cross-departmental meetings, and ensures that all projects meet Woodcraft Rangers' quality and brand standards.

This position plays an integral role in the MarComms team, collaborating with the Senior Director of Marketing & Communications, Camp Marketing Director, Director of Brand Creative, and Marketing & Communications Manager, while coordinating with a Strategy Coordinator as needed.

  • Enforce brand standards and quality control - review assets for brand alignment, messaging accuracy, and production quality before final approvals.
  • Facilitate translation of content into multiple languages (including Spanish, Mandarin, and Armenian, as needed); coordinate with vendors or contractors to ensure accuracy, cultural responsiveness, and timely delivery of translated materials. Maintain an organized asset library and production documentation (briefs, shot lists, edit notes, usage rights).
  • Manage post-production workflows : approvals, captioning / subtitles, file encoding, distribution, and archival.
  • Surface schedule or scope risks proactively and propose mitigation options to Director of Brand Creative, Sr. Director of Marketing & Communications, and key stakeholders.
  • Facilitate cross-departmental collaboration (Programs, Development, Operations) to ensure marketing timelines and priorities are coordinated.
  • Produce simple project reports and post-mortems to document learnings and improve production efficiency.
  • Success Metrics / KPIs (first 12 months) :

  • On-time delivery rate for creative projects (target ≥ 90%).
  • Project budget variance (target within ±10% of budget).
  • Stakeholder satisfaction score (post-project feedback).
  • Number of projects delivered per quarter and average cycle time from brief to final asset, with consideration to quality and effective creative assets over quantity.
  • Invoice processing time and % of invoices reconciled without dispute.
  • Asset reuse rate (how often created assets are repurposed across channels).
  • Qualifications :

  • 3+ years of project or production management experience in marketing, communications, creative agency, or in-house creative team.
  • Demonstrated experience managing video and photography productions (pre-production through post-production) and printed / digital collateral workflows.
  • Solid written and verbal communication; excellent at preparing clear briefs and status reports.
  • Experience working with freelance creative contractors and negotiating scopes and invoices.

  • Basic budgeting skills and experience coordinating invoice processes with finance.
  • Collaborative mindset and ability to work cross-departmentally with minimal supervision.
  • Ability to provide and receive feedback and always looking to improve.
  • Commitment to equity and mission-driven communications.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience maintaining digital asset management systems or organized shared drives.
  • Basic knowledge of copyright, usage rights, and media release processes.
  • Skills :

  • Exceptional planner and multitasker - keeps projects moving without micromanaging.
