Job Description

Golf was never meant to be proper—it was meant to be played . At Bad Birdie, we’re building more than apparel. We’re shaping a movement that’s loud on purpose, stylish by design, and always unexpected.

We’re looking for a Creative Project Manager to keep our ideas on track without dimming the spark. This role isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about bringing steady focus to bold ideas—guiding them from concept to launch without losing the spark that made them great.

This position sits on the Brand Team and reports directly to the Head of Brand .

What You'll Do:

  • Run the creative show (behind the scenes): You’ll manage timelines, coordinate teams, and make sure campaigns, product drops, and branded moments move from idea to execution with open communication and consistent deadlines hit

  • Translate vision into clarity: Creative minds are great at dreaming. You’re great at distilling those dreams into action items, schedules, deliverables, and check-ins that keep projects moving and teams dialed.

  • Be the calm in the brainstorm: As creatives swirl through concepts and ideas, you’ll keep one eye on the calendar and another on what’s actually possible — and help make the big stuff real.

  • Keep the machine humming: You’ll manage intake, kickoff, reviews, revisions, and routing across teams — without becoming a bottleneck. You’ll ensure resourcing makes sense and everyone knows what’s due and when.

  • Partner: You’re a collaborator and a team player. The creative team will look to you as the operations whisperer — someone who keeps things flowing, unblocks their path, and gets everyone on the same page.

What You Won’t Do:

This isn’t a producer role. You’re not scouting locations, wrangling gear. You're not sourcing props or corralling talent on set. You're not in the weeds of lighting plans or booking shoot days.

You are the force behind the curtain, ensuring the big ideas make it to the big show. You build the roadmap, align the players, keep timelines honest, and make sure everyone—designers, copywriters, marketers, the social team, even the photographer’s cousin’s intern—knows what’s next.

Your world is timelines, team huddles, workflows, calendars, and process magic. Your secret weapon? Making an idea’s execution feel like choreography.

How You’ll Stay Bad:

Run the Show

  • Own the lifecycle of creative projects—from the first Slack ping to the final file drop.

  • Keep projects organized, on-brand, and on time.

  • Build smart, realistic timelines that don’t crush creativity—but don’t flex into forever either.

Be the Glue

  • Connect creative with cross-functional teams—retail, product, growth, ecomm, social—you name it.

  • Set the tempo for creative execution and keep the drumbeat consistent.

  • Lead pre-pro meetings, stand-ups, and wrap-ups with clarity.

Think Strategically, Not Just Tactically

  • Flag blockers before they become black holes.

  • Identify opportunities to improve how we work, collaborate, and launch.

Stay Sharp on Details and Deadlines

  • Track project statuses.

  • Keep a pulse on team bandwidth and resource needs (and call it out when we’re overloaded).

  • Partner with producers and creatives, making sure everything flows—but knowing where your job ends and theirs begins.

What You Bring to the Role:

  • 3–5 years of project management experience in a creative, brand, or agency environment.

  • Strong understanding of creative workflows—design, video, copy, campaign delivery.

  • Fluent in tools like Asana, Monday, Slack, and Google Suite.

  • Excellent communicator who can lead meetings, squash confusion, and move things forward with a mix of humor and precision.

  • Calm under pressure. Fast on your feet. (And ideally not offended by golf puns.)

Extra Style Points:

  • Experience in fashion, lifestyle, or consumer brands.

  • Familiarity with DAM systems and asset routing.

  • A love for bold brands, unexpected storytelling, and rethinking how things are "supposed" to be done.

Stay Bad. Stay Organized. Stay On Time.

We break expectations. Not deadlines.

If you’re ready to make your mark on how we execute great creative in the world of golf, —we want to hear from you.
