About the Role

SJC is seeking a Senior Project Manager for an initial 3-5 month contract to lead complex, high-volume fashion and apparel eCommerce content production workflows. This role will coordinate intake, quoting, sample readiness, production scheduling, creative/studio handoffs, QA milestones, upload readiness, reporting, and escalations. The ideal candidate understands fast-paced retail production, can manage multiple stakeholders and suppliers, and is comfortable using workflow systems and dashboards to turn volume, blockers, and deadlines into clear action plans.

Responsibilities

Own day-to-day project delivery across assigned apparel and eCommerce content workstreams from intake to final delivery/upload readiness.
Coordinate supplier/Walmart inputs, quote requirements, sample status, shot lists, production schedules, retouching, copy, QA, and final asset packaging.
Maintain clear project plans, workback schedules, status reporting, risk logs, escalation paths, and action owners by category, supplier, and mod-week deadline.
Partner with the Producer and studio leads to sequence work by category, setup, complexity, sample readiness, batch size, and capacity constraints.
Use workflow tools and dashboards to track SKU status, sample blockers, throughput, rework, SLA exposure, upload readiness, and launch risks.
Lead internal check-ins, supplier/client status updates, and issue-resolution meetings with concise and actionable communication.
Identify process improvements that reduce manual status chasing, production bottlenecks, avoidable rework, and upload exceptions.

Requirements

5-8+ years of project management experience in retail production, eCommerce content, agency operations, fashion/apparel, studio production, or integrated marketing execution.
Strong understanding of high-volume production workflows, creative/studio dependencies, asset requirements, sample readiness, approvals, and delivery timelines.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams, stakeholders, suppliers, and deadlines with strong attention to detail.
Experience using project management or workflow tools such as Wrike, ClickUp, Monday.com, Workfront, Airtable, Smartsheet, or comparable systems.
Comfort with dashboards, reporting, KPI tracking, and communicating risks before they become delivery issues.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to escalate clearly and professionally.
Comfort managing AI-assisted workflows where automation supports intake parsing, SKU classification, shot planning, asset checks, reporting, and content completeness validation.
Ability to translate system outputs into practical project actions and escalation priorities.
Must be able to maintain human accountability for approvals, scope changes, supplier communication, timing, and final delivery quality.
Highly organized, calm under pressure, and able to bring structure to ambiguous or fast-moving production environments.
Comfortable working with creative, studio, technology, logistics, and client teams simultaneously.
Commercially aware; understands the impact of rework, missing inputs, rush requests, and scope changes on cost and delivery.
Practical problem-solver who can move work forward without overcomplicating the process.
