Project Manager

Project Manager

Pophaus is hiring a Project Manager at our Toronto social media agency. You’ll own delivery for a portfolio of CPG and consumer brand accounts, from monthly content cycles to launches, campaigns and shoots. Full-time, hybrid, $75,000 to $85,000.

ABOUT POPHAUS

Pophaus is a Toronto-based social media agency and the strategic social partner for consumer brands. We pair savvy social media managers with an in-house creative team (art direction, design, motion and photography) to run strategic, always-on social for our clients.

Some brands we work with: IQBAR, Morelabs, Schneiders, Therabody, 38TERA and many more.

We build brand worlds, not one-off posts. A studio shoot, a trend format and a creator video should all feel cut from the same brand DNA. That thinking runs through every role here.

THE ROLE

You keep our most complex work on track. As Project Manager, you’ll own timelines and delivery for a portfolio of client accounts, including our biggest launches and campaigns, and help plan the team’s capacity so we can say yes to clients with confidence.

You’ll be the person who sees the full picture on your accounts: who’s working on what, what’s coming next month and where the pressure points are. You’ll also help improve the systems that keep delivery running, and help the people around you get better at it.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Portfolio delivery: Own delivery for a portfolio of client accounts, including the most complex ones, from monthly content cycles to shoots and campaign rollouts.
• Launches and campaigns: Plan and coordinate brand launches and multi-month campaigns end to end, across social and creative teams.
• Capacity: Track hours against each client’s monthly scope on your accounts, help balance workloads across the team and flag risks before they hit deadlines.
• Shoots and production: Oversee logistics for photo and stop motion shoots, including studios, props, product, freelancers and budgets.
• Systems: Help improve our Notion setup, processes and onboarding so the agency runs smoothly as it grows.
• Vendors and freelancers: Coordinate photographers, stylists, creators and other partners.
• Reporting: Give leadership a clear view of delivery health, capacity and where the team is stretched.
• Mentoring: Coach other project managers and coordinators as the team grows.

WHO YOU ARE

• A systems thinker who keeps things simple
• Trusted by creatives and account leads alike
• Comfortable making calls on priorities and trade-offs
• Calm when several deadlines collide
• You’d rather fix the process than chase the same problem twice

• Degree or diploma in Business, Communications, Marketing or a related field, or equivalent experience

DESIRED SKILLS

• Building operations and processes at a growing agency
• Production budgeting and freelancer management
• Automation and workflow tools such as Zapier
• Experience mentoring project managers or coordinators
• Bonus: CPG, food, beverage, or wellness brand experience

• Pay: $75,000 to $85,000 per year, full-time.
