Centdegrés is building a new kind of creative studio in North America — one that operates at the intersection of strategy, design, content, and product innovation.

We are currently looking for a Creative Traffic Manager to bring structure, predictability, and momentum to a fast-paced, high-volume creative and production environment. You’ll be the center of the studio, managing the flow of projects from brief through delivery, balancing priorities and resources, and ensuring teams have the clarity and support they need to deliver high-quality work on time.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how creative work gets made and thrives in a fast-paced environment with multiple projects, brands, and deadlines in motion. It requires strong judgment, excellent communication, and the ability to manage complexity with confidence in a growing, matrixed organization. The ideal candidate will have experience with production design, artwork adaptation, or hands-on creative production, as there may be times when you’ll roll up your sleeves to support the team during busy periods.

This is for an existing vacancy.

In this role, you will:

• Own and manage end-to-end studio workflow across multiple brands, channels, and project types (e.g., packaging, in-store, digital, social, retailer sell-in materials).

• Intake, triage, and prioritize requests from cross-functional partners (Brand, Sales, Trade Marketing, eCommerce, Product Development) to ensure clear briefs and realistic timelines.

• Build, maintain, and communicate project timelines, schedules, and trackers, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned on milestones, dependencies, and critical paths.

• Coordinate resources across design, content, production, and copy teams, making informed decisions on capacity, sequencing, and trade-offs.

• Allocate and reallocate resources based on evolving business priorities, volume peaks, and launch calendars.

• Monitor team capacity and utilization, flagging risks early and recommending solutions (reprioritization, timelines, external resources).

• Manage freelancer and external vendor engagement as needed, including onboarding, scoping, and integration into studio workflows.

• Partner closely with Creative, Marketing, Brand, and Project/Account leads to align on priorities, scope, and deliverables.

• Facilitate regular status and production meetings, ensuring clear next steps, owners, and due dates.

• Act as a central point of contact for project status, escalating issues and proposing solutions proactively.

• Help define, document, and evolve studio processes, standards, and ways of working as we scale.

• Leverage and optimize project management tools to drive transparency, efficiency, and reporting.

• Identify bottlenecks, recurring issues, and inefficiencies, and lead improvements that support speed, quality, and consistency.

• Contribute to building a high-performing, collaborative studio culture grounded in clarity, accountability, and collaboration

About you:

• 4+ years of experience within a creative agency, in-house studio, or fast-paced creative/production environment, with experience managing creative workflow, timelines, resources and competing priorities.

• Hands on experience with production design, artwork production, packaging adaptation or hands-on creative execution is strongly preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to manage a high volume of concurrent projects with competing deadlines and stakeholders.

• Strong organizational, planning, and time-management skills, with meticulous attention to detail.

• Proven experience with project management platforms (e.g., Asana, Monday, Wrike, Workfront) and comfort working with dashboards, trackers, and reports.

• Excellent communication skills—able to communicate clearly, diplomatically, and confidently with creative teams, marketers, and senior stakeholders.

• Calm and solutions-oriented under pressure—you bring structure and clarity to ambiguity and fast-moving environments.

• Strong judgment and decision-making skills; you are comfortable making calls, prioritizing, and holding timelines.

• Experience in CPG, beauty, retail, or consumer brands is an asset but not required.

You will enjoy being part of an energetic and hands-on team, excited about beauty and home care. You will work with passionate and talented colleagues who inspire and support each other.
