  • Ensure CPMs translate briefs received from Campaign Managers accurately into production-ready instructions for internal execution resources or external agencies. 

  • Oversee the day-to-day production workflow across all asset types: static crops and key art formats video cutdowns CRM assets paid media formats D2P materials and localized versions.

  • Track external production spend across active campaigns flagging overruns to the Director of Campaign Program Management and the Head of Creative Campaign Operations. 

Quality & Process Standards 

  • Hold the bar for execution quality across all CPM-managed assets ensuring brand guideline adherence technical format compliance and consistency with the approved creative direction. 

  • Ensure mandatory QC steps in collaboration with the Senior Manager Global Publishing Localization (copy editing compliance checks translation review) are built into every production workflow and that CPMs are not bypassing them under delivery pressure.
