**What’s the role?**

At Medium Rare Content Agency, we craft premium content for Australia’s most influential brands - and behind every beautiful page or digital story is a finely tuned operation.

+ Coordinating team capacity to balance ongoing production with ad hoc content demands

+ Ensuring smooth delivery across multiple content products, from magazines to digital articles

+ Leading weekly WIP meetings and capturing actions, dependencies and delivery risks

+ Supporting a culture of operational excellence - anticipating roadblocks and proposing smart solutions

**Who are you?**

+ Experienced in managing complex workflows within a media, publishing or content environment

+ Highly organised with top-notch time and stakeholder management skills

+ Clear and confident communicator who keeps everyone aligned and accountable
