Sam Engel Email & Phone Number

Positive, proactive, and solutions-oriented. I’m an experienced senior creative operations manager, with 8 years in global project management, mostly at startups where we built the plane as we were flying it (although maybe not the best metaphor in early 2024). My background is in end-to-end creative production and I have a successful track record of onboarding new tools and processes to increase efficiencies, drive creative output, and collaborate cross-functionally. I can build timelines and flowcharts in my sleep, set up resource capacity planning to optimize team bandwidth, and foster a collaborative team culture. I’ve worked in-house overseeing vendors and contractors, I’m comfortable working across multiple time zones, and I understand what it takes to build a campaign. I get excited to build, help teams understand their workflows, and set up tools to scale efficiently. I believe that big-picture thinking is more fun with a big whiteboard (IRL or virtual) and that having a strong team culture makes the work easier to accomplish and higher quality.
