The Opportunity
We're looking for a
Senior Traffic Manager
who can take charge of the agency's heartbeat — our workflow.
You'll lead the charge in keeping projects flowing smoothly across Creative, Strategy, Client Service, and Production. You'll be the one making sure the right people are on the right jobs at the right time — no chaos, no confusion, just slick coordination and on-time delivery.

- Lead and mentor the Traffic team, ensuring every deadline and deliverable lands flawlessly.
- Keep the agency's master production schedule updated and transparent.
- Manage capacity and resources across multiple teams and projects.
- Identify bottlenecks, streamline processes, and implement smarter, tech-driven workflows.
- Collaborate with leadership on agency efficiency, forecasting, and project profitability.
- Be the calm in the storm — the go-to for solutions when timelines tighten or priorities shift.
What You'll Bring
- 5–7+ years' experience in traffic or project management within a creative or advertising agency.
- Strong leadership and communication skills — you get people moving in sync.
- A strategic mindset with an eye for process improvement.
- Comfort working with MS Planner (or similar platforms).
- A love for creative work — and respect for the timelines that make it possible.
- Cool head, sharp focus, zero panic.
Why Join Wetpaint
- Be part of a
tech-powered creative agency
that's redefining the future of marketing. - Work with iconic South African and international brands.
- Collaborate with a Tribe that believes in lifting each other up and doing it better — every single day.
- A culture that celebrates innovation, collaboration, and bold ideas.
Ready to #LeadTheShift?
