Ready to share our ambition and make an impact? Then, this role may be for you.

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager for our Creative Agency to act as the central operational engine for our web experience team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between web design strategy and technical execution—owning intake, driving sprint planning, and managing cross-functional dependencies. Your goal is to eliminate operational friction, balance team capacity, and ensure high-quality digital projects are delivered on time.

• Intake & Sprint Planning: Own the web experience intake process and workload distribution. Turn weekly sprint planning outputs into actionable project timelines.
• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Coordinate dependencies between Web/Email Design, Web Development, Localization, and external stakeholders from briefing to delivery. Partner closely with Art Directors, Designers, Developers, freelancers and external vendors to keep everyone aligned throughout.
• Visibility & Risk Tracking: Maintain absolute transparency into active, upcoming, and blocked projects. Track risks, mitigate scope creep, and escalate resource conflicts with recommended solutions.
• Stakeholder Management: Manage review cycles, approvals, and decision deadlines to eliminate production delays and endless review loops.
• Process Optimization: Reduce reactive work by improving intake quality. Document workflows and support operational improvements (e.g., automation, AI tools, freelance outsourcing).

Move together. Raise the bar. Learn fast—grow faster. That’s the default. And here’s what else is needed to succeed in this role: 

• Experience: 5+ years managing digital projects, web production, or creative operations (agency or in-house).
• Agile/Sprint Savvy: Deep understanding of Agile methodologies, sprint rituals, and capacity planning.
• Tool Proficiency: Mastery of PM tools (e.g., Monday.com), working knowledge of AI and automation tools and familiarity with design tools (Figma).
• Dependency Management: Proven ability to track multi-layered technical and creative dependencies.
• Prioritization & capacity management: Comfortable making trade-off decisions when demand exceeds capacity, and defending those decisions to stakeholders with competing priorities.
• Communication: Exceptional communication and negotiation skills; able to translate technical constraints into creative realities.

• Unlimited PTO
• Hobby & team building budget allowance
• Employee Support Program
• Loss of family member financial aid
• Employee Resource Groups
