About the role
- Come join a unique and exciting design and technology agency that creates digital experiences for bold brands.
- Work alongside strategists, developers, analysts, and client teams to shepherd enterprise-grade CRM and analytics solutions—from planning through launch.
- Act as the central hub between client stakeholders, technical vendors, and internal cross-functional teams.
- Lead end-to-end delivery of development-heavy initiatives (e.g., Salesforce integrations, predictive dashboards, data-driven campaign systems).
- Own weekly planning, resourcing, and communication cycles: status updates, timelines, risks, and scope.
- Organize and facilitate working sessions, backlog grooming, retrospectives, and multi-agency alignment meetings.
- Translate ambiguous requirements into executable plans.
- Track and manage detailed budgets against scope ($1M+ quarterly SOWs).
- Proactively flag out-of-scope asks, manage change requests, and protect project viability.
- Drive accountability across external dev teams and internal SMEs.
- Serve as an advocate for structure in an emerging environment (no formal PMO in place).
Requirements
- 7+ years of project/program management experience in digital, tech-forward environments
- Strong experience managing CRM/data-driven development projects (Salesforce Marketing Cloud or similar)
- Highly organized and assertive—can manage up, across, and down with grace under pressure
- Familiarity with JIRA, Confluence, Agile, and Waterfall methodologies
- Excellent communicator who can distill technical complexity into clear, business-impacting language
- Relentless and professional follow-ups to manage on-time delivery
- Understanding of data security
- Proven ability to work effectively with difficult stakeholders and in high-meeting-load environments (20+ hrs./week)
- Experience in healthcare, life sciences, or pharma is strongly preferred
- US-based; able to work core East Coast hours (9–5 ET)
