About The Position

The Innovation Project Manager is responsible for coordinating and delivering the initiatives that bring Crisp’s ideas, programs, and strategic priorities to life. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, marketing, and sales, translating direction from the Innovation Manager and CEO into clear, connected execution across teams, systems, and external partners. This is a hands-on project management role with real influence. Many projects directly support revenue, growth, and client experience, requiring close coordination across marketing and sales alongside operational execution. Success depends on the ability to manage multiple workstreams at once, align specialized contributors, and keep progress moving while ensuring that messaging, timelines, and deliverables stay connected to business goals. Working directly with the Innovation Manager and closely alongside the CEO and senior leadership, this role plays an important part in making sure new programs integrate into the business and continue creating value over time. That includes strengthening processes as they evolve, ensuring marketing and sales efforts are operationally sound, and helping new programs become repeatable rather than one-off. The impact shows up in smoother launches, stronger cross functional alignment, and initiatives that support both growth and long term scalability.
