About The Position

The Marketing Project Manager will support the execution of our marketing and strategic initiatives. This role serves as a central operational partner to the Chief Marketing Officer and the broader marketing team, helping translate strategy into action and ensuring initiatives move forward with clarity, speed, and accountability. Unlike traditional long-cycle project management roles, this position will manage a high volume of fast-moving initiatives; from campaign launches and digital improvements to donor engagement efforts and cross-functional initiatives. Success in this role requires strong operational instincts, exceptional organization, and the ability to keep multiple priorities moving simultaneously. The ideal candidate brings experience from agency, startup, or similarly fast-paced environments where adaptability, ownership, and execution are essential. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in environments where priorities move quickly and execution matters as much as planning.
