Project Manager (Denver)

Karsh Hagan Madden • Denver, CO

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

KHM Karsh Hagan Madden (KHM) is an independent marketing agency formed through the merger of Karsh Hagan and Madden Media with 5 decades of creative and strategic legacy with 1 unified shop! We blend bold storytelling with precision media, PR, geospatial targeting, and observation-led strategy to help brands close the gap between how they are seen and how they are felt. Madden built our reputation in destination marketing and tourism. Karsh has spent years building brands in healthcare, banking, higher education, and retail alongside it. Together, we believe the strongest brands build communities, and our goal is to differentiate them in a world where consumers want something that means something to them. This Denver-based role is a hybrid adventure, requiring at least two days a week in the Denver office. The ideal candidate is an organized, proactive problem-solver who enjoys bringing order to moving pieces and keeping projects on track. They are comfortable balancing the details of day-to-day project management while still seeing the bigger picture-how timelines, resources, budgets, and decisions connect across an account. Clear communication, calmness under shifting priorities, and a willingness to ask questions, flag concerns, or jump in to find a better way forward are essential. A natural curiosity about how things work and energy from finding efficiencies, improving processes, and helping teams do their best work are also key. Most importantly, the candidate is a collaborative team player who enjoys working across disciplines and building strong relationships. We are looking for a Project Manager with 3+ years of experience to help lead projects from kickoff through final delivery while contributing to the continued evolution of our agency processes. You'll work closely with Project Management, Account Service, Creative, Media, and Production teams to keep information flowing, timelines moving, resources aligned, and deliverables on track. You'll become deeply familiar with your projects-understanding not only what needs to happen next, but how decisions around timing, staffing, scope, and budget can impact the overall success of the work. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex challenges, connecting the dots across teams, and finding smarter, more efficient ways to get great work out the door.

• Excellent organization and time-management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities.
