About The Position

The Senior Marketing Project Manager is the operational heartbeat of VASA's marketing function. This leader orchestrates the planning, prioritization, and on-time delivery of all marketing initiatives -- from brand campaigns to consumer research sprints to performance-driven growth programs. Reporting directly to the VP of Brand, this role maintains cross-functional accountability to the CMO, VP of Consumer Insights and VP of Performance Marketing, connecting the three pillars of VASA's marketing strategy moving in sync. The Senior Manager ensures cross-functional alignment is a daily reality -- not an aspiration -- by translating strategic priorities into actionable roadmaps, scalable processes, and measurable outcomes. This is a builder's role. This role is accountable for designing governance frameworks, developing a marketing PM team, standardizing how marketing works, and creating the visibility that allows marketing leadership to make faster, smarter decisions.
