About The Position

Our client is a performance marketing agency specializing in mission-driven organizations across higher education and nonprofit sectors. They combine sharp strategy, creative excellence, and data-driven execution to help universities and organizations achieve measurable growth — enrollments, applications, inquiries, and awareness. In this role, you'll own project planning, process, and delivery across the agency — guiding client work from conception to completion, on time and within budget, across every service line.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in project management, with a track record well beyond standard PM execution
• 5+ years in an agency setting, ideally across multiple service lines (Creative, Web, Paid Media, SEO)
• Demonstrated experience building or overhauling PM systems and processes — not just operating within an existing one
• Strong financial acumen, comfortable analyzing budgets, margins, and project profitability alongside a finance team
• Experience with resource and capacity management across multiple concurrent projects
• A clear point of view on how project work should be run, with the confidence to advocate for it
• Asana experience required
• Strong interpersonal, organizational, and team leadership skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Google Suite, and AI tools for productivity
• Experience with cloud-based hosting platforms and version control tools
• Strong written and spoken English communication skills

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience formally training teams on PM methodology
• Experience presenting financial or project performance data directly to leadership
• Background that spans both the PM and finance/ops side of an agency

Responsibilities

• Manage and coordinate multiple concurrent projects to ensure they're completed on time and within budget
• Build, document, and continuously improve project management systems and processes across Creative, Web, Paid Media, SEO, and more
• Own project budgets and partner directly with the finance team to analyze project and client profitability
• Own resource and capacity planning across multiple concurrent projects and teams, identifying staffing gaps or bottlenecks before they become delivery risks
• Work with proposal teams to develop cost estimates and project plans aligned to client needs and internal capacity
• Train teams on processes and drive adoption
• Facilitate cross-departmental collaboration, ensuring smooth handoffs and keeping project teams focused on the end goal
• Communicate project status clearly and proactively to stakeholders
• Stay closely aware of company goals and strategy, bringing forward recommendations that connect project execution to agency-level outcomes

Benefits

• Fully remote work environment
• Competitive compensation based on experience and scope
• Real autonomy to set direction, not just follow it
• The opportunity to build PM systems and process from the ground up, with executive visibility
• A collaborative, high-performance culture focused on accountability and continuous improvement
