[Hiring] Manager, Project Manager @Dept

Role Description

We’re looking for a Manager, Project Management with a performance marketing background and strong agency experience to join our Creative & Media division. You’ll be right at the heart of campaign execution - making sure paid media projects across social, search, and programmatic run smoothly, on time, and on budget.

This role is perfect for someone who’s confident managing fast-moving projects, loves collaborating with cross-functional teams, and thrives on bringing structure. You’ll partner closely with media strategists and channel experts to keep work flowing and clients happy - from kickoff to wrap-up. You’ll play a key role in managing our day-to-day work, keeping things moving, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

This role is ideal for someone with solid foundational project management skills who’s ready to step up - bringing more structure, ownership, and strategic thinking to the table. If you naturally spot blockers before they happen, keep teams aligned without breaking a sweat, and enjoy a good budget spreadsheet just as much as a creative brainstorm, you’ll fit right in.

• Act as the glue between internal teams (media, creative, analytics) and external stakeholders
• Support campaign & testing setup, approvals, QA processes, and performance check-ins
• Proactively identify blockers, propose solutions, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
• Drive continuous improvement in how we work - from kickoff through reporting
• Support testing roadmaps and structured end-to-end test planning
• Own project financials – maintain budget overviews, support invoicing processes, and partner with finance team
