Senior Project Manager

Senior Marketing Project Manager


About the Role

We're looking for a highly organized and collaborative Senior Marketing Project Manager to lead the planning, execution, and delivery of marketing campaigns and initiatives across our consumer/retail brand. You'll sit at the center of our marketing org, keeping cross-functional teams aligned and ensuring every project lands on time, on budget, and on brand.


What You'll Do

Project & Campaign Management

  • Own end-to-end project management for integrated marketing campaigns — from seasonal launches and product releases to in-store activations and digital initiatives.
  • Build and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, and budgets across multiple simultaneous workstreams.
  • Track milestones, flag risks early, and drive resolution to keep projects on schedule.

Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Serve as the primary liaison between Marketing, Creative, Merchandising, E-commerce, Retail Operations, and external agencies or vendors.
  • Lead kickoff meetings, weekly standups, and stakeholder reviews; create clear recaps and action items.
  • Manage intake and prioritization of marketing requests across the team.

Process & Operations

  • Develop and improve project management processes, templates, and workflows to increase team efficiency and consistency.
  • Maintain a centralized marketing calendar and ensure visibility across stakeholders.
  • Manage relationships with agencies, printers, and production vendors — including SOWs, timelines, and deliverable reviews.

Budget Management

  • Track campaign and departmental budgets; process POs and invoices in coordination with Finance.
  • Identify opportunities to optimize spend without compromising quality or timelines.

Performance & Reporting

  • Partner with channel owners to track campaign KPIs and compile post-mortems.
  • Present project status updates and retrospectives to senior leadership.

What We're Looking For

Required

  • 5–7+ years of project management experience, with at least 3 years in a marketing environment (consumer goods, retail, or CPG strongly preferred).
  • Proven track record managing complex, multi-channel marketing campaigns with multiple stakeholders.
  • Expertise with project management tools (Asana, Monday.com, Wrike, or similar).
  • Exceptional organizational skills — you can juggle a dozen projects without dropping the ball.
  • Strong communicator who can influence without authority and keep teams motivated under deadline pressure.
  • Experience managing external agencies and vendors.

Preferred

  • PMP, PMI-ACP, or equivalent certification.
  • Familiarity with retail marketing calendars, seasonal planning, and promotional cycles.
  • Experience with DAM systems, creative briefing workflows, and brand guidelines.
  • Proficiency in marketing analytics tools and basic reporting.
