- Foster a productive, inclusive, and collaborative environment across distributed teams in various geographies and time zones.
- Manage project profitability, resource allocation, and proactively mitigate risks and issues.
- Support pre-sales activities by preparing proposals, statements of work, and change requests.
- Maintain governance standards, regularly updating project documentation and compliance.
What you'll bring:
- Experience: Experience in digital project management, preferably in agency or consulting contexts, with a track record in marketing automation, CRM, and CMS implementations.
- Technical: Experience with PM/Workflow platforms (Wrike or Monday) and collaboration tools (Slack, Teams, Zoom). Familiarity with HTML, XML, JavaScript, SQL, APIs, and DevOps processes is advantageous.
- Certifications: PMP, Scrum Master, or SAFe certification preferred.
