Senior Project Manager

Critical Mass is hiring an accomplished Senior Project Manager to lead high‑impact digital campaigns in a fast‑paced agency environment. As the primary Project Manager on a major account, you will drive strategy, own end‑to‑end delivery, and make an immediate impact without a support net. This role is ideal for a strategic thinker who thrives under pressure, leads independently, and is energized by managing complex projects.

• Lead campaign initiatives independently, managing execution and planning.
• Manage end‑to‑end project delivery including scope, schedule, budget, resource allocation, reporting, and change management for fast‑paced digital campaigns.
• Drive strategic conversations with discipline leads (creative, design, marketing science, engineering) to set approach, develop roadmaps, and align on objectives and strategies.
• Operate in a dynamic, multitasking environment requiring agility to move fast, adapt quickly, and maintain focus on driving goals even under high‑pressure situations.
• Develop and communicate project roadmaps and timelines while managing stakeholder expectations around scope, schedule, deliverables, and business outcomes.
• Own financial stewardship, including budget management, revenue forecasting, and resource optimization to maximize campaign ROI.
• Organize and structure complex activities with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring seamless coordination across multiple workstreams and stakeholders.

• 4–6 years of agency and campaign management experience demonstrating proven capability to drive work forward independently; preferably a senior PM track record or strong multi‑hat experience.
• Mastery of core Project Management fundamentals including schedule development, scope management, financial management, resource planning, and change management.
• Advanced proficiency with productivity and collaboration tools such as MS Office, Smartsheet, Keynote, Outlook, Jira, and Confluence.
• Demonstrated experience managing client conversations around scope, schedule, budget, and strategic roadmaps; ability to build and maintain strong stakeholder relationships.
• Strategic mindset as an approach setter, capable of establishing processes, methodologies, and frameworks rather than solely executing within existing structures.
• Strong leadership and decision‑making skills with excellent communication, facilitation, negotiation, and presentation abilities; demonstrated responsiveness to feedback.
• Solutions‑oriented leadership with the ability to lead by example, solve complex problems, and empower discipline leads to execute effectively.
• Experience managing dynamic, fast‑paced campaign environments with ability to multitask, prioritize effectively, and deliver quality results under pressure.

• Global maternity and parental leave.
• Competitive benefits packages.
• Vacation, compassionate leave, sick days, and flex days.
• Access to online services for families and new parents.
• Diversity and Inclusion Board with 12 affinity groups.
• Internal learning and development programs.
• Enterprise‑wide employee discounts.
