About the RoleAs a Senior Project Manager, you will oversee multiple creative projects across a portfolio of client accounts, ensuring work is delivered on time, on budget, and at a high level of quality. This is a metric-driven role with clear expectations around project delivery, profitability, client satisfaction, and revenue growth across your portfolio.
You’ll work across a mix of ongoing membership accounts, fast-turn creative requests, and larger strategic initiatives.
