The posting

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions.

Edelman is looking for a Vice President, Program Director to join our U.S. Project Management team. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced program management leader to oversee integrated client programs, partner with talented teams across disciplines, and help shape how we deliver exceptional work.

At Edelman, our Project Management team sits at the center of the business, connecting strategy, creativity, and execution to bring bold ideas to life. From consumer and healthcare to technology, financial services, retail, and beyond, we help deliver integrated communications and marketing programs that drive meaningful impact.

If you're a strategic, solutions-oriented leader who enjoys solving complex challenges, building strong teams, and finding smarter ways to work, we'd love to hear from you.

Who You Are

You're a collaborative and commercially minded leader who sees the big picture while understanding what it takes to deliver. You bring structure to complexity, anticipate challenges, and know how to balance client expectations, business priorities, and team needs. You're equally comfortable advising senior stakeholders, managing program financials, and coaching project management talent. Above all, you're curious, adaptable, and motivated by helping people and programs succeed.

What You'll Do

  • Lead a portfolio of integrated client programs, providing strategic oversight across multiple workstreams, disciplines, and teams to ensure successful delivery.
  • Partner with Account, Strategy, Creative, Production, and Specialty teams to shape project approaches, scopes of work, staffing plans, timelines, and budgets.
  • Oversee program financials, forecasting, and resource planning to ensure work is delivered on time, within scope, and profitably.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to internal stakeholders and clients, guiding conversations around delivery strategy, project performance, risks, and commercial considerations.
  • Anticipate challenges, navigate competing priorities, and lead proactive problem-solving and change management to keep programs moving forward.
  • Establish scalable processes, governance frameworks, and quality standards that strengthen collaboration, accountability, and operational efficiency.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop project management talent through coaching, performance feedback, and opportunities for professional growth.
  • Champion continuous improvement, innovation, and inclusive ways of working. DEIB is everyone's responsibility, and we expect Edelman colleagues to demonstrate respect, embrace diverse perspectives, and practice conscious inclusion and continuous learning.

Basic Qualifications

  • A minimum of 8 years of progressive project management experience within an integrated marketing, communications, public relations agency, or related professional services environment.
  • A bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience leading complex, integrated programs across multiple disciplines, with accountability for delivery, financial performance, and operational outcomes.
  • Strong commercial and financial acumen, including experience developing scopes of work, budgets, forecasts, staffing models, and sustainable delivery plans.
  • Experience leading, coaching, and developing project management teams while fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment.
  • Ability to build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and clients, influence decisions, and navigate ambiguity with confidence.
  • Proficiency with project management methodologies and platforms such as Smartsheet or comparable tools, with an interest in improving workflows and operational efficiency.
  • AI fluency, including the ability to evaluate and responsibly apply AI-enabled tools to enhance project delivery, productivity, and team effectiveness.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with a proactive approach to managing risks, competing priorities, and complex business challenges.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
