  • Apply strong knowledge across process management, scope and change management, budget management, stakeholder and engagement management, and risk management.
  • Bring 8 to 10+ years of project or program management experience in a media agency, marketing, advertising or marketing technology, software development, creative agency, or consulting environment. Media agency experience is preferred.
  • Demonstrate strong organization, documentation, prioritization, problem solving, workload balancing, communication, and escalation skills in fast-moving, structured and unstructured environments.
  • Collaborate professionally and authoritatively with diverse stakeholders, bring clarity to ambiguity, and drive measurable progress.
  • Plan, organize, and lead effective meetings, workstreams, and large and small cross-functional teams across application development, data, reporting, and analytics.
  • Communicate effectively through verbal updates, email, long-form documents, presentations, and collaboration platforms.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of Media, Data Strategy, Client Analytics, first-party data enablement, audience prioritization and segmentation, sources of growth, campaign performance, and request management.

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.
