Project Manager
About SH/FT
Shift Paradigm is a client services business that focuses on implementing and activating technology and data to make sales and marketing work. Our people bring combined experience across technology, data & analytics, business strategy and campaign operations to accelerate our clients' businesses. We keep pace with change in modern marketing and technology in order to create both effective, scalable and future-proof solutions for our clients that span both the Fortune 500 list and emerging industry leaders. We have also built strong relationships with the world's most influential martech platforms and are key partners to them and their clients.
We're looking for a Mid or Senior Project Manager to join our Project Management team of 5 PMs who orchestrate hyper-personalized email programs and digital campaigns for our major financial services client.
In this role, you’ll be our clients’ trusted point person, working with a multi-disciplined team to track and manage content and creative throughout the approval process to deployment and analysis. Your duties will include overseeing monthly content and creative, creating testing documentation, and assisting with email testing and Q/A. You will own and execute multiple work streams of the channel from start to finish.
Success in this role means having great relationships with our clients, being a savvy problem solver, having precise attention to detail, managing multiple deliverables, being well organized, and pushing our company and our client’s company toward their revenue-driving goals.
- Own multiple concurrent projects involving cross-functional teams with complex scopes. You'll run internal and external daily scrums and client status meetings, create timelines, maintain project plans, and proactively identify risks, dependencies, and blockers before they derail delivery.
- Scope and resource projects, working closely with your PM peers to run a smooth ship with the right cast of characters.
- Navigate between structure and speed: Fortune 500 clients have rigid processes, but the work moves fast. You'll apply the right methodology for each engagement rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Monitor project health and profitability: track time, burn rates, and budget adherence. Escalate overages and risks before they become problems.
- Track and manage content and creative through reviews, approval, and distribution of final assets, all with a killer attention-to-detail to deliver pixel perfect work, all of the time.
You're a super-organized problem solver, who motivates the whole team to make great things happen. You keep everyone honest and on-time, fostering an environment of accountability, learning, and teamwork. You can create structure and translate complexity into next steps, using data to inform your decisions. You see dependencies before they become blockers.
You're proactive, solutions-oriented, and relentlessly focused on the details that matter, but you never lose sight of the big picture or the client's goals.
- 3+ years of project management experience in fast-paced, agile environments (agency, consulting, or digital marketing)
- Proven expertise in email marketing as a performance-driven channel. You understand lifecycle strategy, personalization, and how email drives revenue
- Hands-on experience with project portfolio management (PPM) tools and enterprise email service providers (ESPs)
- Financial services sector experience (banking, credit cards, investments)
- Salesforce Marketing Cloud certification
- Experience with Movable Ink (we can train on this)
- You've built strong relationships with your team and key stakeholders across Strategy, Creative, and Technical teams
- Your clients trust you and you’ve proven yourself as their project lead
- You’ve nailed our internal and external processes and bring your own experience to the table to make us - and the work - smarter
- You're managing your own client projects, delivering on-time and on-budget
