Project Manager

Durham, NC, New York, NY, Irvington, NY, Phoenix, AZ,

At Attention Arc, we exist to make media matter. As part of our Project Management team — The Orchestrators — you bring rhythm, structure, and clarity to the work that fuels our impact. You ensure teams move with intention, anticipate what’s needed next, and align around shared outcomes so the many moving pieces of media strategy, activation, and delivery come together with precision and pace.

In this role, you sit at the center of a fast-moving, cross-functional ecosystem. You translate complexity into action, create the conditions for great thinking, and foster the human connection that keeps collaboration seamless and energizing. You’ll guide projects from brief through delivery, ensuring every step reflects the quality, curiosity, and care that define how we work.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Lead day-to-day project management across integrated media engagements, ensuring strategy, research, planning, activation, analytics, and creative teams move forward with clarity, focus, and shared purpose.

  • Build project plans, timelines, scopes of work, and communication frameworks that provide structure without stifling creativity, experimentation, or cross-team curiosity.

  • Facilitate alignment across disciplines — connecting the right people at the right moment to accelerate decisions, unlock insight, and remove friction.

  • Manage resourcing, workflows, and prioritization to maintain quality, velocity, and realistic expectations for both teams and clients.

  • Run internal and external meetings with clarity and intention, ensuring discussions lead to actionable next steps, accountability, and momentum.

  • Track requirements, deliverables, risks, and dependencies; escalate challenges early, constructively, and with potential solutions in hand.

  • Partner with Account Services to support client communication, ensuring delivery is accurate, transparent, and grounded in care.

  • Contribute to ongoing process improvement — helping refine how we estimate, plan, collaborate, and use technology to work smarter.

  • Model Attention Arc’s cultural operating system — Credibility, Clarity, Connection, and Care — in every interaction to strengthen how our teams show up and work together.


WHAT YOU’LL BRING

  • 5–7 years of project management experience within media, advertising, or a related integrated marketing environment.

  • Deep familiarity with media workflows, including strategy, planning, activation, trafficking, analytics, delivery, and creative handoffs.

  • Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills — including formulas, dataset organization, trackers, and reporting structures.

  • Technical proficiency with project management tools (e.g., Asana, Monday.com, Jira, Smartsheet) and comfort navigating media-specific systems and shared platforms.

  • Ability to break down complexity into structured, actionable plans and guide teams toward what matters most.

  • Experience managing multiple concurrent projects and stakeholders with composure, clarity, and a solutions-oriented mindset.

  • Exceptional communication and organizational skills — able to simplify information, articulate needs, and bring direction to dynamic environments.

  • A track record of building trusting relationships, collaborating without ego, and supporting teammates with generosity and integrity.

  • Strong risk-identification instincts and the ability to propose thoughtful paths forward while maintaining accountability across teams.

  • Curiosity and a continuous-improvement mindset — eager to enhance systems, not just maintain them.

  • Comfort working in an agency that is human-led, AI-accelerated, and constantly evolving.


WHO YOU ARE

You are a Project Manager who brings Attention Arc’s values to life in how you organize work, support teams, and keep projects moving with intention.

  • All In: You show up prepared, follow through on commitments, and take ownership when plans shift. When obstacles arise, you quickly outline options, recalibrate timelines, and help the team move forward with focus and confidence.
  • No Sidelines:
 You ensure no one is working in silos — sharing information proactively, connecting disciplines at the right moments, and stepping in to help when momentum stalls. You amplify others’ ideas and make collaboration feel seamless.
  • Move With Curiosity:
 You question assumptions, look for patterns in workflow challenges, and suggest smarter ways of working. You ask “why” before “how,” test improvements, and apply what you learn to make each project run better than the last.
  • Truth With Heart: You communicate with honesty and empathy. You surface risks early, offer solutions rather than surprises, and give clear feedback with care. Even in fast or stressful moments, you choose clarity, kindness, and integrity.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
