New York, NY

This is how and why we're helping some of the most innovative companies on the planet. We tackle problems head-on and focus on solutions that create lasting impact. 

Because when our customers win, we all win. 

 

The Role

We are looking for a proactive Marketing Project Manager with a passion for AI and automation to join our marketing operations team. In this role, you will manage multiple marketing initiatives across cross-functional teams and drive efficiency through Agile project management and AI-powered processes. You’ll coordinate complex campaigns, run effective project meetings, track timelines and team-wide MBOs, and continually refine our marketing operations to be more scalable.  By leveraging AI-powered tools for project scheduling, resource allocation, and data analysis, you’ll amplify our team’s output, reduce bottlenecks, and ensure we deliver impactful marketing campaigns on time. If you’re excited about integrating the latest AI technologies into marketing workflows to increase efficiency and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, this could be the job for you.

To be eligible for this role, you must be based in the New York City area and will be expected to come into our Manhattan office on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

You Will

  • Manage and coordinate multiple marketing projects across teams, ensuring alignment and timely delivery of all initiatives.
  • Implement Agile or Kanban practices (e.g., sprint planning, stand-ups) to streamline workflows, run productive meetings, and keep projects on schedule.
  • Develop and refine scalable processes and playbooks for AI-enhanced workflows – to improve efficiency and consistency across campaigns.
  • Identify opportunities to integrate AI and automation into marketing activities (for example, content personalization, automated email campaigns, or reporting enhancements) to boost efficiency and impact.
  • Lead the evaluation, onboarding, and implementation of new AI tools, and train team members on using these technologies effectively in their day-to-day work.

The Expectations

In the first 30 days, you will focus on onboarding and discovery. You’ll get up to speed on our company’s mission, meet your marketing teammates and key cross-functional stakeholders, and learn our existing project workflows and tools. During this time, you will conduct an audit of current marketing processes (and any existing automation or AI usage) to identify gaps and quick-win opportunities. Deliverables in this period include a brief report on the state of our marketing project management, a list of initial improvement ideas (such as simple workflow tweaks or automation opportunities), and established relationships with team members.

By 60 days, you will be actively managing projects and rolling out initial improvements. You’ll present a roadmap for integrating AI and process enhancements into our marketing operations and begin implementing a pilot initiative. This might include introducing a new AI tool (for example, an AI content assistant or an automated reporting dashboard) or improving a process (like a revamped campaign kickoff workflow). You will be running regular Agile rituals (stand-ups, retrospectives), refining how we use Asana for visibility, and gathering feedback on changes. Key deliverables by this point include a documented 60-day plan outlining your initiatives, the launch of at least one new AI-driven or process improvement pilot with early results or learnings, and team training or documentation to support the new workflow.

By 90 days, you will be driving scaled improvements and demonstrating tangible results. You’ll take successful pilots or processes and expand them, fully integrating an AI-powered workflow or tool into daily marketing activities. At this stage, you will be tracking and reporting on performance metrics to show the impact of your changes – for example, faster project turnaround times, improved campaign performance, or efficiency gains from automation. Deliverables by the 90-day mark include fully operationalized workflow improvements (with playbooks or SOPs in place), a summary of results and ROI from AI integrations, and a set of recommendations and a longer-term plan for continued innovation in our marketing workflows.

You Have

  • 4–6 years of experience in marketing project management or a similar role, preferably in a B2B SaaS or tech environment.
  • Hands-on experience with Agile or Kanban methodologies, and a track record of coordinating complex projects across multiple teams.
  • Proficiency in project management tools, especially Asana (required), and familiarity with collaboration software like Jira or Trello.
  • Strong understanding of marketing workflows and campaign processes, with the ability to manage schedules, deliverables, and stakeholders in a marketing organization.
  • Exposure to AI and automation tools in a marketing context (e.g., marketing automation platforms, AI content generation, or analytics tools) and enthusiasm for experimenting with new technologies.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills – you can run effective meetings, clearly document plans, and keep stakeholders informed and engaged.
  • A data-driven mindset, comfortable using metrics and analytics to prioritize work and measure success.
  • Both a strategic and detail-oriented mindset – able to see the big picture while ensuring nothing falls through the cracks during execution.

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.

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.
