Company Overview Our client is a performance marketing agency specializing in mission-driven organizations across higher education and nonprofit sectors. They combine sharp strategy, creative excellence, and data-driven execution to help universities and organizations achieve measurable growth — enrollments, applications, inquiries, and awareness. In this role, you'll own project planning, process, and delivery across the agency — guiding client work from conception to completion, on time and within budget, across every service line. Your Role As Senior Project Manager, you'll own project delivery end-to-end: planning, scheduling, budgeting, and process — across projects of all sizes and all service lines. This is a role for someone who brings a clear point of view on how work should run, not someone who waits to be told. You'll partner closely with finance to understand project profitability, and with department leads to ensure the right people are staffed on the right work at the right time.
