We blend imaginative storytelling and performance‑driven strategies with cutting‑edge technology to create engaging digital experiences that build lasting relationships with clients such as Netflix, Foot Locker, Philips & Biscoff.
We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager with strong technical PM skills and paid media expertise to join our team. You’ll be the strategic force behind high‑impact campaigns for one of the world’s leading technology companies, managing complex paid search and media projects that drive significant annual revenue. Your ability to bring structure to ambitious, fast‑paced initiatives while simultaneously driving strategic advancement and team excellence will be essential. You’ll own the delivery of sophisticated, multi‑channel initiatives while shaping how our team works, scales, and delivers exceptional results for a integral brand.
Job Purpose A Senior Project Manager at DEPT® is a strategic leader who doesn’t just manage projects—you direct them. You’re the calm authority in complex, high‑stakes environments, turning chaos into structure and ambiguity into clear action plans. Your leadership isn’t about administration; it’s about setting direction, elevating team performance, and keeping both clients and stakeholders aligned on what truly matters. You possess the rare combination of hands‑on execution excellence and strategic vision—managing intricate paid media operations while simultaneously shaping processes, building roadmaps, and enabling your teams to deliver at their highest level. Your communication cuts through complexity; you speak fluently with clients, designers, developers, and leadership alike. You know when to drive forward and when to redirect, ensuring projects don’t just succeed—they exceed expectations.
Key Responsibilities
Own the delivery and execution of complex paid media and search campaigns, managing scope, risks, dependencies, and shifting client priorities to ensure on‑time, on‑budget, high‑quality project outcomes.
Drive team enablement and process excellence through sprint planning, structured communication flows, roadmap development, and optimization of PM tools and workflows to elevate delivery standards.
Partner strategically with cross‑functional teams to define processes, establish best practices and translate business objectives into tangible action plans.
Serve as a strategic advisor and direction‑setter to the client, managing ad‑hoc requests and strategic projects while maintaining clear communication, managing expectations, and keeping momentum on critical initiatives.
What We Are Looking For
Extensive experience as a Project Manager in digital marketing, media, or complex project environments.
Proven experience managing large‑scale, complex paid media and search campaigns, with deep understanding of paid search project complexity.
Demonstrated ability to create structure and process in fast‑paced environments.
Strong leadership capabilities with a “direction setter” mindset—someone who confidently guides both clients and teams back on track when priorities shift.
Expert‑level proficiency with project management tools (bonus points if that’s Asana!).
Extensive experience in scope management, sprint planning, and delivery timeline creation.
Proven track record as a team builder and enabler, with the ability to elevate team performance and establish workflows that empower rather than burden.
Experience managing complex stakeholder landscapes, including ability to translate between technical teams, creative departments, and C‑level business stakeholders.
Expertise in establishing structured communication flows, performance reporting, and process frameworks that drive accountability and results.
Excellent client management and communication skills, with ability to manage ad‑hoc requests, handle scope changes, and maintain clear stakeholder alignment.
Fluency in English.
