What does a Senior Project Manager do at WPP Production?

Senior Project Managers own the end‑to‑end project management of projects. They are responsible for intake, delivering a completed project on time and to specification.

The Senior Project Manager is everyone's point person for requests they are assigned to.

Senior Project Managers relay information about the timing, scope, budgets, resources, and changes to the project plan. This role will interact directly with the teams across the South Region (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay), working on projects with this team during the schedule of 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The successful candidate will use their superior problem‑solving skills, possess a strategic mindset, and always strive for continuous improvement. They will have a strong passion for digital marketing and creative development.
