• Align cross-functional dependencies across Data Engineering, Client Success, Campaign Management, and Ad Ops teams.
• Ensure risk-mitigation frameworks are active to prevent scope creep, campaign delivery delays, or data discrepancies.
• Resource & Pipeline Allocation
• Track and manage team capacities across dynamic client demands, implementing systems to optimize utilization without risking project burnout.
• Facilitate data-driven capacity planning for technical roles handling platforms like Snowflake, GA4, Google Ad Manager (GAM), and core programmatic wrappers.
• Stakeholder Communication & Reporting
• Act as a central hub of truth, presenting clear metrics-driven dashboards on project status, ROI tracking, and execution bottlenecks to executive leadership and key account leads.
• Ensure clear alignment during Site Onboarding, Migrations, and Business Reviews (HBRs/QBRs).
• Management Certifications & Tooling
• Proficiency in Agile/Scrum methodologies; hands-on expertise with project governance tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Asana, Monday.com, or Smartsheet).
• PMP, Prince2, or Agile/Scrum Master certification is highly preferred.
• Expert-level organizational, communication, and risk assessment skills.
