Job description

WHY DEPT®?

We are a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, we create what is next by pioneering ideas, acting fast, and moving further because standing still just is not in our DNA.

We are drawn to people who stay curious, move with intent, and never stop inventing. Our culture runs on three values: better together, relentlessly curious, and get sh*t done. It is how we work, how we grow, and how we make things that matter.

At DEPT®, you will find the freedom to explore, the space to collaborate, and the trust to make a real impact for our clients, for each other, and for the world we are helping to build.

THE ROLE:

We’re looking for a Manager, Project Management with a performance marketing background and strong agency experience to join our Creative & Media division. You’ll be right at the heart of campaign execution - making sure paid media projects across social, search, and programmatic run smoothly, on time, and on budget.

This role is perfect for someone who’s confident managing fast-moving projects, loves collaborating with cross-functional teams, and thrives on bringing structure. You’ll partner closely with media strategists and channel experts to keep work flowing and clients happy - from kickoff to wrap-up. You’ll play a key role in managing our day-to-day work, keeping things moving, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

This role is ideal for someone with solid foundational project management skills who’s ready to step up - bringing more structure, ownership, and strategic thinking to the table. If you naturally spot blockers before they happen, keep teams aligned without breaking a sweat, and enjoy a good budget spreadsheet just as much as a creative brainstorm, you’ll fit right in.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Lead and own day-to-day project delivery across multiple performance marketing projects - spanning media planning & strategy, social advertising, programmatic, media and creative testing

• Define clear requirements across media, creative, and strategy

• Build timelines and coordinate deliverables using tools like Asana, Trello, or Jira, while making sure we stay within project scope / budget

• Act as the glue between internal teams (media, creative, analytics) and external stakeholders

• Support campaign & testing setup, approvals, QA processes, and performance check-ins

• Proactively identify blockers, propose solutions, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks

• Drive continuous improvement in how we work - from kickoff through reporting
