Job description

The Senior Project Manager we want doesn't just use Accountability; they question it, improve it, and teach it, all from our Chicago, IL hub. With 7 years of experience under your belt, you'll step into a part-time position paying $116,000 - $171,000 where ownership and momentum matter.

Key Responsibilities

• Turn 8 of pattern recognition into faster general calls
• Coordinate scheduling, resources, and logistics for assigned tasks
• Earn the trust to make deeply collaborative judgment calls without a committee
• Keep NBCUniversal's Cross-Functional Collaboration pipeline humming without constant hand-holding
• Sense when a Chicago relationship needs a call, not an email
• Keep the part-time schedule realistic when everyone wants everything yesterday
• Provide hands-on support to colleagues and NBCUniversal clients as needed
• Make the refreshingly-candid call when the data points two different directions

What You'll Bring

• Comfort owning general decisions in an IL market
• Proven track record delivering results as a Senior Project Manager
• Fluency in Networking earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written

At the heart of NBCUniversal is a team-oriented belief that great general software should feel effortless. Slack threads here stay civil because we critique the Accountability work, not the human behind it.

We trade fair $116,000 - $171,000 for your talent and throw in mentorship, benefits, and a flexibility policy people actually use.

The team in Chicago is interviewing on a rolling basis, so early applicants get noticed first.
