Who we are looking for:

Group SJR is seeking a Project Manager to manage the day-to-day of client deliverables spanning across mediums, from conception to delivery. This person will report into a Senior Director and partner with a large account and content team, working in a hybrid model in our NYC WPP campus at 3 World Trade Center.

What you'll do:

Lead | Own intake of all incoming requests (ensuring briefs are clear, complete, and aligned to priorities). Oversee the full project life cycle from initiation to completion, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and budget. Translate client/account needs into actionable workflows for editorial + design. Establish clear processes (approval flows, briefing templates, etc.). Drive weekly status / reporting to keep all stakeholders aligned.

Process | Build and manage timelines across multiple concurrent workstreams. Run resourcing across editors/designers to ensure balanced workload and avoid bottlenecks. Implement a structured intake + triage system (what gets prioritized, what gets deprioritized). Manage fast-turn / reactive content alongside planned work. Ensure consistency across outputs despite multiple client groups (process + QA). Ensure the maintenance of an archive of all project documentation for easy access by stakeholders. Identify opportunities to enhance the organization's project management capabilities and processes.

Collaborate | Partner closely with account leads to align on priorities. Act as a central point of communication across account, strategy, editorial, and design. Proactively flag risks, gaps, or capacity issues and propose solutions. Demonstrate problem-solving skills when addressing client feedback or project constraints. Create visibility across all content in flight (dashboards / trackers)

What you'll need:

• 4-8+ years of experience in project management (agency setting a plus).
• Proven experience managing projects across various disciplines.
• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and multitasking abilities.
• Comfortable managing resources and workflows in a high-volume, fast-paced environment.
• Comfortable working across large matrixed teams and organizations
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Flexible, adaptable, and responsive to quick turnarounds.
• Proficient knowledge of project management tools such as Excel, Smartsheet, Airtable, JIRA, and Confluence.
• Experience using collaborative team communication and project management applications like BOX, Microsoft Teams, Monday.com, and Miro.
• Experience with content management systems like Contentful and WordPress.
• Based in NYC, or able to work east coast hours in a hybrid capacity at one of our offices.
