• Coordinate work across social, creative, PR, internal communications, events, and digital stakeholders.
• Manage a centralized marketing calendar, ensuring visibility of key launches, events, and campaigns.
• Run regular status meetings, track progress, and proactively identify risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks.
• Balance capacity across specialists and recommend trade-offs or rescheduling when needed.
• Maintain accurate project documentation and keep project management tools up to date.
• Support post-campaign reviews with data and insights on timelines, process issues, and improvements.

Minimum qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, business, project management, or a related field.
• 3–5 years’ experience in project management, marketing coordination, or a similar role within a marketing or agency environment.
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple concurrent projects with cross-functional stakeholders and tight deadlines.
• Proven organizational and time-management skills, with a track record of on-time delivery.

Preferred qualifications

• 5+ years’ experience as a marketing project manager, program manager, campaign manager, traffic manager, or similar role.
• Experience in B2B and/or technical or industrial sectors, working with complex product portfolios or multiple product lines.
• Background coordinating integrated campaigns across several channels (events, social, PR, brand/creative, digital).
• Experience working in a matrix organization with product marketing, central/shared services, and digital teams.
• Formal project management training or certification (e.g. PRINCE2, CAPM, PMP, ScrumMaster) is an advantage.
• Familiarity with marketing and collaboration tools (e.g. CRM/marketing automation, CMS, social schedulers, analytics dashboards, Teams/Slack).

Skills and capabilities

Project & planning

• Ability to translate high-level campaign briefs into structured project plans with clear milestones, responsibilities, and dependencies.
• Strong capacity planning and workload management across multiple specialists and campaigns.
• Competence in risk identification, mitigation planning, and proactive escalation.
• Comfort using project management methodologies (e.g. agile/kanban, basic waterfall) and adapting them pragmatically.

Communication & stakeholder management

• Excellent facilitation skills for kick-offs, status meetings, and retrospectives.
• Ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders at different levels (e.g. Marketing Director, PMKs, Digital, specialists, and occasionally Sales or Product Management).
• Skilled at translating subjective feedback (e.g. creative notes) into clear, actionable tasks and next steps.
• Strong relationship-building skills; able to influence without direct authority and navigate competing priorities.

Analytical & technical

• Comfort with basic data and metrics to track project performance (e.g. on-time delivery, throughput, cycle times, rework rates).
• Ability to interpret core marketing metrics (e.g. event registrations, webinar attendance, campaign timelines vs. impact) to inform planning.
• Proficiency in project management and collaboration tools, including setting up dashboards, boards, and reporting views.

Marketing literacy

• Understanding of the typical lifecycle of marketing campaigns (briefing, creative development, approvals, production, launch, reporting).
• Awareness of key marketing channels (events, social, PR, advertising, internal comms, digital) and their typical lead times.
• Ability to spot cross-channel dependencies, such as when event timelines affect PR, social, and email plans.

Personal attributes

• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure.
• Proactive, solution-oriented mindset; able to anticipate issues and propose options instead of just flagging problems.
• Flexible and comfortable with change; able to re-plan quickly when priorities shift.
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability for delivery, even without being the content “creator.”
