Job description
We are seeking a hands-on Senior Project Manager / Program Manager to drive planning, organization, and execution across a fast-moving Data & Analytics portfolio.
This is an execution-focused role not a strategy, transformation, or ERP implementation position.
You will serve as the operational right-hand to the Head of the Data & Analytics organization, ensuring initiatives are prioritized, organized, visible, and delivered on track.
Requirements:
Media/Entertainment background will have an upper hand.
5+ years of project management, program management, PMO, or Chief of Staff experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams.
Proven experience operating and managing portfolios, not just individual projects.
Strong hands-on experience with Asana; Jira, Smartsheet, or MS Project also relevant.
Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills; experience with collaboration tools such as Teams, Slack, or SharePoint.
Demonstrated experience with RAID, RAG reporting, project governance, risk management, and dependency tracking.
Working knowledge of Data & Analytics environments, with the ability to understand technical work, challenge assumptions, and identify delivery risks.
Strong executive communication and stakeholder management skills.
Highly organized, detail-oriented, and relentless on follow-through.
Comfortable working in ambiguity and holding teams accountable to commitments and dates.
Responsibilities:
Own the D&A intake and prioritization process, ensuring requests are captured, evaluated, prioritized, and converted into actionable plans.
Maintain a master portfolio in Asana, with clear ownership, scope, stage, priority, and timelines.
Own integrated project plans, critical paths, dependencies, milestones, and delivery dates.
Drive accountability by proactively tracking owners, blockers, risks, dependencies, and decisions.
Establish and run weekly operating cadences, status reviews, and leadership reporting.
Develop clear RAG reporting, RAID logs, decision logs, and executive dashboards.
Coordinate dependencies across Data & Analytics and partner functions including Finance, Procurement, Technology, and Enterprise Solutions.
Partner with technical leads to sequence work and translate complex technical topics into concise, business-facing updates.
Maintain scope discipline and distinguish committed deliverables from future enhancements.
Provide leadership with a single, reliable view of portfolio health, risks, decisions, and priorities.
