• Stakeholder Communication & Management:
• Serve as the primary point of contact for project-related communications, providing regular updates to internal teams, clients, and senior leadership.
• Translate complex technical concepts and analytical findings into clear, concise, and actionable insights for non-technical audiences.
• Manage expectations and foster strong, collaborative relationships with all project stakeholders.
• Facilitate decision-making processes and conflict resolution among project teams.
• Risk Management:
• Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks and issues, developing contingency plans as needed.
• Proactively escalate critical issues to relevant stakeholders and leadership with proposed solutions.
• Process Improvement:
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of project management processes, tools, and best practices within the Marketing Analytics function.
• Document lessons learned and apply them to future projects.
• Analytics Project Focus:
• Manage projects related to data integration, dashboard development (e.g., Tableau, Power BI), media measurement frameworks, attribution modeling, A/B testing, audience segmentation, and predictive analytics.
• Understand the interplay between media strategy, data, and analytics to ensure project outcomes directly support client business objectives.

Desired Skills & Experience:

Experience

• • Extensive experience in project management, preferably within a marketing analytics, media, digital agency, or consulting environment.
  • Demonstrated experience managing complex data-driven or analytics projects.
  • Experience working in a global or matrixed organization is highly desirable.
