- a global personal development and therapy brand serving millions worldwide.

We're looking for an exceptional
Digital Marketing Project Manager
to bring structure, predictability, and momentum to our marketing and sales operations. You'll work directly under the CMO and be responsible for translating high-level business goals into clear weekly sprints, managing workloads across marketing, funnel, creative, and implementation teams, and protecting priorities from ad-hoc disruption.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments but knows how to create order, maintain boundaries, and champion the right priorities - even in the face of competing demands.

Summary
You will manage the full workflow of marketing and sales projects- including funnel builds, campaign launches, automation tasks, creative production, and technical fixes. You'll coordinate with cross-functional specialists and department leads, ensure every team member is focused on the right tasks, and enforce the weekly sprint with confidence and clarity.

The ideal candidate understands digital project scoping well enough to estimate complexity, anticipate bottlenecks, and prioritise intelligently. You will be responsible for giving visibility to leadership, keeping the team aligned, and preventing ad-hoc requests from derailing progress.

At your core: you are calm, organised, assertive, and unshakeable.

Key Responsibilities
Project & Sprint Management

• Build, manage, and enforce weekly sprints across marketing, funnel, creative, tech, and media team
• Maintain a clear project roadmap aligned with company priorities and deadline
• Assign tasks, manage workload capacity, and ensure no team member becomes overloaded
• Proactively identify bottlenecks, scope creep, and risks - and resolve them before they become issues

Prioritisation & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as the gatekeeper of the marketing priority list
• Push back on unplanned tasks and clarify the downstream impact of new requests
• Challenge stakeholders respectfully when priorities conflict, using data and rationale
• Communicate timelines, trade-offs, and delivery expectations clearly

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Liaise daily with funnel builders, automation specialists, designers, media buyers, copywriters, and dev teams
• Collaborate with and hold to account external agencies and contractors
• Translate strategic goals and creative direction into actionable tasks
• Ensure interdependencies (e.g., creative → ads → funnel → automation → QA) are accounted for in planning
• Work closely with sales, product, and support to align campaigns and launches

Operational Excellence

• Run daily standups and weekly sprint reviews
• Maintain Asana as the single source of truth - clean boards, accurate statuses, zero ambiguity
• Document processes, improve workflows, and introduce systems that increase efficiency
• Track timelines, monitor velocity, and ensure projects ship on time

Reporting & Visibility

• Provide the CMO with accurate project status updates without having to be asked
• Create weekly reports outlining wins, blockers, capacity, and next steps
• Ensure everyone - specialists and leadership - knows what's happening and why

Requirements

• Provide the CMO with accurate project status updates without having to be asked
• Proven experience as a Project Manager within a digital, creative, or tech environment
• Experience managing cross-functional marketing teams
• Ability to prioritise tasks intelligently based on business value, complexity, and dependencies
• Exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail
• Strong communication skills, especially under pressure
• Ability to say "no" or "not now" with confidence and clarity
• Experience with Asana (or similar tools like ClickUp, Monday, or Notion)
• Calm, structured, assertive personality - you bring order to chaos
• Ability to anticipate issues before they arise, maintain boundaries, and protect team focus

Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with marketing systems such as
GoHighLevel, HubSpot, or WordPress
Understanding of creative workflows (design, copy, media assets)

Experience
coordinating developers or technical implementers
Knowledge of
Agile principles
and
