The Nitty Gritty
The backstory on the company and why they need to hire you!
This two-billion-dollar promotional products company works with globally recognized brands and has over 200 new products going to launch in the new year. They need a Senior Project Manager who can manage all product launches from start to finish, including the development of key deliverables, timelines, and dashboards to monitor progress.

Why You?
How you’ll know if you’re a fit…
The ideal candidate has 10+ years of project management or related experience and loves checklists! You must have 5+ years experience managing physical product-launch projects (not just digital) in medium to large corporate environments in the manufacturing industry.
It goes without saying that you have strong project-management skills, including the ability to prioritize work and meet deadlines. You also have excellent presentation skills and are adept at delivering frequent updates to senior leadership. You excel at working cross-functionally and have the ability to translate users’ business requirements into a project plan. Plus, you can define KPIs and pivot initiatives based on performance. You have managerial awareness and aren’t afraid to escalate when needed. That said, you must be able to handle fast-paced, complex corporate environments with grace, ease, and accuracy.
- Experience with industry standard PPM tools or experience managing projects in MS Project
- Experience planning/organizing/monitoring project performance using appropriate program management tools and techniques in alignment with standard project management frameworks (i.e. waterfall and agile)
