About Our Team
The Events & Experiences Creative PMO sits within Global Brand Marketing and is responsible for the end-to-end program and project management of our event experiences — from flagship programs like Dreamforce to regional activations and always-on brand moments. We are the operational engine behind creative delivery, partnering closely with Brand, Marketing stakeholders and cross-functional partners to bring big ideas to life on time, on scope and on budget.
About This Role
We're looking for a driven, highly organized Project Manager to serve as the operational backbone of our Events & Experiences Creative PMO. In this role, you'll be the connective tissue that keeps every event and experience workstream moving, every priority sharp, and every stakeholder informed. From driving planning for major brand moments to running weekly stand-ups and ensuring leadership walks into every meeting ready to make decisions, you'll be the reason this team operates at its best.
With strong organizational instincts and a natural ability to communicate across both team and executive levels, you'll help the team intake, prioritize, and deliver week over week.
Reporting directly to the Director, Program/Project Management you will sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, driving key event and experience project workstreams to ensure they deliver on time, on scope and on budget.
What You Will Do
Project Management & Workstream Oversight
Work to track and manage key event and experience workstreams, ensuring deadlines, owners, and milestones are clearly documented and maintained
Maintain project trackers and provide regular status updates to stakeholders
Build and manage project plans for events and experiences from kickoff through delivery with clarity and accountability
Coordinate cross-functional dependencies across creative, brand, and production teams; flag blockers or risks proactively and help facilitate resolution
Executive Communications & Meeting Support
Organize talking points and agendas for weekly meetings
Utilizing our AI tools take notes, capture decisions, and track action items from leadership syncs
Draft and send executive-facing recaps and follow-up communications
Help drive decision-making by ensuring the right context and information is surfaced ahead of meetings
Event & Experience Planning
Support planning processes for events, including timeline management, template creation, and facilitation of planning sessions
Synthesize team inputs into a consolidated view of priorities, capacity, and commitments
Partner with stakeholders to ensure plans are realistic and aligned with broader organizational goals
Intake & Prioritization Management
Support monitoring and managing the team's intake channel, triaging incoming requests
Work with team SMEs to develop a consistent process for evaluating, prioritizing, and routing requests
Maintain a visible backlog of work to support ongoing planning conversations
What Experience You Have
5-7+ years of project or program management experience, ideally within events, experiential marketing, creative, or brand organizations
Experience managing event and experience workstreams — from planning through on-site/live execution
Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously
Experience supporting executive-level stakeholders, including preparing materials and facilitating decision-making
Comfortable owning a planning process end-to-end — from timeline setting to facilitation to synthesis
Experience managing intake and prioritization processes across a team or function
High level of comfort with Slack, Google Suite (Slides, Sheets, Docs), and project tracking tools
Ability to work independently, take initiative, and maintain momentum without close oversight
Agency or in-house events/creative/marketing team experience preferred
Why You Are Excited About This Role
You thrive in roles where you're the one keeping everything organized and moving — and you take pride in it
You are energized by cross-functional complexity and find clarity where others see challenges
You enjoy working with executives and know how to communicate with precision and context
You want to make a real impact in a fast-paced, high-visibility team delivering flagship brand experiences
You are comfortable with ambiguity and adapt quickly when priorities shift
Why We Are Excited About You
You can help the team operate at pace with minimal disruption
You know how to give clear leadership visibility into what's in flight and what decisions are needed
You communicate clearly, concisely, and with purpose — whether it's a Slack update or an SVP-facing recap
You make the work feel organized, because great operations is part of great output
