Position: Project Manager – II (Events)
Location: 100% Remote

Duration: 4+ Months
180156
Pay Range: $65/hr to $70/hr

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
