Integrated Project Manager (Contract-to-Hire)

Seeking an Integrated Project Manager to join our growing team in Chicago. This is an immediate need driven by new client business and offers the opportunity to come in on a contract-to-hire basis, with the potential for long-term growth within the organization.

We are open to two profiles for this role:

A strong Project Manager with 3+ years of experience who is ready to continue growing within an agency environment

Or a more experienced Project Manager with 6–8+ years of relevant experience who can immediately lead and optimize integrated marketing initiatives

This role is heavily focused on digital marketing campaigns, though experience across traditional marketing channels is also valuable as many of our clients continue transitioning from traditional media into digital-first strategies.

This is not a hybrid Account Management/Project Management role; however, the ideal candidate must be comfortable in client-facing situations and capable of leading conversations, presenting updates, and managing communication with confidence when needed.

Our clients span industries including Travel & Leisure, CPG, and Emerging Tech, and our teams bring expertise across the full digital ecosystem. We believe work should be both challenging and rewarding. You'll collaborate with a tight-knit team of talented professionals who genuinely enjoy working together and are passionate about delivering exceptional results.

This role follows our hybrid work model, with in-office collaboration Mondays and Wednesdays at our Chicago office overlooking Millennium Park and Lake Michigan.
