Senior Project Manager, Agile Marketing

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager, Agile Marketing, to join our marketing team and serve as the operational backbone of how we plan, prioritize, and deliver work. This is not a traditional project manager role, and it is not a role inheriting a finished system. You will have the opportunity to build the agile practice from the ground up and then run it.

As the team's Scrum Master, process architect, and cross-functional connector, you will:

• Design the workflows, configure the tooling, establish the ceremonies, and create the cultural habits that transform how our marketing team operates.
• Own and continuously improve that system — ensuring our marketing function operates with the speed, transparency, and adaptability that today's AI-driven compliance market demands.

This role will report to the Chief Marketing Officer and is designed for someone who is energized by a blank page, comfortable with ambiguity in the build phase, and disciplined enough to hold the system accountable once it is running.

What You'll Do

• Build the Agile System, Then Run It
  • Assess the current state of marketing operations and design a Scrumban framework tailored to Ncontracts' team structure, content cadence, and cross-functional dependencies.
  • Select, configure, and implement a unified work management platform migrating the team to a central platform (currently on Wrike and Monday.com).
  • Establish intake processes, backlog structure, sprint rhythms, and ceremony cadences from scratch, then facilitate them week over week.
  • Coordinate tiered review and approval processes across Marketing, Product, Legal, and Compliance, ensuring the right stakeholders are engaged at the right stage without creating bottlenecks.
  • Train and coach the marketing team on agile principles and practices, building the habits and mindset that make the system self-sustaining.
• Agile Operations and Sprint Management
  • Own and facilitate the full Scrumban cycle including daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives, keeping the team focused and unblocked.
  • Manage and maintain the marketing backlog, ensuring stories and briefs are well-defined, prioritized, and sized before each weekly intake meeting.
  • Track sprint velocity, capacity, cycle time, and throughput, using data to continuously improve team performance.
  • Implement pre-commitment mapping, providing advance notification and lead time to stakeholders, to surface cross-team dependencies before they become sprint blockers.
  • Serve as the primary liaison between Marketing and stakeholders in Sales, Product, Legal, and Compliance, proactively surfacing dependencies and clearing blockers before they impact sprint commitments.
  • Build and maintain real-time visibility dashboards that align every team member with shared enterprise outcomes and pipeline KPIs.
• AI and Workflow Innovation
  • Lead the marketing team's adoption of AI tools across brief writing, content production, campaign operations, and workflow automation — evaluating new tools quickly and building team habits around the ones that deliver.
  • Design and maintain automated approval workflows that run creative and brand reviews in parallel while preserving sequential compliance sign-off.
  • Identify opportunities for multi-step workflow automation as the team's AI maturity grows, advancing from task-level tools toward more connected, autonomous processes over time.
• Measurement and Continuous Improvement
  • Drive the team's shift from activity metrics to outcome metrics, reporting on what drives pipeline and revenue impact— not just what gets produced.
  • Track and report the adoption of AI to increase creative and content throughput, and revenue impact.
  • Translate retrospective findings into measurable process improvements sprint over sprint.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as an Agile Project Manager, Scrum Master, or Marketing Operations Project Manager.
• Demonstrated experience standing up an agile practice — not just inheriting one — including tooling selection, process design, and team onboarding.
• Hands-on experience facilitating Scrum, Kanban, or Scrumban for a marketing, content, or demand generation team.
• Proven ability to manage cross-functional dependencies across internal functions including Marketing, Legal, Product, and Sales.
• Fluency with modern project management platforms (Monday.com, Wrike, Workfront, or equivalent) and the ability to configure workflows, boards, and dashboards.
• Strong data orientation — comfortable tracking sprint metrics, KPIs, and presenting performance trends to leadership.
• Working fluency with AI tools in a professional setting, including prompt engineering, workflow automation, or AI-assisted content production, with the ability to evaluate new tools and drive team adoption.

Requirements

• Strongly Preferred: Scrum Master or Project Management certification (CSM, PSM, PMP) or equivalent agile training.
• Experience in B2B SaaS, fintech, or financial services marketing.
• Hands-on experience implementing multi-step automation pipelines within a marketing or operations function, with measurable results in throughput or cycle time.

Benefits

• A fun, fast-paced work environment.
• Responsible PTO Plan that meets or exceeds state and local medical and family leave laws.
• 11 paid holidays.
• Community and social events to keep you connected and engaged.
• Mental Health Benefits.
• Medical, Dental and Vision insurance.
• Company-paid Group Life Insurance, Short- and Long-Term Disability.
• Flexible Spending Account & Health Savings Account.
• Aflac Benefits – Critical Illness, Cancer Protection, & Hospital Choice.
• Pet Insurance.
• 401 (k) with company match with eligibility on Day 1 of employment.
• 2 Paid Volunteer Time Off Days.
• And much more!
