HybridMarketing$128k–$153k/yrTemporary

We are proud to be consistently recognized as one of the world’s best places to work, currently the top-ranked consulting firm on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list. Our extraordinary teams are built through intentional focus on diversity of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, and skills in a supportive and inclusive environment where every individual can thrive.

Who You’ll Work With

Join a marketing role at Bain where you can apply deep expertise to help CEOs and CMOs tackle their biggest marketing challenges. Alternatively, contribute to teams that govern our prestigious brand, create thought-provoking content, execute global campaigns, and cultivate strategic accounts with major societal institutions.

Where You’ll Fit Within the Team

As a Martech Project Manager, you’ll embed directly with the program lead on a high-visibility initiative to overhaul our content management platform (CMP). You’ll serve as the connective tissue across marketing, IT, and external partners, tracking progress, clearing blockers, and ensuring seamless execution across multiple parallel workstreams: workflow redesign, agent development, platform integration, and stakeholder enablement.

Responsibilities

  • Project and sprint coordination
    • Maintain a live view of progress across workstreams and surface risks to the program lead before they become issues
    • Own sprint tracking, monitor ticket status in Jira, and flag blockers
    • Ensure action items from meetings are captured, assigned, and followed up on consistently
    • Schedule and coordinate working group meetings, stakeholder reviews, and cross-functional calls
    • Prepare meeting agendas, take notes, and distribute follow-ups
  • Stakeholder and vendor management
    • Support day-to-day coordination between Bain marketing teams, the program lead, and an external development partner responsible for platform implementation
    • Coordinate with internal stakeholders to collect inputs, confirm decisions, and unblock dependencies
    • Track open items with vendors and escalate when deliverables are at risk
  • Execution support
    • Maintain and update tracking tools (sprint boards/status trackers) and shared documentation so everyone has a current, accurate view of the program
    • Help organize and maintain project requirements as specs evolve
    • Support preparation of biweekly program update decks and status communications

Requirements

  • 5-8 years of experience in program coordination, project management, or a similar execution-focused role, ideally in technology implementation work
  • Comfortable working in Jira or equivalent project tracking tools
  • Strong follow-through, consistently managing action items, closing loops, and pushing work forward
  • Clear, direct communicator who can interface confidently with both technical teams and marketing stakeholders
  • Able to operate independently in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment without waiting to be told what to do next
  • Familiarity with marketing technology or content/campaign operations is a plus

Schedule

This role follows a hybrid model, requiring in-office presence at least 2 days per week.

Pay

Annualized full-time salary ranges for this role:

  • Boston and Washington DC: $127,500 - $153,000
  • Chicago: $121,750 - $146,250

Additional compensation may include an annual discretionary performance bonus and other discretionary elements.

Benefits

  • 4.5% 401(k) company contribution, increasing after 3 years of service and 100% vested upon start date
  • Bain pays 100% of individual employee premiums for medical, dental, and vision programs
  • Generous paid time off, including parental leave, sick leave, and paid holidays
  • Paid Life and Long-Term Disability insurance
  • Annual fitness reimbursements
