Senior Project Manager, Agile Marketing

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Cookier 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.
• 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.
• Aid 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.
• 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.

Requirements

• 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.

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.
