Anticipate risks and performance headwinds; implement corrective actions to keep initiatives on track.
Deliver concise, data-backed reporting and recommendations to leadership, highlighting category health, key trends, and growth levers.
Requirements

2+ years of experience in project or program management with proven ownership of revenue-driving initiatives.
Demonstrated expertise in digital marketing, preferably lead generation.
Data analysis skills: ability to export, review, and interpret data, as well as drive conclusions and next steps based on what the data indicates.
Ability to effectively guide a collaborative and productive work environment.
Proven track record of working autonomously and resourcefully to deliver results in fast-paced, evolving environments.
Excellent organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
Proficient in reporting tools, such as Tableau or Power BI, and Excel (pivot tables and VLOOKUP’s), and workflow such as Jira and Confluence.
The expected salary range for this position is $60,000 USD to $75,000 USD annually. This salary range is an estimate, and the actual salary may vary based on the Company’s compensation practices. The salary may be adjusted based on applicant's geographic location. The position is also eligible to receive performance bonus or commission and equity in the form of restricted stock units. This position is eligible to participate in the Company’s standard employee benefits programs, which currently include health care benefits; (2) retirement benefits; (3) the amount of paid days off (paid sick leave, parental leave, paid time off, or vacation benefits); (4) any other tax-reportable benefits.
