Position Title & Overview

The Project Manager will play a key role in successfully executing large projects, optimizing processes, and ensuring clear documentation and communication for interdepartmental Revenue, Product and Engineering work. Reporting to the Manager of Project Management, this role will sit at the cross section of multiple departments: Revenue’s Ad Tech team, Product, and Mediavine’s Legal and Data teams. Partnering closely with these teams, they will own the coordination of interdepartmental projects to ensure clear communication and implementation. The Project Manager is expected to know what’s happening, when, and by whom — and is responsible for communicating each to appropriate stakeholders.
