Sr. Manager, Project Management

GMR Marketing is seeking a senior project management professional for its Enablement Office. The role leads end-to-end experiential and sports partnership programs, managing budgets, cross-functional delivery, live activations, and the development of project teams.

Responsibilities:

• You’ll take the lead on managing complex, multi-workstream programs from planning and estimating to scoping and execution—partnering closely with internal teams, clients, and external sports stakeholders (teams/leagues, venues, talent, and rights-holders). You’ll be responsible for keeping projects on track financially and operationally, ensuring clear communication, role alignment, and smart risk management along the way. You’ll help improve how we work by identifying process gaps, driving continuous improvement, and supporting best practices across teams—especially for time-sensitive, event-led delivery
• You can manage burn, forecast changes, and support invoice tracking and reconciliation across multiple partners
• You’ll oversee every aspect of projects from end-to-end planning, resourcing, and execution—ensuring everything stays on track and within budget. That includes building estimates and SOWs with input from subject matter experts, managing workflows and changes, and proactively addressing risks or roadblocks. For sports partnership work, this also includes managing rights delivery and activation requirements (assets, approvals, and partner obligations), coordinating with venues and event operations, and driving game-day/event readiness across creative, production, digital, PR, and brand teams. Your ability to think strategically while managing day-to-day details will help shape clear roadmaps and deliver successful outcomes
• You will lead the delivery of complex experiential programs from production planning through live activation, ensuring creative intent is translated into executable, well‑sequenced plans. This includes overseeing production timelines, run‑of‑show development, vendor and fabrication coordination, on‑site staffing, and activation readiness across creative, production, operations, and client teams. You bring a calm, solutions‑oriented leadership style to live environments—anticipating risks, making fast decisions in partnership with cross‑functional leads, and ensuring teams are supported to deliver high‑quality work on time, on budget, and to standard
• You’ll lead a team of project professionals, guiding their day-to-day work while supporting their long-term growth. As a manager and coach, you’ll help team members develop their skills, reach their goals, and stay aligned with GMR’s values. You’ll foster a culture of continuous learning, encourage fresh ideas, and ensure the team has the tools and support they need to succeed
