Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own and maintain the marketing team's Asana operating structure — projects, workflows, task hygiene, and templates — across all workstreams (brand, content, digital, events, institutional, practice marketing)
  • Build and maintain dashboards and status reports that give team leads and the CMO real-time visibility into project status, bottlenecks, and risk
  • Track team capacity and resourcing across concurrent projects; flag overallocation or timeline conflicts to the appropriate lead before they become escalations
  • Support the team's recurring meeting cadence and own regular project status check-ins — building agendas, capturing action items, and following up on open items for team meetings, project check-ins, and leadership updates
  • Prepare consolidated status materials for CMO 1:1s with senior stakeholders and leadership reporting
  • Extract and track action items from meeting notes and recordings into Asana, ensuring accountable owners and due dates are assigned
  • Maintain and continuously improve PMO documentation — intake workflows, SLA definitions, project templates, and standard operating procedures
  • Coordinate cross-functional dependencies between marketing workstreams and other internal teams (compliance, design, digital, content)
  • Build and maintain intake and request-volume reporting to identify recurring patterns and inform team process and staffing decisions
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for all inbound marketing requests submitted via the firm's marketing intake form

Requirements

  • 5-10 years of experience in marketing operations, PMO, marketing coordination, account services, project management, or client services
  • Demonstrated experience running a project management system (Asana, Monday.com, Workfront, or similar) for a team, including project/task structure, status tracking, and reporting — not just personal task use
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent requests or projects with accuracy and professionalism
  • Strong written communication skills — able to produce clear, professional stakeholder updates, policy-based responses, and status reporting for leadership audiences
  • Comfort working within defined processes and systems, balanced with the ability to build and improve operating rhythms and documentation from scratch
  • Sound judgment to apply scope and compliance policies accurately, including the confidence to professionally decline or redirect requests that fall outside defined parameters
  • Detail-oriented and organized, with experience tracking resourcing or capacity across a team
  • Strong command of Excel and PowerPoint
  • Ability to work collaboratively, resourcefully, and with a calm, solutions-oriented approach across both reactive and cadence-driven work
  • Degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field a plus

Preferred

  • Experience in financial services, professional services, or another regulated industry
  • Familiarity with marketing compliance considerations (e.g., SEC/FINRA advertising guidelines) or demonstrated ability to learn quickly
  • Experience with CRM or marketing platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, or similar)
  • Background in agency traffic coordination, shared services, internal creative operations, or a formal PMO function
  • Experience working in a matrixed organization with multiple internal stakeholder types and senior/executive stakeholders

  • 401(k) savings and investment plan options with 4% match
  • Flexible PTO policy
