Overview

We are looking for a highly analytical PM Lead with a strong leadership vision to structure, guide, and empower our team of PMs. In this strategic role, you will not just oversee the delivery of advertising campaigns; you will act as the operational engine of the agency. You will be responsible for defining methodologies, managing team capacity, and ensuring all projects perfectly align with our business objectives.

If you have a proven track record of leading teams in marketing agencies, building PMO processes from the ground up, and acting as the strategic point of escalation for high-impact B2B clients, this is your chance to take our operations to the next level.

People & Capacity Management:

• Lead the PM team through regular 1:1 meetings to align on tasks, review project statuses, and unblock red flags.
• Strategically allocate projects among PMs based on their capacity, current workload, and seniority level.
• Monitor team bandwidth to prevent burnout and proactively plan for new hires or account reassignments.
• Actively support the resolution of internal team conflicts and critical project blockers.

Operational Strategy & Processes (PMO):

• Define, standardize, and continuously improve the project management methodologies (Agile, Traditional, or Hybrid) utilized across the agency.
• Create templates, workflows, and standard operating tools to guarantee consistency and top-tier quality in all deliverables.
• Conduct daily alignments with the Operations department regarding the pipeline, priorities, and complexity of incoming projects.

Strategic Escalation & Mentorship:

• Act as the primary point of escalation for the Account Director regarding critical risks, severe budget deviations, or timeline delays on key projects.
• Hold weekly meetings with Account Management leadership to report on the overall workflow, pipeline health, and potential bottlenecks.
• Mentor and train Junior and Semi-Senior PMs on industry best practices (scope alignment, stakeholder management, and risk mitigation).
• Promote the exchange of lessons learned across different projects and agency pods.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Leadership Experience: 4+ years of project management experience within Advertising / Marketing Agencies, with a proven track record of leading teams of PMs, handling capacity planning, and defining operational processes. (Note: This is strictly a Marketing/Advertising role; purely IT/Software PMs will not be considered).
• B2B Expertise: Verifiable experience overseeing marketing campaigns focused on the B2B sector.
• Languages: Native Spanish and Bilingual English. You must be completely comfortable leading escalation meetings and negotiating with international clients in both languages.
• Location: Based in Capital Federal or surrounding areas, with availability for our hybrid work model.
