Program Director

At Red Antler, we build brands for startups that are changing how the world works. Our clients span a wide range of categories, representing some of the most exciting companies in the startup space and beyond. We are looking to add a Program Director to join our growing Client team.

Who you are:

You have an extensive technical project management background paired with a thoughtful leadership style. You’re experienced in managing complex digital projects, partnering with new business to scope and estimate in support of proposals, setting up and maintaining proper operational controls, and reporting procedures to deliver digital projects with success and operating efficiency. You’ll set an example for our entire PM team and can model a proactive and strategic relationship to technology for other team members to adopt.
Responsible for:
Leading the digital capabilities of our project management team, establishing processes and checkpoints around scoping, budgeting, and execution. You’ll also train the PM team on the digital project lifecycle, including strategies and behaviors of how to anticipate and troubleshoot roadblocks.
While the role requires a degree of multi-discipline collaboration, this role will work most closely with our digital design, engineering, and new business departments as well as partnering with any emerging capabilities.
Developing any custom and complex scopes of work and project plans for the New Business Team. These plans warrant and require a degree of collaboration and validation with department heads.
Driving operational efficiency across different types of clients, ranging from early-stage to more established businesses and corporate brands.
Ensure that operational reporting is accurate and timely to support decision-making on the leadership team.
Nuts and bolts:
You have 9-10 years of digital project management experience within a creative agency and have recently had departmental responsibilities.
You are experienced with e-commerce and CMS platforms and are excellent at being the translator between clients and technologists for technical requirements and challenges.
Empathy and collaboration are core to our work process and it is essential that you value building meaningful connections internally and with clients.
You are a team leader who feels deeply invested in the career development of your direct reports – equally comfortable with helping to level up skill sets as well as creating space for top performers to chart their own path.
You are seasoned at project planning and defining the scope of multidisciplinary projects (goals, deliverables, project plan, costing estimates, resource allocation)
What works here:

In a lot of ways, we embody the best things about a startup culture. We are self-starters who know how to create something from nothing. Someone who is both independent and values collaboration will be successful here.
