IT Program/Portfolio Manager
TEKsystems
Description
The role is for a Program Manager to support digital and e-commerce initiatives at our client. The primary focus is to help our client leverage customer data to drive personalized marketing and offers, provide customized marketing campaigns, and target offers (such as projects similar to their Uber Eats delivery integration). The other goal is to enable the marketing team to execute their strategic objectives more effectively. The project is in the digital e-commerce area. Although digital eCommerce is not new, the brand is currently lagging behind its industry peers in this space. This role is critical in helping accelerate their digital maturity and close that gap.
Success in this role will be measured by the achievement of business case objectives and the satisfaction of the marketing leadership team. The Project Manager will work closely with senior stakeholders, including the VP of Marketing, VP of IT, and the lead developer, ensuring alignment and smooth execution across teams.
An ideal candidate will bring experience in Portfolio Management, though this is not a strict requirement. The hiring manager is open to mentoring the right candidate in this area if they demonstrate strong foundational program management skills and a willingness to learn.
