Marketing AI Project Manager

Description

Project Manager III- Marketing Operations

(Onsite- Verizon)

What you’ll be doing…

You will serve as the dedicated Marketing Project Manager driving execution governance, process standardization, and technology integration across some of Verizon Business Marketing’s most strategic operational initiatives. A significant portion of your workload will be dedicated to project managing our AI search strategy tiger team and workstreams, alongside other critical marketing programs. Sitting directly between marketing strategy and delivery, you will coordinate cross-functional team members to deliver comprehensive strategy documents, operational guidelines, and actionable execution plans, while protecting project timelines, budget boundaries, and quality standards.

In this role, you will act as a transformational bridge between cross-functional marketing teams and external partners. You will leverage modern AI-assisted tools and marketing automation platforms to streamline workflows, reduce operational friction, and build dynamic feedback loops. Rather than managing people, your focus is project management: orchestrating processes, managing cross-functional dependencies, and embedding data governance across the full program life cycle.

You Will

Project manage the AI search strategy tiger team and other concurrent marketing workstreams, tracking all activities, recognizing necessary tasks, and ensuring cross-functional individuals own and complete their deliverables in a timely manner.

Engage and coordinate directly with external strategic consultancies and vendor partners, managing their project integrations, timelines, and deliverables to ensure alignment with internal milestones.

Clarify project scope, objectives, and key deliverables with strategic leads and cross-functional stakeholders to turn high-level initiatives into robust, trackable project plans.

Map and manage complex sequential dependencies such as technology integrations, data mapping, vendor milestones, and strategy document approvals to ensure seamless project execution.

Embed AI tools and automated workflows directly into standard operating procedures to accelerate operations, process iteration, and efficiency.

Establish and manage transparent review and approval workflows, coordinating data, technical, legal, and privacy reviews to safeguard enterprise standards and regulatory compliance.

Track program budget commitments, procurement processes, and vendor handoffs to ensure projects remain on schedule and within budget constraints.

Maintain single-source project dashboards and risk logs to provide real-time status updates and early risk visibility to cross-functional stakeholders.

Collaborate with analytics and measurement owners to ensure proper data governance, reporting dashboards, and performance metrics are built into the operational delivery models.

What We’re Looking For

You are an agile project manager who thrives on structure, clarity, and continuous improvement. You combine strong organizational and project governance fundamentals with a curiosity for modern marketing technology and AI transformation. You understand complex operational dependencies and excel at collaborating across multidisciplinary matrixed teams.
