This role will manage the deployment of key projects, including the data layer strategy, global end-to-end (E2E) tracking, server-side tracking, and data automation initiatives that support insights and attribution models.

Working closely with the Digital Analytics & Insights team and global stakeholders, the Project Manager will ensure these initiatives are delivered on time, within scope, and with measurable business impact.

This role is ideal for a project manager with experience in large-scale data, tracking, and analytics projects, particularly within digital marketing.

● Resource Management: Work with internal teams (Data Architect, Data Quality Engineer, Digital Analytics & Tracking Manager) and external partners to allocate resources effectively and manage project priorities to meet deadlines.

● Risk and Issue Management: Proactively identify and manage project risks and issues, developing mitigation strategies and ensuring stakeholders are informed of any changes that may impact timelines or project outcomes.

● Process and Workflow Optimisation: Drive process improvements in project management, establishing repeatable, scalable workflows for deploying data initiatives globally and ensuring efficient coordination across teams.

● Budget and Timeline Oversight: Manage project budgets and track expenses to ensure cost-effectiveness while maintaining high-quality project outcomes.
