In this role, you will be the operational leader responsible for the execution of BPI’s largest and most complex client engagements – driving effective, modern and strategic public affairs and corporate reputation marketing campaigns.

Focused on our Fortune 100 client portfolio, you will ensure the seamless delivery of multi-million dollar national and international campaigns, with a focus on large-scale creative and media delivery. You will manage the entire operational lifecycle of projects, serving as a senior client-facing voice that ensures efficiency, financial discipline, and a large volume of on-time, high-quality deliverables both internally and externally. You will also coordinate closely with internal creative and media teams.

  • Salary range : $110,000 - $165,000

  • Tracking Timelines and Deliverables : Rigorously manage and enforce project timelines, milestones, and deliverables across all client-facing and internal production teams. Proactively and diplomatically communicate to client contacts when deadlines are missed and / or timelines impacted.
  • Staff Bandwidth and Hours : Oversee and track dedicated staff hours and bandwidth across multiple project teams to ensure efficient resource allocation and proactively flag capacity constraints to senior account leadership.
  • 3. Client and Senior Project Leadership

  • Foster strong client-side relationships and serve as the senior, client-facing program operations lead across a portfolio of complex, large-scale campaigns for Fortune 100 clients.
  • Act as a senior point of escalation, proactively identifying risks and leading discussions with clients and internal leadership to keep all projects on track.
  • Ensure a high degree of standardization and operational excellence across all deliverables to maintain BPI's reputation for quality.
  • Work collaboratively with cross-team members to ensure all timelines, quality expectations, and operational controls for client deliverables are met.
