Senior Pitch Project Manager (Remote)

About the role

This is an opportunity to join as a Pitch Project Manager, leading end‑to‑end pitch delivery across new business bids, RFPs, client‑facing campaign pitches, and cross‑market opportunities. Pitches are high‑stakes, fast‑moving, and rarely straightforward. You’ll bring structure, clarity, and coordination that turns ambitious briefs into compelling submissions, on time, every time.

Key responsibilities

• Run end‑to‑end project management of pitches from brief receipt through to final submission.
• Build and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, and resource schedules, ensuring all workstreams stay on track.
• Coordinate cross‑functional teams – creative, strategy, production, and senior leadership – facilitating clear communication and decision‑making.
• Identify risks, dependencies, and blockers early; escalate when needed and propose practical solutions.
• Manage pitch budgets at the project level, including cost estimation, purchase orders, invoicing, and reconciliation.
• Guide and support junior PMs or coordinators, sharing process knowledge and developing their skills.
• Maintain and continuously improve pitch management tools, templates, and workflows.
• Serve as the primary project‑management point of contact for senior internal stakeholders, providing regular status updates.
• Collaborate with teams across markets, navigating different time zones and deliverable requirements.
• Apply generative AI tools and agentic thinking to streamline pitch workflows and improve documentation.

Required profile

• Demonstrable project‑management experience in an agency, in‑house studio, or new‑business environment.
• Experience owning pitch processes end‑to‑end with a clear understanding of what drives pitch success.
• Proficiency with project‑management platforms such as Monday.com, Asana, or Smartsheet, and fluency in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
• Experience managing project‑level production budgets, including cost estimation and supplier negotiation.
• Strong communication and stakeholder‑management skills, able to engage senior leaders.
• Experience guiding or mentoring junior team members.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent pitches, shifting between big‑picture planning and detailed execution.
• Familiarity with creative and production workflows to anticipate team needs.
• Advanced use of generative AI tools to improve workflow efficiency and output quality.
• Agentic thinking and a rigorous approach to human oversight of AI‑generated content.
• Professional proficiency in English; additional African‑continent languages are a plus.
