About the role
Critical Mass is hiring for an accomplished Senior Project Manager to lead high-impact digital campaigns in a fast-paced agency environment. As the primary Project Manager on a major account, you will drive strategy, own end-to-end delivery, and make immediate impact without a support net. This is an ideal role for a strategic thinker who thrives under pressure, leads independently, and is energized by managing complex projects.
You Will
- Lead campaign initiatives independently managing execution and planning
- Manage end-to-end project delivery including scope, schedule, budget, resource allocation, reporting, and change management for fast-paced digital campaigns
- Drive strategic conversations with discipline leads (creative, design, marketing science, engineering) to set approach, develop roadmaps, and align on objectives and strategies
- Operate in a dynamic, multitasking environment requiring agility to move fast, adapt quickly, and maintain focus on driving goals even under high-pressure situations
- Develop and communicate project roadmaps and timelines while managing stakeholder expectations around scope, schedule, deliverables, and business outcomes
- Own financial stewardship including budget management, revenue forecasting, and resource optimization to maximize campaign ROI
- Organize and structure complex activities with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring seamless coordination across multiple workstreams and stakeholders
You Have
- 4-6 years of agency and campaign management experience demonstrating proven capability to drive work forward independently, with preference for established Senior PM track record or strong multi-hat experience
- Mastery of core Project Management fundamentals including schedule development, scope management, financial management, resource planning, and change management
- Advanced proficiency with productivity and collaboration tools such as MS Office, Smartsheet, Keynote, Outlook, Jira, and Confluence
- Demonstrated experience managing client conversations around scope, schedule, budget, and strategic roadmaps; ability to build and maintain strong stakeholder relationships
- Strategic mindset as an approach setter, capable of establishing processes, methodologies, and frameworks rather than solely executing within existing structures
- Strong leadership and decision-making skills with excellent communication, facilitation, negotiation, and presentation abilities; demonstrated responsiveness to feedback
- Solutions-oriented leadership with the ability to lead by example, solve complex problems, and empower discipline leads to execute effectively
- Experience managing dynamic, fast-paced campaign environments with ability to multitask, prioritize effectively, and deliver quality results under pressure
What We Offer
- Global maternity and parental leave
- Competitive benefits packages
- Vacation, compassionate leave, sick days, and flex days
- Access to online services for families and new parents
- Diversity and Inclusion Board with 12 affinity groups
- Internal learning and development programs
- Enterprise-wide employee discounts
Our new hires & employees are the future of our organization, and we want to set you up for long-term success. In an effort to do so, we expect our team to work in office a minimum of 3 days a week.

About Critical Mass
Critical Mass is a team of 1,800 inspired folks based in 12 offices around the world, providing full-service digital capabilities for the greatest brands on Earth. Our secret sauce is our uncompromising design standards, our relentless focus on customers, and an ability to put powerful new technologies to work for our clients.
We work with the best—Apple, Nike, Mars Wrigley, Nissan, Diageo, Airbnb, BMW, BNY Mellon, Johnson & Johnson, and many more—brands who strive for connected digital ecosystems and unparalleled experiences. We help them get there by gaining deep insight into their consumers and orchestrating data, AI, design, media, and tech stacks around human stories.
We’re a global agency founded in Canada, but digital is our home. If you know us, then you know we’re a special, quirky place that attracts big talent and tiny egos. (We actually give out a “so f-n nice” award—lots of them). But just because we’re friendly doesn’t mean we’re not a force to be reckoned with. We’re driven. Relentless. And we live our values. We’re Critical Mass, but our friends call us CM. Please call us CM!
