LaSalle Network has partnered with a performance marketing agency currently undergoing a high-visibility digital transformation. We are seeking a Program Operations Manager to serve as the “operational heartbeat” of a major website modernization and migration initiative.
In this role, you will go beyond simple scheduling; you will own the program’s governance, manage complex RAID logs, and ensure cross-functional alignment between Marketing, Tech, and external Implementation Partners. We are looking for a disciplined, proactive leader who can translate project complexity into actionable executive insights.
Key Responsibilities
-
Program Operations & Cadence: Manage the recurring program rhythm, including governance forums and readiness checkpoints. You will own agendas, action items, and the integrated program calendar to drive accountability across all workstreams.
-
RAID & Dependency Tracking: Maintain the “source of truth” for risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies. You will identify blockers early, route them to owners, and package context for leadership decision-making.
-
Migration Readiness: Track status across pilot and migration waves. You will maintain migration readiness trackers and support the Program Lead in preparing for critical “Go/No-Go” milestones.
-
Cross-Functional Coordination: Act as the bridge between Marketing, Analytics, SEO, Creative, and Business Technology. You will ensure clear handoffs and manage sequencing impacts between internal teams and vendors.
-
Vendor & Partner Alignment: Coordinate sprint-level touchpoints with external Implementation Partners, ensuring their deliverables align with the broader program roadmap.
-
Reporting & Documentation: Synthesize complex data into weekly executive-ready status summaries, ensuring consistent formatting and clear communication of next steps.
Required Qualifications
-
Experience: 3-5+ years of project management or PMO experience, specifically supporting large-scale, cross-functional initiatives in matrixed environments.
-
Technical PM Skills: Mastery of RAID tracking, dependency mapping, and multi-stakeholder coordination.
-
Communication: Exceptional facilitation skills and the ability to write concise, structured, and action-oriented executive updates.
-
Proactive Mindset: A proven ability to drive closure on delivery-critical items without needing formal authority over stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
-
Experience supporting enterprise website modernization, DXP/CMS transformations, or MarTech initiatives.
-
Familiarity with phased rollouts, launch readiness, or multi-wave migration programs.
-
Comfort operating alongside Agile teams and understanding sprint/release planning.
-
PMP, Agile, or Scrum certifications are highly valued.
Tools & Collaboration
-
PM Tools: Proficiency in Jira, Asana, Monday.com, or Smartsheet.
-
Collaboration: Expertise in Confluence, SharePoint, and Google Workspace.
-
Reporting: Experience with Power BI, Looker, or similar data visualization dashboards.
- This is a contract-to-permanent opportunity, the contract stage will be a W2 contract role
- On the contract portion the role pays up to $50.00/hr, conversion salary range between $90k-$110k.
- Location: Chicago, must be able to go onsite 1 day/week
