The Digital Marketing Project Manager proactively identifies and mitigates risks, removes blockers, and ensures key partners remain informed and engaged. This strategic, execution-focused approach supports successful outcomes and positions the team for excellence in a competitive environment.

• Define and communicate project success metrics to support transparency, alignment, and stakeholder satisfaction.
• Establish and enforce “project hygiene” standards (status updates, task ownership, documentation, dependency tracking).
• Maintain accurate project data and reporting to provide a single source of truth for scope, schedule, resourcing, and overall project health.
• Support intake, prioritization, forecasting, and capacity planning in partnership with team leadership.
• Identify, lead, and implement process improvement initiatives (workflows, templates, governance) to increase throughput and predictability over time.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by ensuring the team has the resources, information, and procedures needed to operate effectively.
• Demonstrate a strong understanding of Cencora’s business operations; navigate cross-departmental initiatives effectively.
