About this role
At MissionOne Media's Kansas City office, you'd be the operational backbone of a media agency, orchestrating multiple concurrent projects across different brands while keeping internal teams and external clients aligned. The role demands someone who can juggle complex schedules with numerous dependencies, manage resource allocation in real time, and translate project health into clear communication for stakeholders at all levels. You'd own the full project lifecycle—from scope definition and budget responsibility through delivery and success measurement—while also championing process improvements across the organization.
This position requires at least five years of project management experience, ideally with media industry background, plus a bachelor's degree. You need strong facilitation skills to lead status meetings, build quick rapport with diverse personalities, and maintain the kind of professional presence that inspires confidence in both creative teams and clients. The role values people who combine analytical rigor with genuine service orientation—someone who can tell stories with data and genuinely enable others' work rather than just manage timelines.
If you thrive in fast-paced environments where you're solving problems across multiple fronts simultaneously, and you're energized by helping talented people do their best work within clear processes and boundaries, this could be a strong fit. Project management certifications like PMP or ScrumMaster are a plus, and cross-media experience would strengthen your candidacy.
