About The Role

Our Corporate Positioning and Insights practice seeks a talented, versatile Project Manager with 5-7 years of experience to join the team in our New York, Chicago or Washington, D.C. office. We're looking for a motivated, detail-oriented project manager who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution - someone who doesn't just manage projects but also helps shape them.

This role is ideal for someone who excels at translating complex requirements into clear plans, has sharp instincts for quality control and timelines, and can move seamlessly between client-facing strategy and hands-on execution across a mix of website projects, digital campaigns, and creative production. You'll work in close partnership with clients, internal teams, and creative strategists, serving as the driving force that keeps projects on track from kickoff to delivery.

It's an opportunity to grow within a collaborative team at the center of integrated digital and creative work for leading brands.

What You'll Do

- Oversee the end-to-end execution of multiple concurrent projects - spanning website builds, digital campaigns, and creative production - from initial briefing to final delivery

- Develop comprehensive project plans and timelines that align execution with client goals and business objectives, proactively identifying and resolving bottlenecks

- Serve as the primary point of contact and liaison between clients, internal teams, and stakeholders, translating strategic goals into clear, actionable plans and providing updates throughout the project lifecycle

- Manage project budgets and resources, and provide strategic input into the scoping, budgeting, and roll-out of client initiatives

- Maintain and evolve internal workflows and project management systems, and run analytics to monitor and report on project performance

- Contribute to new business pursuits, helping craft approaches, budgets, and scopes

- Mentor and guide junior team members, supporting their growth and development

- Maintain awareness of current industry trends, technical solutions, and best practices

How You'll Grow

We are committed to investing and supporting you in your professional development and we have developed a range of programs focused on fostering leadership, growth and development opportunities. We aim to promote continuous learning and individual skills development through on-the-job learning, self-guided professional development courses and certifications.

You'll be assigned a dedicated coach to mentor, guide and support you through regular coaching sessions and serve as an advocate for your professional growth.

As you progress through your career at FTI Consulting, we offer tailored programs for critical professional milestones to ensure you are prepared and empowered to take on your next role.

What You Will Need To Succeed
Basic Qualifications

- 5-7 years of project management, content production, technical strategy, and/or digital strategy experience, ideally with direct experience working with creative teams

- Proven track record managing multiple complex projects and teams simultaneously, including mentoring junior staff

- Knowledge of content management systems (Drupal, WordPress, etc.) and proficiency in Asana or similar project management software

- Strong aptitude for and working knowledge of digital tools, social platforms, and technologies

- Experience writing or reviewing technical and functional requirements, wireframes, and website designs

- Comfortable crafting and presenting project-related materials to clients, partners, and senior team members

- Highly developed interpersonal, analytical, and critical thinking skills, with the ability to balance big-picture strategy and attention to detail

- Strong, adaptable leadership with a positive, proactive attitude under deadline pressure

- 4-year college degree; travel required to clients and FTI office(s)

- Knowledge of Google Analytics and SEO a plus

- Experience managing other creative projects, such as branding or video production, a plus

- Experience developing information architecture deliverables a plus
