Project Manager – Billboard Digital

Billboard is looking for an ace Project Manager to work with its digital properties, including Billboard.com, Billboard.biz, Billboard Pro, mobile applications, games, and the Billboard Chart API. This person should be comfortable collaborating with sales, marketing, and product stakeholders,  as well as development teams.

This person should have a good grasp of marketing and UX, in order to effectively manage the balance between a) technical expedience; b) user experience; and c) marketer satisfaction on any particular product. The work will range from putting sponsor logos on the sites to solving meaty technical problems.

Clear and proactive communication skills are a necessity – we do not need someone who is conditioned to offer only the positive spin on things. If you are looking to just update Gantt charts all day, this job is also not for you. But if you want to take a hands-on, leadership role at a legendary music brand in a high-energy environment, this job could be for you.

Responsibilities include:

• Day-to-day project management;
• Translating requirements into specifications;
• Translating specifications into actionable development tasks;
• Estimating projects and features;

• Managing existing development processes (e.g. the generation of the weekly Billboard charts);
• Working with ad sales and marketing on sponsorships and sales requests;
• Working with editorial on feature requests and bugs;
• Working with product development on new features and requirements;
• Working with the tech team on all of the above, as well as maintenance and improvements.

• Full understanding of the PMBOK;
• Strong understanding of digital product development and UX;
• Strong understanding of technology architecture(s);

• Prior experience at a media or entertainment company, or a digital agency;
• Bachelor’s Degree a necessity; Master’s is desirable.
