Senior Technical Project Manager

We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Project Manager to drive delivery for Acxiom’s Measurement & Optimization offering: the connected capability that ties Real ID, clean room technology, and standardized pipelines to closed-loop, privacy-safe measurement (incrementality/lift, multi-touch attribution, marketing mix modeling, conversion APIs, and rules-based attribution) and in-flight optimization across programmatic, social, TV, retail media, and owned channels.

This role owns end-to-end planning and execution across the Measurement & Optimization POD, spanning Product Management, Data Engineering, Data Science, Identity, Clean Room, Privacy, and Client Services teams. You will turn the offering roadmap into an integrated delivery plan, manage dependencies, risks, budget, and partner commitments, and keep leadership informed on progress and value realization. Predictable, on-time delivery of repeatable, standardized products (rather than bespoke analytics engagements), adoption, and time-to-value are key success measures. A background in advertising measurement/analytics, data platforms, clean rooms, or identity programs is strongly preferred.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead end-to-end delivery of Measurement & Optimization initiatives from inception through launch, including standardized dashboards, measurement pipelines, clean room flows, and partner integrations
• Define the POD’s integrated roadmap and detailed delivery plan, including milestones, resource needs, dependencies, and release schedules, in partnership with the Senior Product Manager and engineering and data science leads
• Facilitate Agile ceremonies and delivery cadence (planning, backlog readiness, standups, retrospectives, release readiness) and keep the team unblocked
• Identify, track, and mitigate risks, issues, and cross-team dependencies; escalate and resolve items that threaten timelines or deliverables
• Coordinate across Product, Data Engineering, Data Science, Identity, Clean Room, Architecture, Security, Privacy/Legal/Compliance, Sales, and Client Services to ensure aligned priorities and smooth handoffs
• Coordinate delivery of partner and platform integrations with walled gardens, publishers, retail media networks, and cloud/data platform providers, tracking data-access readiness, cadence, and granularity commitments
• Ensure privacy-safe, consent-aware delivery by building Privacy, Legal, and Compliance review checkpoints (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA where applicable) into delivery plans
• Manage program budgets, forecasts, and resource planning, and track cloud consumption and platform costs against approved financial targets
• Provide leadership and delivery-level oversight of vendors, system integrators, and consulting partners (US and offshore), monitoring contract deliverables, scope, and performance
• Provide clear status reporting, governance, and executive updates on progress, risks, and decisions needed
• Track and report value realization for the offering, including adoption, time-to-value, delivery predictability, and operational efficiency, to business sponsors and leadership
• Support launch readiness and transition to ongoing operations by coordinating enablement, training, communications, and support handoffs with Sales, Marketing, Client Strategy, and Operations
• Drive continuous improvement of delivery processes, templates, and playbooks based on retrospectives, client feedback, and operational learnings
