Sr Marketing Project Manager

The Twist Marketing team is expanding its project management footprint, and is searching for a Marketing Project Manager to join the team.  This is a dynamic role that is focused on managing the marketing asset lifecycle, across a wide variety of asset types, project types, and delivery methods.  The core focus of this role is managing existing processes, but as the Marketing Project Manager comes up to speed at Twist, an expanding focus of the role will be to diagnose/troubleshoot existing processes, and create new/improved processes.

This role will work closely with Twist’s Marketing Program Managers, who are subject matter experts for a given marketing vertical, and who own the generation and approval of marketing content.  Marketing Project Managers, conversely, own the marketing asset process, and are experts in timelines, action items, managing small cross-functional teams, and coordinating complex processes with multiple stakeholders.  This role will report to the Director of Marketing Ops.

Responsibilities

• Be an expert on the marketing process and act as a guide to all stakeholders
• Get to know the team from top to bottom, and know who to go to for a particular step or question
• For assigned projects, manage the marketing-related timelines, action items, deliverables, and subteam composition
• Track marketing projects across the marketing organization, and support the prioritization process for these projects (i.e. provide data and inputs to decision-makers)

Qualification

• Bachelor’s or higher degree
• Biotech industry (or similar: pharma, diagnostics, lab instrumentation, etc) experience required
• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) to all levels (peers, ICs, senior management)
• Combination of Project/Program management experience and Marketing experience required
• Technical background, to aid in understanding the products and marketing materials being developed (Twist’s products are typically quite technical)
• Experience with stage-gate product development/NPI processes, working as a member of large cross-functional core teams
