Umbra is a performance marketing holding company that builds, scales, and operates a portfolio of consumer brands.
Why This Role Exists
We have 30+ open projects across every function and that number is growing.
What You'll Own
Project Execution & Tracking
- Lead multiple concurrent programs (bundles of related projects across functions), not just individual projects. Own the end-to-end outcome, not just the tracking.
- Track cross-functional deliverables and actions across different departments for projects.
- Run the weekly status reporting cycle for projects — collect updates from relevant teams, synthesize blockers and wins, and surface escalations to leadership.
Metrics and Risk Management
- Identify, build, and track project metrics and risk factors.
- Surface trade-offs and resourcing conflicts early; drive the conversations that resolve them.
Communication and Stakeholder Management
- Create project briefs, capture items, assign timelines, and ensure all are executed on and followed up so that leadership does not need to chase for updates.
- Track meeting decisions.
- Build and maintain relationships across stakeholders including the CEO, department leads, external vendors, and partners.
- Enforce our prioritization SLA framework, request templates, and handoff formats (already built but inconsistently adopted).
Delivery & Continuous Improvement
- Run retrospectives regularly: capture lessons learned, process failures, and wins.
- Feed insights back into how the next project is scoped and resourced.
