We’re looking for a highly organized, detail-obsessed Project Manager to support the adidas Brand Specialist Program, helping bring national strategy to life through field execution, retail activations, training initiatives, and community experiences across the country.

This role is built for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves solving problems before they happen, and can keep multiple moving pieces aligned without losing sight of the bigger picture.

• Manage project logistics from kickoff through wrap-up, ensuring deadlines, deliverables, staffing needs, approvals, and communication remain aligned.
• Maintain and communicate clear project timelines, ownership, and next steps across internal teams and external partners.
• Build and manage multi-million dollar project budgets, reconciling expenses for client presentation, process invoices, and support accurate month-end financial reporting.
• Help identify operational efficiencies and scalable processes that improve program execution and team effectiveness.
• Coordinate with production partners to ensure deliverables, timelines, and contractual obligations are fulfilled.
• Maintain inventory levels at our 3rd party storage facility, arrange delivery of materials in market, manage in-market storage facilities and warehouse receiving compliance  
• Support field teams and cross-functional stakeholders with problem solving, resource coordination, and executional troubleshooting.
• Maintain a strong understanding of adidas brand priorities, campaign objectives, and program goals to ensure all work aligns with brand standards and expectations.
• Balance multiple concurrent projects while maintaining a high level of organization, communication, and attention to detail.
• Contribute to a collaborative, solutions-oriented team culture that supports both creative excellence and operational rigor.
•  

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED:

• 4+ years of experience in project management, account operations, production, experiential marketing, or agency environments.
• Natural systems thinker who brings structure to ambiguity without killing momentum.
• Confident communicator who can partner with senior leaders and challenge assumptions when needed.
• Calm under pressure, decisive in gray areas, and allergic to unnecessary chaos.
• Comfortable stepping into active projects to unblock teams and drive delivery.
• Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to proactively identify and solve problems.
• Experience building and managing multi-million dollar budgets, timelines, and operational workflows.
