What you’ll do:  

 

At Digitas, we know that to produce great work, you need great talent – and that talent needs to be developed and nurtured. To this end, we developed the Associate Management Program, or “AMP”, which redefines the entry-level experience. In AMP, you will learn the

 

foundational skills necessary for a successful career delivering marketing programs and experiences. This program accelerates and expands your learning through curated training, mentorship, peer guidance and a meaningful connection to diverse project experience.

Whether your path leads you to becoming a Project Management Professional, a Marketing Maven or all-around Agency All-Star, AMP will provide you with a solid foundation for a career in digital marketing.

 

As part of the AMP Team, you will focus on five key areas of development as you learn the fundamentals of digital marketing:

 

·        Project Management: You will own key project management functions such as scheduling, scoping, resource management and risk mitigation

·        Marketing: You will be expected to understand your client’s business and the craft of marketing, while delivering effective campaigns that meet strategic objectives

·        Communication and Engagement: You will learn to use the right communication tools at the right time, understand how to communicate effectively and lean into your work with active participation in meetings and on your projects

·        Financial Operations: You will be expected to understand the basic fundamentals of business financials including forecasting, promoting great margins and managing Digitas operational processes

 

 

Day-to-day, your role includes:

·        Both supporting large initiatives and also leading smaller projects independently

·        Setting up projects for success (right team, properly planned, client alignment)

·        Keeping clients and internal teams moving in the same direction

·        Anticipating the needs of your projects, heading off potential pitfalls

·        Removing barriers to success for the team

·        Actively seeking and sharing knowledge with your project teams and within the Project Management capability

·        Experiencing something new every day

 

We’re looking for strong, impactful work experience, which typically includes:

·        2+ years of Project Management, Marketing or related experience

·        PMP and/or CSM Certification (or desire to get this)

·        Working knowledge of enterprise tools (JIRA, MS Project, Excel, PowerPoint, Slack, Trello)

 

You are the right person if you:

·        Demonstrate grit and extreme ownership

·        Exude positivity

·        Aren’t afraid to share your ideas

·        Meet problems head-on and view them as opportunities

·        Are self-reliant and motivated

Got what it takes? We’d love to hear from you.
