About the Team:
At Quizlet, Product Operations helps teams operate with greater clarity, efficiency, and alignment. Today, the Product Operations team supports both our users and cross-functional partners by enabling teams to build more effectively, with the right information and increased transparency. Through our embedded model, our core functions include supporting ongoing program management, building pathways for user insights, and developing scalable processes and project management practices that help teams meet their goals.
This role will join the Product Operations team with a dedicated focus on enabling Marketing to achieve its ambitious goals while ensuring strong cross-functional connections, operational clarity, and the use of scalable, repeatable systems that empower the team to deliver exceptional work.
About the Role:
We’re looking for a Marketing Project Manager to bring structure, clarity and operational excellence to how Quizlet’s Marketing organization plans and executes work. As the first project manager for this department, this role is for someone who thrives in ambiguity, a systems thinker, and a hands-on project manager who can create order in fast-paced environments.
You’ll manage high-impact marketing projects in partnership with Brand, Product Marketing, and Growth teams while building scalable processes that improve visibility, alignment, and delivery within marketing and partner departments. This is an opportunity to shape how our Marketing team operates by designing the workflows, tools, and rhythms that help us move from reactive execution to proactive impact.
We are looking for someone who is an exceptional operator with deep project management experience who can design systems, structure workflows, and drive execution across a complex, fast-moving Marketing organization.
We’re happy to share that this is an onsite position in our San Francisco office. To help foster team collaboration, we require that employees be in the office a minimum of three days per week: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday and as needed by your manager or the company. We believe that this working environment facilitates increased work efficiency, team partnership, and supports growth as an employee and organization.
In this role, you will:
- Lead end-to-end management for high-priority marketing initiatives — ensuring work is scoped, planned, and delivered on time
- Develop, manage and track project timelines, milestones, and interdependencies across internal marketing teams and cross- functional partners (agencies, legal, product, engineering)
- Identify and mitigate risks, removing blockers to keep projects moving forward.
- Partner with leads to translate marketing goals into actionable project plans that align with business priorities
- Design and implement repeatable workflows, templates, and frameworks that bring structure to marketing work
- Create centralized systems to track progress, manage requests, and report on work
- Establish operating cadences that improve cross-functional visibility and accountability
- Build out reporting structures to communicate status, risks, and outcomes to Marketing leadership
- Act as a connector between Product, Engineering and Marketing teams, ensuring clear expectations, timelines, and deliverables
- Drive alignment around marketing dependencies: launch calendars, campaign priorities, risks and shared resourcing needs
- Champion continuous improvement, bringing best practices from operations, production, and project management disciplines into the marketing org
What you bring to the table:
- 8+ years of experience in program or project management, ideally with experience in marketing and cross-functional organizations
- Deep experience building and managing operational systems and tools to improve how work gets done
- Proven success leading large, cross-functional projects end-to-end
- Comfort navigating ambiguity - able to quickly bring structure and define next steps where there are none
- Strong communication and influence skills - can align multiple teams around shared priorities
- A systems thinker’s mindset: you look for patterns, design frameworks, and simplify complexity
Bonus points if you have:
- Proven ability to coach teams on project management best practices and build PM maturity across functions
- Exposure to creative production, lifecycle, or GTM planning processes — enough to understand how creative work moves through a pipeline
- Experience working in a high-growth or scaling company, where priorities shift quickly and processes are evolving
