Full job description
Overview
Gallagher Global Brokerage (GGB-Americas Division) is looking for an experienced Digital Operations Project Manager who will provide operational, project and delivery support for Microsoft 365 (M365) digital initiatives, with a primary focus on SharePoint Online consulting with the business to determine requirements for site creation, ongoing maintenance, and light governance coordination.
This role is ideal for a communications or marketing professional who can translate stakeholder needs into clear requirements, guide teams toward standard templates/solutions, and manage work across a matrixed organization and offshore delivery partners to reduce backlog and improve the quality and consistency of SharePoint as a platform.
How you'll make an impact
- Intake & requirements gathering: Partner with internal stakeholders to understand the purpose, audience, and content needs for SharePoint sites/pages; facilitate intake meetings and document requirements, scope, and success criteria.
- Template-driven guidance: Recommend standard templates, information architecture, and preset solutions based on need and complexity; help stakeholders right-size requests and set clear expectations.
- Matrixed delivery coordination: Track tasks and dependencies across a cross-functional team (content owners, reviewers, approvers, IT/platform partners, and offshore resources) to support page builds and maintenance work.
- Offshore work management: Create clear work requests/user stories, confirm acceptance criteria, and coordinate with offshore resources to ensure site updates and change requests are completed accurately and on schedule.
- Status communications: Provide regular progress updates to stakeholders (timelines, risks, blockers, next steps) and facilitate timely decisions/approvals to keep work moving.
- Content operations: Support uploading, organizing, and maintaining documents, graphics, and videos in well-structured SharePoint libraries, applying naming conventions and metadata where applicable.
- Permissions & access coordination: Help manage permission requests and access changes in alignment with organizational policies; coordinate with appropriate owners/administrators for approvals and execution.
- Quality assurance: Review draft SharePoint pages for accuracy, completeness, formatting consistency, and broken links (as applicable) prior to publishing; ensure content meets basic communication standards.
- Digital asset production support: Coordinate creation of supporting digital products (e.g., graphics, short videos, job aids) with offshore resources and internal partners as needed.
- Ticketing & backlog reporting: Track and report on ticket completion, cycle times, and backlog reduction; maintain dashboards/spreadsheets and drive follow-ups to closure.
- Continuous improvement: Apply systems thinking to connect SharePoint work with broader channel strategy (e.g., email, live meetings, intranet/news) and identify opportunities to streamline processes and improve user experience.
About You
Required:
- University Degree and minimum 7 years of prior relevant experience, or equivalent.
Preferred:
- Experience in project management specific to change management, strategic initiatives, and communications; marketing, digital content operations, project coordination, or a similar role managing work across multiple stakeholders.
- Working knowledge of SharePoint Online concepts (sites, pages, libraries, navigation, permissions) sufficient to manage and review others’ work; deep technical development experience is not required.
- Demonstrated ability to run requirements-gathering conversations, document scope, and translate needs into clear tasks and acceptance criteria.
- Strong project/task management skills with comfort tracking progress across a matrixed team and driving follow-ups to completion.
- Experience coordinating with offshore/remote resources and navigating time zone differences.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to provide clear, concise status updates and stakeholder-facing guidance.
- High attention to detail for reviewing content accuracy and formatting prior to publishing.
- Comfort working in a ticketing/work management environment (e.g., Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, Jira, Planner) and producing basic reporting on progress and backlog.
- Ability to manage multiple requests simultaneously, prioritize effectively, and escalate risks/issues appropriately.
- Hands-on experience publishing or maintaining SharePoint Online pages and libraries (including use of web parts and basic page layout best practices)
- Familiarity with information architecture, content governance, and change/request intake processes for digital platforms
- Experience coordinating digital asset creation (graphics/video) and applying brand or communication standards.
- Understanding of Microsoft 365 ecosystem (Teams, OneDrive, Outlook) and how channels work together for internal communications.
- Basic knowledge of accessibility and usability best practices for digital content.
Key Competencies
- Stakeholder management: builds trust, sets expectations, and communicates tradeoffs clearly.
- Structured execution: plans, tracks, and drives work to closure with minimal oversight.
- Systems thinking: considers upstream/downstream impacts across digital channels and processes.
- Process orientation: standardizes intake, documentation, and governance practices where helpful.
