Dylan Ward

Senior Project Manager

Edelman DxI

New York, NY

• Captured requirements, estimated fees, and wrote SOWs for creative, media, and measurement services valued up to $2.2M.
• Found senior-labor utilization running 10–15% over target through actual-versus-expected hour analysis in Edelman’s reporting platform and Tableau. My staffing recommendations returned it to target, and margin grew 10% year over year.

Scrum Master (Consultant)

Anheuser-Busch

New York, NY

• Led the Scrum transition for the Beyond Beer division, consolidating twelve brand teams into one operating unit. The data-gathering-to-insight pipeline fell from about three days to under 24 hours.
• Trained six teams across the country on agile methodology.

Senior Project Manager

Jump450 Media

New York, NY

• Co-founded the agency’s project management office.
• Built a Slack-integrated approval pipeline (Zapier, Airtable) between Wegmans and Jump450. Asset time-to-market fell from 2–3 weeks to 3–4 days.
• Rebuilt campaign reporting in Tableau. Biweekly reports became screenshots instead of hand-gathered decks, saving each team member 4–6 hours a week.

Intake Specialist (systems work)

PRC Baker Places

San Francisco, CA

• Replaced a fax-based referral process across four houses, partner jails, and SF DPH with a digital workflow. Placements got 25–50% faster; average bed utilization rose from 62% to over 78%.
• Built the program’s utilization reporting, read by agency leadership and SF DPH.

Project Lead & Digital Archivist

CRFW Archive

• Inventoried and secured a 48,538-file digital estate for an artist’s family, with fixity checks on every on-disk file.
