We manage projects for clients across the globe, and you'll be working on a team that values high-quality execution.

Position
As the Digital Project Manager, you are responsible for the successful delivery of a project to a satisfied client.

To the client, you represent your team's capabilities and needs.

You are responsible for project resourcing (who is working on what, and for how long), project strategy, and project budget.

This includes:

conducting stakeholder interviews and developing user stories and requirements, helping define project roles and responsibilities; keeping projects on time and on budget; communicating with clients and internal team members; using (and helping improve) the systems and software we use for project management; reporting on project statuses; resource allocation and distribution, and more.

Your role is absolutely integral to the success of the company and our projects.

You'll work within a set team of strategists, designers and developers, so you get to know and understand your teammates and clients as you complete projects together over time.
