Project Manager

We are growing and changing quickly, so above all we seek a team player who is flexible, organized, and eager to proactively seek out ways to support the team so that we can do more work, better.

In addition, we expect you will be characterized by many of the below qualities. Exceptions may be made for excellent applicants who do not meet these criteria:

You have a bachelor's degree (or higher) and 2 to 5 years experience in project management or operational support.

You are skilled at planning and managing projects, including identifying and focusing on the most decision-relevant aspects of a project and communicating effectively with teammates. You are known for proactively moving work forward – anticipating what’s needed, raising risks early, and creating momentum for the team.

You enjoy creating order out of disorder, especially when there are many overlapping pieces and stakeholders.

You are obsessed with details and love checking things off of your list, and you’re energized rather than overwhelmed by knowing there will always be more to tackle.
