Full-Time Project Manager
Job Description
We’re looking for a problem-solving Project Manager to join our thriving US team.
Who are we?
We’re The Writer. We work with companies all over the world to get their words working harder.
In a nutshell, we do five big things: tone of voice, writing, training, content and naming.
What’s on offer?
$60,000 – $65,000 salary
Full-time, permanent position
Lots of opportunities for progression
The chance to work with huge brands – think Collins Aerospace, EA, or Hogan Lovells
Remote working, or if you’re in the New York City area, we have team members there who get together at a workspace every few weeks.
Life assurance from day one, and medical, dental & vision (costs fully covered by The Writer) – after 60 days
Who are we looking for?
We’re a fast-paced agency with new projects and clients rushing in and out, who inevitably change everything at the last minute. So, we’re looking for someone with 2+ years of project management experience (ideally in an agency but it’s not vital) to come in and knock our clients’ socks off with their adaptability and efficiency. And bonus points if you have an interest in language, too.
Here’s what that looks like:
You’re left and right-brained. You can find your way around both a data-laden excel doc and a wordy creative brief. You’re able to create and follow a plan of action and see it through because you can switch between these two worlds. Both a lefty and righty, you’re ready to pick up the numbers and the pen.
You’re a thinker and a doer. You’re at your best when you’re helping the team and clients find solutions to problems. But you’re more than a doer, you’re also a critical thinker. From creating a Zoom meeting, sorting files for the creative team, or decoding an opaque client email –you’re game for any task. But because you know each step, small or big, leads to success for the project and the team, you think and then do.
You know people. You know what gets the teams fired up, and what can also make the client tick. And you know just the right way to keep people to pace while having them enjoy the process at the same time. You’re brilliant at writing and people like picking up the phone to speak to you or look forward to an email to you. And whether it’s the CMO or your co-worker, you can communicate with just about anyone.
You’re curious. People say you ask good questions. And you spend just as much time listening for the answer. You do your homework; anticipate next steps, and you understand the challenges your clients and co-workers are facing. You can read the room and spot when someone has a question before they ask.
What will you be doing?
You’ll:
- work with our scheduler, internal creative team, and freelancers to resource projects
- schedule meetings and balance calendars
- manage your projects from start to finish, writing scopes of work, creating timelines, and working with our scheduler to make these happen on time
- keep track of financials by keeping on top of budgets, gross margins, and invoices
- be a supportive and proactive member of the team
- be tech-savvy and work across our project management and conference software, troubleshooting with tech support to smooth out any kinks that come up for the team
- help us be known for our quality of service and top-notch creative work, by helping the team provide great customer service.
