The Hired Guns are seeking a Digital Project Manager who is as committed to good work as to good deeds to join this award-winning Bay-Area branding identity firm. They’re looking for a big-picture thinker—someone who does more than just keep projects on track and hand-hold clients through the process. You’ll be tasked with ensuring that SEO is on point, bringing in new technology as needed, and helping clients ranging from beloved niche brands to local soup kitchens realize their vision. This opportunity starts out contract, full-time hours, with a shot at a full-time staff role if you crush it (which you will!)
Pay range: $40 to $50 per hour
- Join a team committed to making the world a better—and more beautiful—place. You’ll be treated like a human being here, not just as a cog in a machine.
- You’ll have a chance to work on interesting projects with fascinating people, both client-side and in-house.
- Innovation is valued, and straying from “your lane” is not only acceptable, it’s encouraged!
The Nitty Gritty
The backstory on the company and why they need to hire you!
This woman-owned business has been building beautiful brands since the 1990s, and now they’re looking for a detail-oriented, tech-savvy Digital Project Manager to shepherd projects including website design and development, content strategy (with a focus on SEO/SEM), printed matter, collateral, and even events. You’ll collaborate on tech solutions, interface with clients across a spectrum of arts and culture institutions, leading nonprofits, and beloved niche brands, while leading a fantastically talented design team to success.
Why You?
How you’ll know if you’re a fit…
You appreciate good design, but you’re not a designer yourself: rather, you come from the other side of the brain, and can complement the design side with your strong digital acumen. You know what your team needs before they do—and you make things happen. You’re tuned in to all the prominent website and e-commerce platforms, know what to deploy when, and know how to evangelize your ideas to the stakeholders up and down the org chart. You’ve worked in an agency setting with a wide range of brands and are adept at managing multiple projects simultaneously. Obviously, you are so detail-oriented that it can drive others a little crazy, but in the end, they don’t mind because everything you touch turns to gold. You’re a taskmaster who sticks to deadlines, but you’ve also got a heart of gold and are on a mission to make the world a kinder place.
The Inside Skinny
Why you should quit your job right now and join this team!
You aren’t going to be given an employee number and a time sheet in this job. Here, you’ll be treated like a valued member of a tight-knit, extremely talented and productive team. Not like a family, because they can be dysfunctional (or am I projecting?). No, these folks are humane, brilliant, and show up for work every day with a passion to deliver rewarding (and beautiful) results.
