Are you an experienced, affable and driven project manager with good attention to detail who enjoys a flexible, dynamic work environment? Ample is a boutique, digital consultancy that builds online applications and websites for some of the biggest brands in the Midwest. We’re looking for a full time digital project manager to complement our team.
This position is open to remote candidates. The team operates on East Coast hours. Salary will be commensurate with the candidate's experience. Must be eligible for work in the US.
Primary responsibilities of this role include
- Lead multidisciplinary teams through product delivery
- Scope and estimate new projects
- Create project schedules and manage project timelines
- Manage tasks for yourself and the team
- Articulate requirements to clients, developers and designers
- Interface with clients to gather information, assets, and deliver project updates
You need these skills (to pay the bills)
- This isn’t your first rodeo - You can handle sometimes complex projects with authority. An understanding of agile and/or waterfall project management methodologies will help you hit the ground running
- You live in the zone - Prioritization is huge. You’ll need the focus to manage your time and to-do list effectively. You have to be someone we can count on to deliver on time, every time
- Your t’s are always crossed - Obsessive attention to detail and over-the-top organization skills will help you to be successful in this role. We are not interested in double checking every line of every project schedule, or your emails for that matter
- Multi-tasking mastery - You have the ability to juggle multiple clients and projects with ease. You can wear multiple hats without much hand-holding
- The soft skills - Approachability and empathy are essential. You will be a point person for our team and need to be accessible and approachable
- You’re in the know- You’re comfortable in the digital space. We aren’t looking for a developer in this role, but you should have the technical aptitude to understand the products we build
- The zig and the zag - You’ll need the ability to adapt to changing demands in a fast-paced environment. We are a small agile team, and thus require someone who can roll with changes and hit the gas when it’s time to move
- You talk the talk - You have a fundamental belief that there’s no such thing as over communication. Communicate clearly, effectively and often.
One or more of these things would be exceptional
- Agency experience
- Scrum master experience
- Experience working with project management software such as Rally, Paymo, Jira, etc.
- Familiarity with Content Management Systems (CMS)
- Experience doing quality assurance (QA) testing
- Experience with Google Analytics
- Knowledge of SEO/SEM practices
- Experience with Git/Github
