Project Manager

Project Managers guide a project from inception to launch, ensuring that projects are delivered on-time and on budget according to the defined scope, timeline and cost parameters. You’ll be involved in navigating new technology, prestigious clients, brilliant designers and developers, and producing beautifully polished end results. You’ll be able to bring your process best-practices to our team as well as learn from our style. At the end of the day, you’ll help Stimulant consistently turn dreams and fictions into elegant realities, and your input and oversight will help shape it all.

This role is the right fit for you if your attention to detail is unmatched, you can easily transform a dynamic brainstorm into an itemized list, and you get energized checking items off a list. You’ll be involved in every step of the project, from estimates and schedule creation to weekly management of clients and your team, all the way through to project launch. We’re looking for someone who can speak fluently with developers and designers, who can comprehend interaction design wireframes, and doesn’t shy away from technical conversations. You will be expected to manage multiple projects simultaneously. If the energy and excitement of a small company doing cutting-edge and never-before-seen work excites you, you’ve found the right home.
