ENTRY-LEVEL PROJECT MANAGER
Salary: $3,500 to $4,000
Based on level of experience
As a Project Manager with ADI-Designs, you’ll be in charge of overseeing our projects and ensuring that all requirements are met and that the project is delivered on time. You’ll plan, budget, oversee, and document all aspects of what we’re working on. You’ll make sure we keep to task and within scope, remind us of the requirements listed, and keep us all on track with the timeline and budget.
Project Managers are essential to us - without you, the projects collapse. You’ll be in charge of the whole team alongside the team lead, and at the same time you’ll work with our client manager to ensure that clients are happy with our work. You’ll manage suppliers, vendors, and manufacturers too - most of our projects require close supervision, so you’ll be visiting our partners regularly to supervise any pieces we outsource and ensure that they meet our standards.
We’re looking for someone who’s dexterous and agile in fast-moving environments, who can balance having a wide variety of tasks and keep on top of them, who can push and motivate the team to do their best in a system they create to manage assigned projects. We’re looking for someone who can work well under pressure, and who can keep a cool head during emergencies in order to make sure things still flow smoothly. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who can grow with us, who can continue to learn and improve and push themselves.
