THE POSITION

The Project Manager position is both a client-facing and internally facing role at Motionstrand, and requires a high level of attention to detail, and the ability to work with a variety of different people, in different roles. You will be responsible for managing multiple projects, with different clients, keeping a close eye on the successful delivery of each. The focus of this role will be supporting web development projects and digital marketing deliverables including but not limited to SEO, analytics, reporting services, and creative. You will work closely with internal resources, to ensure that there are clear and reasonable expectations for each project that are able to be delivered on time, and on budget.

This role requires a strong skillset in communication, project tracking and reporting, deliverables, scheduling and reinforcing the Motionstrand brand through internal and client interactions.

Ideally you will enjoy a fast-paced environment filled with colleagues who are equally driven by their commitment to delivering the highest quality solutions to our clients. Context switching is common; being able to set up and manage an effective schedule needs to be blended with the ability to be flexible to team and client needs.

You must consistently demonstrate your ability to be a strong planner, clear communicator, organizer, executor, and strategist. Your proven track record of managing multiple projects, high visibility client and partner accounts, wearing many hats, ability to work fast and smart, and ability to adapt and iterate quickly to changing demands are key to your ongoing success – and that of the entire team!
