Project Manager – Part Time

The Part Time Project Manager should have a passion for bringing amazing projects to life. Critical skills are understanding what design thinking is and the ability to be a partner with our design leads in communicating the design intent to client and product development teams.

• Weekly clearly conveying the process and work plan to clients and your teams
• Ensuring all deliverables are clearly specified, scoped and agreed between client and team

• Knowledge of manufacturing and or product development a huge plus
• Strong critical thinking and verbal abilities
• Experience in formal project management methodologies, including various forms of documentation but with flexibility
• Experience managing both digital and physical projects
• Excellent writing skills and ability to produce enough project documentation, business requirements documentation and functional specifications to drive successful development
