Responsibilities
Create and track work plans like a to-do list on steroids (color-coding optional but fun)
Manage small-to-medium projects while keeping your cool (and your sense of humor) intact
Keep an eagle eye on the contract, scope, schedule, goals, and budget. (Nobody likes surprise budget overages… except maybe your local coffee shop.)
Work with the PIC or Sr. Associate to shape designs that dazzle, or come up with new ideas that outshine the competition
Coordinate with client reps as directed by PM/PIC—just maybe skip the emojis in official emails. (Or do, if that’s their style.)
Schmooze with clients, consultants, and agencies like you’re hosting a star-studded gala
Stay on top of consultant scopes, schedules, and deliverables, so they don’t go •poof• into the void
Participate in on-site adventures—bring sturdy shoes and your best sense of direction
Direct and dabble in creating stunning visuals (Adobe Suite, hand sketches, interpretive dance—whatever gets the point across)
Oversee drafting wizardry in CAD—lines so perfect they could be in a geometry museum
Lead materials and product research. (Bonus points if you discover who invented the spork along the way.)
Ensure your team’s workload is balanced—no one likes to discover they’re double-booked •after• five cups of coffee
Help everyone hit the mark with time to spare—deadlines aren’t mere suggestions
Organize internal and consultant meetings—extra points if you make them fun
Be ready to switch roles like a trusty Swiss Army knife: manage projects or back up another PM as sub-PM/production
