WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Stinson is looking for a Project Manager who is a master at getting things done.

As Project Manager, you will be responsible for effective and accurate Project Planning and Resource Management on our ClickUp platform. These activities include but are not limited to creating project schedules, allocating resources and resource levelling. The goal is to maximize and balance resource utilization of our team’s capacity and inform our sales team of available resources in real-time.

You are expected to protect the integrity of the creative while ensuring all client expectations are consistently being met or exceeded.

You can handle multiple projects simultaneously and are comfortable in a fast-paced environment. You can monitor the health of the projects and report on project statistics. You have a strong sense of integrity, attention to detail, and an eye for quality assurance. You are a natural leader. You enjoy participating in brainstorming meetings and bring energy & fun into your work.
