The Role And What You'll Do
The Project Manager is responsible for managing day-to-day projects across a designated book of business. They are professional problem solvers with a knack for navigating roadblocks and offering creative solutions. They guide project teams to meet milestones and deliver work on time, within budget and to project specifications, serving as a critical member of our “core” team structure. Without them, the trains go off the tracks and general havoc ensues.
Responsibilities
As the branding division of a global cultural marketing agency, our collective charge is to elevate ideas, elevate each other, & elevate our client’s stories in the hearts and minds of their customers. This challenging and rewarding act of building worlds starts with four simple tasks that you will do every day.
Thinking: At 160over90 ideas come first. You learn the brand. You live it. You question, diagnose, and solve. You employ art & logic and lived experience to dream up fun solutions to complex problems.
Making: Here, your craft is unparalleled. The act of deconstruction, reconstruction, and serious play push you to find unexpected visual solutions that do more than look good. You make things, and we make it possible.
Motivating: We champion one another. You push others’ ideas as much as you believe in yours. You iterate, reiterate, and give your perspective to elevate work for all.
Elevating: The first solution isn’t always the solution. It can be better. You push it to be more than it is. You do, outdo, redo until your breakthrough to work that it meets standards high enough to fill your book
Don’t meet every single requirement? We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
