We’re hiring! Project Manager (contract with possible full-time) for Creative Agency
Do you love collaborating with large teams, and seeing something you helped make up on a billboard? Do you value a flexible work schedule, and know from experience that there are better ways of working than the old school 9-to-5? Do you feel comfortable working remotely, and can share an eye-roll for the days of sitting in hours-long meetings with dozens of people? We want to hear from you.
