Visit our website to get a better sense of who we are and what we do.
Who we're looking for:
You speak artistically but think technically, successfully managing the logistics of multiple large-scale projects while protecting the integrity of the designs. You are hyper-organized and extremely detail oriented, thriving on managing internal workflows as well as interfacing closely with our creative partners, clients, and vendors. You plan, budget, bid, organize, and control projects from our first internal/external meetings through strike and final payment. You comfortably wear many hats, overseeing resources, information, people, and finances, while being acutely self-aware and nimble in anticipating contingencies.
Here's what you'll do:
• Collaborate on the creation of proposals, scopes of work, estimates, and bids for new projects and clients
• Create and implement project timelines and schedules on a macro and micro scale, both internally within the studio and externally with creative partners, clients, and/or vendors. The Project Manager has his/her finger directly on the pulse of the project, and senses immediately when adjustments need to be made
• In concert with the CEO/President and/or designer(s), supervise the creative design process within the studio, including sketches, 2D digital renderings, technical drawings/specifications, paint elevations, 3D models, and internal fabrication
• Deep client services and interfacing - the main logistical, spiritual, financial, and administrative point of contact with the partner or client on a project from the first meeting to load-in to ''show'' to strike
• Deep vendor services and interfacing - generate request-for-bids, liaise with shops, negotiate bids, and manage fabrication, load-ins, events, and strikes to be on time, on budget, and of excellent integrity and quality
• When required, liaise closely with other designers (lighting, sound, etc.), architects, engineers, and any other relevant outside party whether contracted by us or the creative partner/client
• Create, maintain, track, control, and reconcile project budgets including but not limited to internal billable hours, overhire staffing, physical production, outside shops/vendors, transportation/freight, etc. from pre-production to close-out
• Perform site surveys and travel to project locations as needed
• Staff, lead, and supervise load-in/event/load-out crews when an outside shop is not involved
• Meet regularly with senior staff to determine an appropriate allocation studio personnel across all projects studio-wide and to review revenue and expenses
Your strengths and experience include:
• Bachelor's degree in Theater, Scenic Design, Technical Theater or equivalent work experience
• Minimum 4-5 years of experience in project/production management, ideally in theater (production management, technical direction) or other production design related field
• Experience on theatrical and non-theatrical projects, ideally including large-scale installations and outdoor activations, both within an office environment and ''in the field''
• Proven experience working successfully with shops/vendors of multiple sizes and types, along with hiring and leading crews
• A strong interest in and eye for design - must be able to be the designer's proxy when needed, and to contribute to strong creative-related decisions
• Demonstrated leadership and management experience
• Strong budgeting experience, and excellent attention to detail with paperwork, cost tracking, and petty cash
• Ability to work in a deadline based environment and within stressful, time-sensitive moments
• Ability to manage different personalities and collaborative styles internally and externally
• Strong working knowledge of MS Office, Google Docs, Dropbox required
• Experience with Vectorworks, Photoshop, or Adobe Illustrator a plus
• Experience with computer/information technology a plus
