Project Manager for software/entertainment co.
Storyblaster has created software to revolutionize how people raise money through crowdfunding and we're looking for a Project Manager to give our team direction and help us prioritize initiatives as we continue to grow. If you're a natural leader, possess top-tier organizational skills, and have a passion for helping creators and entrepreneurs working to lend a voice to underrepresented communities, this could be the perfect position for you.
Our PM's primary role is to ensure a smooth development process through facilitating excellent communications between technology, content, and executive teams. A proactive role, our PM will anticipate, mitigate and track issues across the product calendar (operational, technical, content, and marketing), and will assist the team to prioritize and resolve these issues.
The PM will schedule, plan, and run meetings such as sprint reviews and any other necessary ad-hoc discussions. They will be able to describe content issues and requirements to technologists, and technical issues to content creators, and interpret emerging business or user requirements for the whole team.
The ideal candidate will have experience and skills in the following areas:
-Fostering product delivery, specifically in the realms of software, entertainment, and/or consumer-facing web applications
-Tracking multiple projects and teams
-Creating systems and timelines, guiding team deliverables, and related management experience
-Excellent organizational skills and eye for detail
-Friendly, positive demeanor and ability to communicate with an extremely diverse staff
This role would best be filled by someone with a background in software and/or web development, who also grasps the front-facing challenges of our business: customer service, marketing, etc. Interest and knowledge surrounding social media and content creation will be helpful as well. A former production manager in entertainment who has some technical expertise could also be a good fit.
We offer many perks including a casual, friendly office with plenty of snacks and swim breaks, and we pride ourselves on our diverse staff and amazing working atmosphere - we are definitely not ''corporate.''
This is a full-time, independent contractor position (to start) with room to grow. Salary is negotiable, based on experience. Interested candidates should submit a resume and brief intro explaining why they would be a good fit for the position. Storyblaster is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
