Work With Us
Project Manager
Are you a sparkling conversationalist who loves spreadsheets? Do you know the difference between managing and administration? Have you always wanted to direct? Mule Design is hiring a project manager!
This is a full-time job starting as soon as we find the right person.
Your Responsibilities
- Manage budget, schedule, and workflow for internal and client projects, and potentially the studio as a whole
- Identify and neutralize potential risks to happiness, quality, or profitability
- Cultivate a positive and effective relationship with the client as primary point of contact
- Set team expectations to ensure high-quality work on time and within budget
- Help everyone stay motivated and focused
- Define and scope new projects
- Oversee studio-level forecasting, resourcing, and load balancing
- Contribute to the continual improvement of practices and processes
Your Qualities
- Several years managing complex interactive design projects and budgets (enough time to make confident recommendations and judgment calls based on previous experience)
- A clear, direct communication style, with the capacity to read the room and adjust accordingly
- Deep understanding of the principles and methods of user-centered design
- Ability to identify priorities and shift focus between the big picture and the minutiae
- Ability to acknowledge and learn from mistakes
- Intellectual curiosity
What We Offer
Of course you will get salary, benefits, and vacation days, but there are a few things that set us apart.
We work reasonable hours. A big part of your job is helping us meet our deadlines and get out of the office by 6 pm. No medals are issued for heroic all-nighters. Quite the opposite.
Your co-workers will be outstanding. The people here are really terrific. We’re continually learning from each other. And aside from the legendary annual Mule Nog, we don’t have officially-dictated fun. You know what builds teams? Doing great work together, and then going home.
We choose our clients carefully. You’ll help solve interesting problems for good people doing worthwhile things. If things get hairy, we’ll have your back.
We’re big enough to make a difference, and small enough for you to do the same. If you have ambition and a strong point-of-view (and the skills to back it up) you’ll have a good time at Mule.
