We need a people person who has a knack for helping others. Someone who is very detail-oriented, unflappable, hungry for new knowledge, nothing-falls-through-the-cracks, well-spoken and well-written - full to the brim with humility. Self-aware, ambitious, and willing to learn about themselves and grow in their career and as a person.
Here’s why: at Explainify, we make short videos that help businesses more clearly explain their products and services. We work with forward-thinking leaders at high-growth companies and Fortune 500s -- and their projects need to be managed with excellence. We’ve built an incredible place to work (think... work-life fit, being appreciated, not being micromanaged) where we each have a say in the company’s trajectory. We’re a small team of high performers that are constantly learning & getting better.
Pretty cool, huh?
We’re experiencing tremendous growth, with an incredibly Vivid Vision to be THE leader in our category.
The quick and dirty of the role:
You’ll be responsible for co-managing up to 50 client video projects. As Project Manager, you’re the person who transitions projects from sales to production. Then you lead the client through the entire process, from you leading the first kickoff call to deliver their final video. This is not just traffic management, you’re responsible for the client’s Explainify Experience. You MUST be a fast learner and adaptable, able to make decisions quickly in a high pressure, fast-paced environment. Seriously, it’s fast-paced. You’ve gotta be able to handle the curveballs with grace.
