Growing Seattle new media company serving national and international clientele is looking for a talented Project Manager who knows having satisfied customers isn't good enough anymore - that If you really want a booming business, you have to create Raving Fans. Raving Fans is our mantra.
As Project Manager, your function in life is to ensure that we are doing our jobs, and that the client is doing theirs. Exceptional communication skills should be part of your DNA: we expect you to help identify and discuss project risks as early as possible, establish project timelines and deliverables, and hold both clients and coworkers accountable to the stated objectives. You should thrive in the rigors of a changing, fast-paced studio environment, and be able to learn—and adapt—quickly.
You will report directly to the company founder, who will facilitate, with our well-established project management methodology, your on-the-job training, and serve as your company mentor.
Applicants should respond with a C.V. outlining recent work history, and provide a cover letter detailing pertinent experience. We’d especially like to hear a war story (“case study,” if you prefer) or two about projects you’ve managed: specifically, what worked, what didn’t, and what you learned along the way. Prior experience in working with or within an interactive group is highly desired, though relevant experience from other industries will be considered. Candidates with experience acting as traffic/project managers in a medium- to large-sized advertising agency setting will definitely turn our heads.
Job Requirements
- A minimum of 2-3 years of traffic management or project management experience in an advertising or creative agency.
- Impeccable written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and people simultaneously, all day long.
- Proven track record of delivering projects on-time and within budget.
- Strong relationship building, management and leadership skills.
- Must be very organized with exemplary time management skills and a superb attention to detail.
- Ability to develop strong partnerships and build consensus; equally capable at working independently.
- Must be able to work equally well with all management levels within the organization.
- Proficiency with PC/Mac (spreadsheets, word processing) required.
- BA degree in advertising/marketing or related field preferred.
Your Job, In a Nutshell
- Project Manager will participate and/or lead the development of strategic deliverables, be the central point of communication in all phases of projects between clients and our team, will manage projects from start to completion and will be responsible for ensuring clients’ needs are met.
- Publish a daily punch list of pressing priorities/deadlines for the day, week, and month.
- Communicate through status reports, company project management systems, and weekly meetings with team members, as well as ongoing updates to keep all stakeholders informed of a project’s status at any time.
- Schedule and manage all external and internal meetings involving clients' work.
- Keep team members informed of any issues that could impact key deliverables and/or deadlines.
- Manage issue resolution and mitigate project risks.
- Act as the main point of contact between company and its clients, setting expectations and facilitating clear and open lines of communication.
- Establish product development calendars and track progress in a web-based project management and milestone system.
Thank You.

Please read carefully:
I am in need of a development and design team to build the platform and beta-ready prototype for a Web 2.0 targeted multi-media content/video delivery service.
There are three noteworthy considerations with this position:
1. There is a short 60-day time frame for the initial phase.
2. A percentage stake will be offered in the company venture or in any settlement, in lieu of wage.
3. There are strict requirements for non-disclosure.
This is not a typical craigslist solicitation. This is serious business with serious potential, and even the unlikely outcome of having to abandon this project will result in big bucks.
You would be part of a pioneering team and public relations effort, the first David to take on Goliath.
I am not a salesman, so you will not get a sales pitch. If you want to get on the ground floor of a visionary company, get rich, and have fun doing it, come see me. There is no risk, and nothing to invest but your experience and time.
Please do not respond if you are not completely confident and skilled in your field, and/or not able to work as a team and under strict timeline. Send an email in response to this ad, including a brief introduction and background. Also be aware that you will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement prior to our first meeting.

I noticed so many of us 
Your graphic design resume is going to be just as important as your portfolio, if not more important than your portfolio when it comes to job hunting. This is because most people will examine your resume before they open your portfolio book, meaning your resume is going to be your first impression! You have to remember that the people you will be sending your resume to go through tons of these every day so yours has to be immaculate and memorable, or they wont even bother looking at your portfolio.
