About the Position

PEG is looking for a Project Manager to guide creative projects from initial discovery through final delivery.

This is a hybrid project management and client services position. You will serve as the primary connection between our clients and production team, helping ensure that expectations are understood, communication is clear, responsibilities are organized and projects remain on schedule and within scope.

The right person will be equally comfortable building a friendly, professional relationship with a client and managing the details required to move a complex project forward. You should enjoy working with people, creating organization, anticipating needs, solving problems and helping a creative team do its best work.

You do not need to be a video editor, animator or technical production expert. You do need to be curious about the creative process, capable of learning how our work is produced, the equipment and software we use, and comfortable communicating with both clients and creative professionals.

What You'll Do

• Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned clients, creating a responsive, organized and professional experience.
• Maintain a clear understanding of each project’s objectives, scope, schedule, deliverables, responsibilities and next steps.
• Establish project milestones, deadlines, assignments and communication plans.
• Lead project discovery calls and help develop project approaches, proposals, estimates, scopes of work and schedules.
• Lead internal project-launch meetings and ensure the production team has the information needed to begin and complete its work successfully.

• Coordinate video shoots, live-event productions, meetings, travel and other project logistics.
• Provide clients with regular updates and follow up on outstanding feedback, approvals, materials, proposals and invoices.
• Identify potential timeline, scope, budget or communication concerns early and work with company leadership to determine next steps.
• Maintain accurate project and client information within Asana, Hub Spot, Harvest, Slack, Google Workspace and other company systems.
• Build relationships with current and past clients, better understand their needs and identify potential future opportunities.
• Lead project review meetings and help turn lessons learned into improvements to PEG’s processes and client experience.

What We're Looking For

We believe the right person for this position will be:

• Highly organized and attentive to detail.
• Friendly, personable and comfortable working with many different personalities.
• A clear and professional written and verbal communicator.
• Proactive about identifying what needs to happen next rather than waiting for every task to be assigned.
• Comfortable balancing multiple active projects, deadlines and competing priorities.
• Able to remain calm, flexible and solutions-focused when plans change.
• Confident enough to ask questions, clarify expectations and respectfully hold people accountable.
• Capable of seeing both the larger goal of a project and the individual details required to accomplish it.
• Interested in both the creative side of our work and the…
