Resource Manager

Element is on the hunt for a self-motivated, highly organized, roll-up-your-sleeves kind of team player who thrives on solving problems, keeping work moving, and bringing order to the beautifully chaotic world of agency life. If you love variety, pace, and being the person everyone trusts to keep things on track, you’ll feel right at home here.

The Resource Manager is the hub of our operation. You’ll guide every project from kickoff to completion—opening jobs, building schedules, coordinating workflow, and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. When timelines shift (and they will), you’ll see the big picture, make smart decisions fast, and keep the team aligned and energized. Simply put: you’ll help create seriously happy clients and a seriously happy team.
