What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Manager position at Teague?
Overview
The Project Manager is responsible for all the day-to-day operational aspects of projects, project teams, budgets, scope, and client communications on design programs. The PM manages large, complex, multi-resource projects and brings them to successful completion on budget and on budget, meeting or exceeding client expectations.
Why We Need This Position:
We work in a field founded on change and innovation. We need someone who knows how to partner with our clients to help us deliver on the promise to nurture clients. That person then needs to know how to tap into Teague’s creative talents and energy to deliver more to those clients than they even thought possible. This position is about developing long-term relationships that will move the industry forward for both the client and Teague by ensuring that we are delivering on the technical aspects of a project - mock-ups, and protoypes. The PM ensures that everyone stays on course, striving to exceed client expectations every step of the way.
Who We’re Looking For:
You love all aspects of working with clients - internally and externally. You have the experience to handle the concrete nuts and bolts of determining a given project’s scope, deliverables, timeline, and budget, but you’re equally capable of grasping the big picture, which means you’re adept at prioritizing multiple projects and balancing their competing needs, all while adhering to deadlines. You’re also a visionary: You can read a client’s mind, anticipate their needs, and serve as a thought leader in the industry, anticipating and solving for potential hiccups before they occur. Specifically, this means you participate in all phase reviews, advocate for the client and represent them in internal reviews, and educate the client by promoting all that Teague has to offer them. You use your exceptional communication skills to deliver inspiration and results to the client, as well as insightful feedback to Senior Management and partners at Teague. Bottom line: If asked to see the forest for the trees, you could see each leaf, the forest, and the continent. You’re detail-oriented, sensationally well organized, forward-thinking and great with people, and you love nothing more than the prospect of aligning the needs and talents of two parties—client and Teague—in perfect harmony.
