Project Manager – Client Projects & Experiential Production – Description 

Our client is a design and manufacturing company that specializes in custom-built environments, and they’re looking to add a Project Manager to their team. In this role, you’ll own timelines, deliverables, and cross-functional coordination from kickoff through close-out. The work spans corporate events and branded experiences for clients like Alo Yoga, as well as activations tied to events like Comic-Con. It’s a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment where strong ownership is key. You’ll be managing around 10 active projects at a time, with additional work in the pipeline. Most projects run between 30 and 90 days, so being able to prioritize, stay organized, and keep things moving is critical. The team is open to candidates from live events (e.g. festivals, conventions, etc.) or design-focused backgrounds who are comfortable managing logistics and using project management tools to keep everything on track. The role is fully onsite, but there’s no travel required, making it a great fit for someone looking to move away from onsite event support.
