STINSON
Project Manager (Agency Experience)
STINSON, Toronto, ON
We are looking for a PROJECT MANAGER
WHO WE ARE
Stinson Design is an integrated visual communications consultancy group made up of a diverse, multi-talented team. We are expanding, thanks to our culture of excellence, growth, and creativity that delivers best-in-class work to all our clients - everywhere, every day.
Our team is made up of creative, strategic and critical thinkers that specialize in finding and creating solutions by taking complex information and turning it into beautiful, cohesive, seamless stories.
We push the limits of design in PowerPoint to create highly dynamic, animated, and fluid presentations that are engaging and inspire action. Samples of our client work can be viewed at http://stinson.co/portfolio.
If you are looking for an opportunity to work closely with some of the world's most recognized brands or the opportunity to help launch what could become the next most recognized brand, or a space to be curious, to learn, and to use your skills, this may be the role for you.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Stinson is looking for a Project Manager who is a master at getting things done. You will act as a bridge between our Production Team (Design & Consulting) and our Accounts Team (Sales) to ensure end-to-end delivery of our projects. You will also support the growth of our Project Management discipline and operations for our lines of business. This is not a full-cycle project management role.

Together with our Production Team, as the Project Manager, you will oversee monitoring and maintaining the project scope, timeline, budgeted hours, and quality of each deliverable. You will also be responsible for maintaining project reports and documentation and reconciling the project data against its associated SOW.
As Project Manager, you will be responsible for effective and accurate Project Planning and Resource Management on our ClickUp platform. These activities include but are not limited to creating project schedules, allocating resources and resource levelling. The goal is to maximize and balance resource utilization of our team's capacity and inform our sales team of available resources in real-time.
You are expected to protect the integrity of the creative while ensuring all client expectations are consistently being met or exceeded.
You can handle multiple projects simultaneously and are comfortable in a fast-paced environment. You can monitor the health of the projects and report on project statistics. You have a strong sense of integrity, attention to detail, and an eye for quality assurance. You are a natural leader. You enjoy participating in brainstorming meetings and bring energy & fun into your work.
