Project Manager

At Groh, every project is someone's dream room and the Project Manager is the person who makes sure that dream actually gets built.You'll own the day-to-day execution of client projects from the moment design is approved to the day the room is complete and closed out. That means coordinating contractors, tracking orders with procurement, keeping clients informed, and making sure every moving piece lands where it's supposed to; on time and on budget. This is not a role for someone who needs all the answers before they start. It's a role for someone who thrives in motion, manages complexity without getting rattled, and knows the difference between a decision they should make and one that needs to go up the chain.WHAT YOU'LL OWNProject Execution & CoordinationOwn assigned projects from final design sign off through installation and close outCommunicate design materials, specifications, and intent clearly to contractors and vendorsCoordinate bidding, ordering, scheduling, and delivery logistics across all project phasesTrack timelines, budgets, and dependencies accurately while flagging issues before they become problemsClient CommunicationProvide regular, clear updates to clients throughout construction and implementationSet and manage expectations around timelines, change orders, and next steps with confidencePartner with team on key milestones, deliveries, and project close outCross-Functional CollaborationWork closely with Designers to understand and communicate design intent and constraintsCoordinate with Procurement and Operations on orders, logistics, and delivery schedulesEscalate risks, scope changes, or budget concerns promptly: no surprises, no sitting on problemsSystems & DocumentationMaintain accurate project trackers, files, and communication logs throughout every phaseKeep internal systems updated with timelines, payments, and milestones in real timeSupport clean project wrap up, including final documentation and file archiving at closeWHO YOU AREA natural coordinator: you bring order to complex, moving situations without breaking a sweatComfortable in the in-between: you can work within a framework and know when to use your own judgment vs. escalateA clear, proactive communicator: clients and colleagues always know where things standDetail oriented in a way that serves people, not just process: you track things because it matters, not because you were told toComfortable in a hybrid work environment, working from our DC office 23 days a weekCalm under pressure: you don't let a delayed shipment or a shifted timeline derail your whole dayA collaborator at heart: you understand that in a design studio, the best outcomes are built togetherGenuinely excited by the idea that your work shows up in spaces where kids learn, play, and growQUALIFICATIONSRequired24+ years of experience in project management, operations coordination, or a closely related roleDemonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with different timelines and stakeholdersStrong client communication skills: you can deliver good news and hard news with equal careExperience coordinating across trades, vendors, or contractors in a deadline-driven environmentProficiency in project management software (we use Monday.com) and standard business toolsExceptional follow through and organizational discipline: things don't fall through the cracks on your watchReliable personal vehicle required: this role involves site visits and installation coordination at client locations across the DMVNice to HaveBackground in interior design, home construction, or luxury residential projectsExperience working inside a design studio, architecture firm, or similar creative services environmentWHY GROHGroh was founded by educators and that changes everything about how we work.
