Head of Project Management

JOB SUMMARY Every website project at Cybernautic has a finish line. It has a client who’s counting on us, a team pulling in different directions, and a timeline that doesn’t care about surprises. The Project Manager is the person who holds it all together.
As an Associate Project Manager, you’ll own a portfolio of website projects from kickoff through launch. You’re the one who knows where every project stands at any given moment, and you’re the one who does something about it when something slips.
You’ll work alongside Strategists, Designers, Developers, Content Writers, and Web Marketing Specialists in Asana, HubSpot, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive. You won’t be doing the design or writing the code, but you’ll understand enough to ask the right questions, spot the risks, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
This is an in-office role in Bloomington-Normal, IL. If you’re the kind of person who gets satisfaction from a project that launches on time, a client who knows exactly where things stand, and a team that knows you’ve got their back, this one was built for you.
