Modern Tribe: Project Manager (Products)
Headquarters: Minneapolis, Minnesota
URL: https://modern-tribe.breezy.hr/p/f9f0a712dded-project-manager-products?source=weworkremotely
The Opportunity
Modern Tribe is looking for a talented and experienced digital project manager to work with our Products team. We’re a WordPress agency and actively develop an events management suite, including The Events Calendar plugin (700,000+ active installs), as well as additional plugins and add-ons, so running some projects with the platform or experience with WordPress is ideal.
If you are drawn to order like a moth to a flame, then drop us a line. If you like maintaining lists and seeing team members make progress because you set them up to succeed, then you are perfect for this gig.
If you are skilled in agile, waterfall and whatever-suits-the-project techniques, then we should talk.
To be transparent, this is NOT a Digital Producer role. We have Product Owners that you will be working with as well as UX team members. If you have skills in this area, that's great! It just isn't the core part of what we need for this position.
Inclusion Statement
Modern Tribe is committed to a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion. We foster an environment of collaboration, open engagement, fairness and respect regardless of differences in age, race, disability, national origin, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation or veteran status. As a hybrid workspace ranging from distributed contractors to traditional employees, we value the unique perspectives and experiences of our global team.
We come from all walks of life. We are small business owners. We are tattoo aficionados and 80’s movie buffs and ex-pats. We are homeschool teachers. We are single parents. We are musicians, college drop-outs, and entrepreneurs. We are travelers, feminists, runners, volunteers, and makers. We are a Modern Tribe.
Everyday we strive to fulfill our motto: live well and do good work. We hope you will consider joining us.
