Project Manager: Full time. Remote Work  

Lushomo helps partner organisations do good by communicating complex information effectively. We work mainly with United Nations clients and other international organisations in the areas of health, environment, education and economic development. We are mission-driven and only take on work that has a positive social impact. Lushomo is growing steadily, and together we are becoming leaders in information design and research communication.

 

We are currently looking for a project manager. Depending on your level of experience, we are looking for someone to manage individual projects, or to help us manage the overall organisation. We would ask senior candidates to start by managing a few projects and then to move up to a senior management role.

 

The right person will be a consummate manager: able to take responsibility for achieving results according to timeframe, budget and appropriate levels of quality. They will be organised, digitally savvy, quick to learn and work well under pressure within a small team.

 

Our projects involve managing the development of videos, data visualisations, social media materials, websites, reports and infographics. This involves working with a variety of creatives to assimilate complex material and generating digestible, easy to understand information for diverse audiences.

 

For more senior candidates, we are looking for help with our overall organisational development, HR, financial monitoring and planning, and whatever contributions are required to take the organisation forward.

 

The applicant must

  • Have previous project management experience
  • Be tech-savvy and able to work on a range of digital platforms
  • Have experience of managing budgets
  • Be resourceful, self motivated, and able to work remotely (or in our Cape Town office)
  • Be an adaptable team player and enjoy working in a collaborative environment
  • Have a proven ability to manage multiple projects, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to budget, while meeting client expectations.
  • Have excellent writing and communication abilities in English
  • Have an eye for detail and excellent coordination and organisational skills
  • For junior-level candidates, you will have fulfilled the criteria above and be willing to get stuck in in a fast-paced, challenging environment to learn as quickly as possible how to successfully manage projects and accounts
  • For senior candidates, we expect experience in leading teams of project managers or holding senior management roles.

Also beneficial:

 

  • Experience with Miro, Slack, Workflow Max or similar software  
  • A masters degree in a field related to international health, development or environment  
  • Experience in an agency environment, or working in a similar communications management role  
  • Previous experience working in visual design, media or another communications-related field.  
  • Exposure to any of a wide array of technical skills: data analysis, coding/development (front- or back-end), graphic design, video production, photography, etc.  
  • Language skills, particularly in any of the 5 UN languages other than English.  
  • This is a full-time, permanent position.
