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.

• 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
