ROLE MISSION

Working in partnership with two clients, the Project Manager will lead projects from concept to completion, exercising the requisite direction and control. We foster strong relationships with internal stakeholders and provide key updates on the status of project deliverables, inclusive of budget and resources.

Our team of one, under the guidance of an Account Director, bolsters the Client Service department and facilitates our creative team in delivering top-notch work within deadlines and budget. OLIVER is currently seeking a Project Manager to lead, oversee, and successfully manage several projects while navigating scope, quality, time, and cost constraints. This role may necessitate dynamic change management to ensure we provide the maximum business value.
