Digital Project Manager

Break it down. Build it up.

You didn’t just organize Halloween candy by color, size, and overall brand sentiment — you convinced your friends to adopt your organizational schema. Today, you bring your big-picture thinking, and talents to the internet.

Kalamuna is seeking an agile project manager to lead and manage both website redesigns and retainer-based, strategic growth programs for mission-driven organizations. You should be familiar with content management systems (CMS), as most of our projects are in Drupal or WordPress, though not exclusively. We work in enterprise ecosystems and run sophisticated research and development projects too. 

From Discovery to Design, and right through to Implementation and Post-launch you'll balance schedule, scope, and budget. You’ll be the connector between and across our cross-functional teams, and with our client partners and internally. You’ll also play a hand in planning team assignments across the organization that promote work-life balance, and work closely with other account and project managers to continue building a sustainable practice. 

Candidates for this full-time (32-40h/wk) remote position must reside in the US or Canada. We are open to considering the right candidate at ~20/wk initially, leading into full-time. If you’re a recruiter or agency, please don’t contact us.
