We are seeking a Project Manager with brand growth and marketing experience. Our ideal next teammate has experience executing long- and short-term strategic plans for multiple departments or clients simultaneously. A McKee Wallwork Project Manager is half of a powerful consultant team of Strategists and Project Managers. Together, the consultant team helps our mid-size, national clients navigate the forces hindering growth. If the Strategist is the navigator, the Project Manager is the driver.

McKee Wallwork exists to help organizations become who they were designed to be. This implies that every organization is not currently living up to its full potential—spoiler alert: we all have room to grow. For over 26 years we have honed a process to help reveal what an organization’s true potential looks like. We then turn that potential into tactical growth plans. But the best laid plans without execution are only theory. It’s our talented Project Managers who walk our clients toward their potential one, or many projects at a time. Thus, our Project Managers tend to build trusting relationships with our clients—usually as the main point of contact—and with our internal specialists.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Strategists to understand what steps clients must take next in order to grow their organizations.
• Connect and communicate with clients to align on objectives for success.
• Disseminate intel internally and externally so that all teams are oriented for success.
• Set and uphold bandwidths, timelines, deliverables, and budgets.
• Collaborate with our Scheduler to make sure all essential meetings are booked so as to give every meeting the chance to be productive and strategic.
• Understand and communicate the firm’s processes for our products and services.
• Keep our project management system up to date with all project and client information.
• Comfortable and confident when speaking with clients in person or via Zoom.
• Willing and able to reach out to clients at a moment's notice should an emergency arise.
• Able to understand the “why” behind a project or task, and not simply the “how” and “what.”
• Making sure work is error-free with a strong attention to detail.

Traits that catch our eye

• Strong ability to communicate and present.
• Ability to generate consensus with internal teams and with our clients.
• Tends to be a natural confidant.
• Typically goes above and beyond.
• Knows how to work on a team and discern when it’s time to lead and when it’s time to support.

Mandatory Requirements

• Five years of experience managing or leading brands and teams.
• Willingness to put in the hours to get the job done, coupled with the planning know-how to ensure healthy working hours for the whole team.

About McKee Wallwork

For almost three decades, we have used marketing principles to solve complex business problems. From our experience working with blue chip clients to smaller family-owned organizations, we have learned that the best intelligence one needs to solve any challenge begins with one's own understanding of who they are. It’s what we’ve built our practice around. It’s what we mean when we say we help organizations become who they were designed to be.

Today, more agents are vying to steer an organization toward their own agendas. Owners must navigate endless opinions on who to hire, what processes and products to offer, who the customer should be, what is the right political affiliation, and on and on. And the pressures aren’t just external. Internal dynamics compounds the noise making it more and more difficult to find the signal. That is why we have developed a well-vetted team of bright and creative thinkers and doers to work alongside clients to solve their intractable problems. Sounds fun?
