Job Description:

We're a design and technology studio that builds digital products, creates experiences, and loves dogs.In 2013 we saw an opportunity to build a studio a little differently. We set out to maintain a small, nimble team large enough to meet clients' needs under one roof but small enough to move quickly. We believe in delivering the highest quality product while still being able to be home in time for dinner, which some like to call "work/life balance."To succeed at Five & Done is to leave ego at the door, treat others with respect, empathize with our clients and respond to every opportunity with the same passion that got you here.Sound like your cup of tea? Let's chat.Five & Done is looking to add to our team in Aliso Viejo, CA.This is a perfect role for a Senior Project Manager with a strong understanding of web development, UX/UI design, and quality assurance processes. The Senior Project Manager should also have an account management mindset and contribute in a way that is more than just Gantt charts and status reports.The role is responsible for building relationships with our clients and becoming a subject matter expert on their industries and ecosystems. This person will work with major clients, like Warner Bros., Hagerty, Toyota, and Ubisoft across a variety of project types and sizes. They will help our team design, build, maintain, and evolve marketing sites and web applications.We work with great clients who know us for being creative, principled, diligent, intellectual, passionate, precise, and a hell of a lot of fun. We believe in work-life balance---but also getting the work done and done right. Our office is casual; our team is a family; our benefits are great and our love of semicolons can border on obsessive.Everyone at Five & Done has a voice. We are constantly improving ourselves, our process, and our people and we'd expect you to contribute to that. We hire people that spot problems and look for solutions; who always take the time to log a bug they see, no matter how small; who can write a convincing email to communicate technical points to non-technical people; who get antsy when they see things sit on their to-do list too long; who respond to emails, even if it's to say 'I'm looking into this and will have an answer by tomorrow.'Responsibilities
