Project Manager
M Booth has an immediate opportunity for a Project Manager to join our growing Creative team.
A few things to know before applying:
- Team is everything. We pride ourselves on being egoless (or close to it). If you like being part of a supportive and selfless group of people, there’s a good chance you’ll be a fit.
- Intellectual curiosity is rewarded. If you love to read, consume media, tinker and make cool things, we’d love to chat.
- We take our jobs very seriously, but we do not take ourselves very seriously. If you don’t have a sense of humor, don’t apply.
- The M Booth mantra is #BeInspired. To us, that means living an inspired life, and bringing those experiences to your work, your clients and your team. While not a job requirement, we enjoy working with people who adopt this philosophy.
