About The Position

OpenDor Media is hiring a Project Manager to join our Project Management team. In this role, you will be embedded within a specific department, bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to everything the team works on — from initial planning through to delivery. You will help translate priorities into clear plans, own the day-to-day project operations, and make sure work moves forward smoothly and on time. This is a role for someone who thrives on building strong working relationships, getting into the details, and being the person a team can truly rely on.

This is a remote, full-time position based in the United States and in the eastern time zone and reports to our Director of Project Management.

What You’ll Do:

Project Planning and Delivery

  • Own end-to-end project management for all initiatives within your assigned department, from kickoff through completion.
  • Translate team goals and priorities into clear project scopes, timelines, milestones, and deliverables.
  • Build and maintain project plans and task structures that give the team full visibility into what's happening and what's next.
  • Track progress, risks, dependencies, and changes, adjusting plans proactively to keep things on track.
  • Drive projects to on-time delivery while balancing quality, scope, and team capacity.

Embedded Department Support

  • Serve as the dedicated Project Manager for your assigned department — a consistent presence the team can rely on.
  • Develop a deep understanding of how the department works, what it produces, and what it needs to operate at its best.
  • Support day-to-day execution, coordination, and prioritization, and provide additional capacity during high-volume or high-complexity periods.

Coordination and Communication

  • Coordinate work across team members and stakeholders, facilitating clear handoffs and shared accountability.
  • Clarify roles, responsibilities, and decision-making so nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Lead project check-ins, planning sessions, and working meetings, documenting decisions, action items, and next steps.
  • Provide clear status updates to the team and leadership, proactively surfacing risks or scope impacts.

Systems, Tools, and Process

  • Use project management tools to ensure visibility, accountability, and consistency across all work.
  • Maintain organized project documentation and reporting.
  • Apply shared PM standards while adapting to the specific workflows and rhythms of your department.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, templates, and ways of working within the team.

Requirements

What You Have:

Necessary for Success:

  • 3+ years of experience in project management or a closely related role.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Comfort working with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and evolving project scopes.

Strongly Preferred (but not Required):

  • Familiarity with Wrike or similar project management platforms.
  • Experience in mission-driven, creative, or fast-paced organizations.

Who You Are:

  • A natural relationship-builder who earns trust quickly and becomes an indispensable part of the teams you work with.
  • Proactive and solutions-oriented, with the ability to anticipate issues and move work forward without being asked.
  • Detail-oriented with strong follow-through and a high standard for execution.
  • Comfortable moving between big-picture planning and hands-on, day-to-day coordination.
  • Highly organized and calm under pressure, even when priorities shift or timelines compress.
