So… what’s the job of the project manager?

When you boil it all down, the primary job of the project manager is to ensure deliverables make it to clients on time and within budget. It sounds simple when you put it in plain language like that. But getting that job done actually requires a lot of work. Your typical project manager will wear a bunch of different hats and handle a variety of tasks. These might include:

• Meeting with clients to understand their project goals and requirements
• Establishing and managing project scope
• Planning a project manager calendar and budget
• Contributing and creating client proposals and quotes
• Scheduling and hosting a project kickoff meeting, along with frequent check-ins
• Assigning tasks and responsibilities
• Streamlining communication between internal team members
• Monitoring project progress and clearing roadblocks
• Double-checking all project deliverables for accuracy
• Sending progress updates to clients
• Delivering the final project and summary to the client

Think of the project manager as the glue that holds the whole thing together — they’re the ones responsible for keeping projects on track.

Who does the project manager work with?

Since the project manager steers the ship from project inception to completion, there’s a high degree of collaboration involved. The project manager works with a huge assortment of people, including:

• External clients
• Internal team members
• Freelancers and outsourced help
• Vendors and suppliers

Of course, within each of those groups, there are numerous other people that the project manager will oversee and coordinate. For example, if a project manager is spearheading the relaunch of a new client website, they’ll be communicating and collaborating with:

• Web designers
• Web developers
• Copywriters
• SEO specialists
• The client themselves

As you can see, there can be a lot of cooks in the kitchen for any given marketing project. That’s why one of the major responsibilities of the project manager is to streamline communication so everyone, whether internal or external, is on the same page.

What skills do project managers need to have to work at PMC Media Group?

Collaboration and being a great multitasker are the two most important skills for any project manager. They need to be able to work effectively with many different individuals and teams.

But what other skills should the ideal candidate possess in order to thrive within their new role at PMC Media Group? It requires a healthy mix of technical and soft skills, which are broken down below.

• Solid knowledge of marketing strategies
• Data analysis and reporting
• Budgeting and forecasting
• Project management tools and dashboards
• Collaboration
• Communication
• Organization
• Time management
• Leadership
• Problem solving
• Conflict resolution

Think soft skills are just buzzwords or unnecessary resume fluff? Not quite. They carry a lot of weight in the hiring process, especially in a project management position that leans heavily on these less tangible competencies. Soft skills are an essential and very important factor in hiring decisions. Project managers keep marketing projects from running off the rails.

PMC Media Group depends on fulfilling promises to their clients, which means our team requires a detail-oriented person who can corral all the key players, deliver projects on time, and (perhaps most importantly) keep clients coming back.
