Duties & Responsibilities
ENVIRONMENT: JOIN the remote team of a dynamic US-based Marketing Agency seeking an ambitious Junior Project Manager where you will fill a client-facing role. You will run high-impact A/B Tests requiring coordination across many disciplines such as research, strategy, design, copywriting, development, QA, analytics, and client stakeholders. The position is open to Fresh Graduates – preferably Economics, Math or Finance majors. Your job will be to keep everything moving forward, aligned, and energized. DUTIES: You’ll own three core responsibilities -
- Coordination - You’ll manage cross-functional teams of 5–10 people and ensure tests move smoothly from idea → build → launch → analysis. You’ll spot risks early, unblock teams, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
- Strategy & Planning - You’ll help build and maintain a testing roadmap of 10–20 upcoming experiments. You’ll communicate the “why” behind the plan, set expectations, and walk clients through progress and results in weekly meetings.
- Energy (“Vibes”) - You’re the main point of contact for clients and internal teams. You bring clarity, positivity, and momentum. When things get busy or complicated, you keep people focused and motivated.
REQUIREMENTS
- Open to Fresh Graduates—especially Economics, Math, or Finance majors.
- You do not need prior A/B Testing experience or even formal Project Management experience. We will train you. Here’s what we need from you:
- Organization and diligence - You like systems, checklists, and timelines. You front-load work, plan ahead, and don’t stop until things are finished properly.
- Communication - You default to over-communication. You proactively reach out to clients and teammates, flag risks early, and ask for help when you need it.
- Smart and high agency - You learn quickly, enjoy technology and design, and want to understand why things work (or don’t). You’re the kind of person who notices patterns and asks good questions.
