Associate Project Manager

Organizer Of Awesomeness: You’ve excelled in a project management role for at least 1-2 years. You can drive agile projects in your sleep. You can manage a Jira board with one arm tied behind your back. You can oversee projects from the idea to launch while staying on time and on budget without breaking a sweat. If that sounds like you, there’s an opportunity to join our dynamic company as associate project manager. 

A typical day might include 

• Meeting with project leads to develop comprehensive project plans, including timelines, milestones, and resource allocation.
• Supervising project workflow with Jira and providing updates on project progress, milestones, and any potential issues 
• Meeting with key stakeholders to ensure our resources are being wisely managed. 
• Conduct risk assessments and develop risk mitigation strategies for the projects you are overseeing and effectively communicating them to stakeholders and C-suite executives.
• Optimizing project process/life cycles for continuous improvement in project delivery.
• Optimize resource allocation across multiple projects to maximize efficiency.
• Build and maintain relationships with senior executives and other stakeholders.
• Ensure there is  regular communication between project team members, stakeholders, and leadership.
• Effectively manage stakeholder expectations.
• Reviewing company-wide workloads and making adjustments where necessary.
• Implement effective change management processes to handle changes in project scope.
• Escalate issues and conflicts within and outside the project team
• Ensure projects are evaluated for compliance with relevant regulations and industry standards when applicable.
• Working with external contractors participating in contract negotiations and managing vendor relationships.
• Creating Gantt charts to manage our project schedule.

It’s not 100% necessary, but we’d love it if you had some online digital marketing and e-commerce experience.

You’ll love it here:

• You’ll be working with a great team. The marketing team at AlgaeCal have been there, done that, and got the t-shirt. They’ve penned Nike’s biggest slogans. They’ve made millions with Jeff Bezos. They’ve written some of the most clicked headlines in human history. These people have beaten so many controls, that the controls took out a restraining order. And the best part? They're friendly, funny, and easy to work with.
• You’ll use your powers for good. This isn’t one of those jobs that crush your soul with mindless tasks. On the contrary! You’ll be overseeing a wide range of assets that spreads a powerful message – bone loss is beatable.
• You won’t be micromanaged. We’ll give you a simple set of KPIs with crystal clear expectations.
• It’s not a sweatshop (mostly because the AC works). If you recognize that line, you’ll be relieved to know this isn’t one of those Madison Avenue gigs that expects you to work ridiculously long hours and frowns upon family time. We’re not like that! We enjoy our life, and we want you to enjoy yours too.

This job will give you ALL the feels…. 

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have crumbling bones. And they’re scared. Scared of fractures. Scared of breaks. And, most of all, scared of losing their independence. 

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to thousands of frightened people. If that excites you, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal. 

What Will You Earn?

Our Associate Project Manager position starts at $55,000 and can go up to $65,000 depending on your experience. If your salary expectations differ from this range, let us know! 

You’ll also enjoy the following benefits:

Other Goodies

• A generous healthcare package
• Monthly team events and activities
• Flexible Stat Holidays with the option to bank days for later use
• Weekly team lunches
• Hybrid work environment (we work from home 2 days a week)
• Casual dress code
• Incredible dog friendly, Yaletown office one block from SkyTrain
• Professional Development: You’ll get the opportunity to attend professional development conferences or workshops that will enhance your skills, expand your network, and drive your career forward with our support! And of course, we’ll cover your fees, accommodation, travel, meals, and any related materials or resources.

And above all, you’ll join a team that you’ll never want to leave. Culture is everything to us. Yes, we work extremely hard to change as many people’s lives as possible. But we know how to have fun and reward ourselves too.
