Project Manager
Join Our Team!
Work at the Vyne
Hey, we’re Grapevyne, and we’re seeking a Project Manager (PM) to join our team of talented creatives to drive client projects from inception to completion. This position is contract to hire. If you’re awesome, there’s opportunity to continue as a full-time employee with us.
We’re a small content marketing agency based in Minneapolis. That means most of our projects are multi-faceted. We’re talking video production, design, copy, website development, and more. The best fit for this position is someone who can understand dynamic projects, implement efficient processes within our team to drive project delivery, and have fun while doing it! We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we’re looking to collaborate with someone who can handle stress but laugh at it, too. Full disclosure: we have not employed a PM before, and we’re excited to see all that’s possible within this position.
We use Monday.com as our project management system, and we’re totally self-taught. We’d like our new PM to show us how to streamline processes and find efficiencies within the robust platform. That said, if you’re incredible and new to Monday.com, we’d still love to hear from you.
For this contract-to-hire position, we’re interested in trying you on for size (and vice versa) for three months before we make a hiring decision. We’re open to a competitive pay conversation.
If the above sounds good to you, check out the details below and see if you’re still interested. Please note, it’s super important to us that you align with our values, so be sure to give those a read before applying.

Display ambition and self direction.
Following client meetings, make sure team tasks are reflective of any changes discussed with the client.
