About Us:

WITHIN is the world's first Performance Branding company, partnering with some of the biggest brands in the world to drive business growth through innovative marketing strategies. Our integrated operating model collapses the traditional marketing silos between creative and media, performance and brand, and across media channels. With a full suite of offerings including media, creative, SEO, Lifecycle, Retail Media, Affiliate and Influencer, we’re able to work with our brand partners in an integrated fashion, allowing us to align marketing strategies back to core business objectives. Client teams at WITHIN are trained on how to always act as a trusted business partner, acting as a fiduciary to client needs above our own.

Teams at WITHIN have the ability to work with iconic brands such as The North Face, Timberland, Movado Watches and Jose Cuervo. Everyone at WITHIN wants to grow and be challenged. It’s a collaborative place made up of small, closely knit and versatile teams that are fast and adaptive to solve problems and build systems.

About you: You are very process-oriented and love making sure your team is working as efficiently as possible. You generate user stories and acceptance criteria, and collaborate with developers and designers.

Not stopping there, you contribute to the SDLC with processes and documentation benefiting the entire team. You’re adept with agile development and introducing/adapting frameworks (e.g., Kanban, Scrumban) to the team. When you see a risk, you’re the type of person to loop people in appropriately and take the initiative. You collaborate intelligently, knowing when to spin off a team, or complete a task solo.

Even when you’re brushing your teeth, you’re thinking about the user, continually wondering how the team can provide more value. You’re always asking what the user wants, and thinking about how to provide them what they need. You can demo features and prototypes to users and generate valuable feedback about UX and adaptability.

  • Work with our head of product to translate roadmap items into actionable user stories
  • Ensure QA has access to clear acceptance criteria

  • Actively identify and mitigate project risks, involving relevant stakeholders as needed
  • Use wireframing and prototyping tools effectively in the design and development process
  • Help maintain comprehensive documentation for the benefit of the entire team

Must have:

  • 3+ years experience as project manager in a software development team
  • Proven track record of successfully managing and delivering complex technical projects
